Kemal Pamuk was a handsome Turkish diplomat.

He was the son of one of the Sultan's ministers and went to London for a conference to create an independent Albania. Evelyn Napier is given the job to look after Kemal and making Kemal happy until the start of the conference as Turkey's support is deemed vital. Evelyn initially took Kemal as a duty, but liked Kemal more and more the longer he knew Kemal.

Evelyn writes to Mary, who he a burgeoning romance, to tell her that he going to Downton and fox hunting with the York and Ainsty. After Mary tells Cora, Cora writes to Evelyn to invite him to stay at Downton Abbey rather the a pub as Evelyn had planned. Evelyn writes backs that about Kemal and Cora invites Kemal to stay as well. Although Mary does not want to join the hunt, Cora insists she does.

He was very attracted to Lady Mary Crawley, who returned the attraction, and one night he goes to her room where he suspiciously dies of a heart attack.
