Markus Penckner was a Transylvanian renegade who migrated to Istanbul in 1572 alongside his friend Adam Neuser, who was a Protestant preacher from Heidelberg, to work as spies for the Ottoman Empire. Their requests were granted by Sultan Selim II, and both remained spies for the Ottomans throughout what can be seen in records of their lives. Both Penckner and Neuser had converted to Islam.
