	At times the relationship between a ''tellak'' and his client became intensely personal. For example, it is recorded that in the mid-18th century, a [[janissary]]—a member of an elite corps in the standing army of the Ottoman Empire—had a ''tellak'' for a lover. The latter was kidnapped by the men of another regiment and given over to the use of their commander. A days-long battle between the two janissary regiments ensued, which was brought to an end only by the intervention of the Sultan, who had the ''tellak'' hanged.
