Kemal is a business owner from Gölcük who owned an electronics store before the earthquake. He is often talking on his cell phone and though Sinan does not like Kemal's personality, he admires his business savvy. Kemal helps Sinan get a job hauling black market televisions in Istanbul. Kemal has an evil side, however, and physically attacks Irem one night after she has been secretly meeting with Dylan. He kisses Irem forcefully but she manages to escape before anything else happens. When Irem becomes the subject of rumors around the camp because of her relationship with Dylan, Kemal implies to Sinan that he should kill his daughter rather than allow her to ruin the family name.
