He is first shown in the first season as the bodyguard of Kayı Bey Süleyman Şah and his wife Hayme Hatun. He is extremely loyal to them and only follows their orders, always protecting them. In the second season, after Süleyman Şah dies, he stays as Hayme Hatun's bodyguard and is again extremely loyal. When Gündoğdu, Süleyman Şah's son, and Hayme's nephew Tuğtekin blame him and Hamza Alp for treachery, Abdurrahman is shown to be patient and continuously loyal to his tribe, unlike Hamza who allies with the Mongols. Ertuğrul, Gündoğdu's half-brother, sends him to spy in Baycu Noyan's camp and see what Hamza Alp is doing. After it is clear who the enemy is, Abdurrahman also prevents the devious Aytolun Hatun from killing Halime Hatun. The season ends with a portion of the Kayı, led by Ertuğrul, splitting from Gündoğdu, and migrating to the Western borders. The third season begins and Abdurrahman is shown to be loyal to Ertuğrul, just as he was loyal to Süleyman Şah and takes part in various battles with him till the end of season 4 where the Kayı move to Söğüt. Abdurrahman continues with what he does in the fifth season. He also becomes the Alpbaşı of the Kayı, replacing Bamsı Beyrek for a while.

Abdurrahman makes an appearance as an old man in the sequel Kuruluş: Osman. In the first season, he arrives with the news that Ertuğrul, who is in Konya, is extremely unwell. Abdurrahman takes part in many battles alongside Ertuğrul's son Osman and is later forced to live with one arm when his right arm is wounded by Komutan Balgay whilst rescuing Princess Sofia, and is thus amputated. The next season begins after Osman kills Sofia in the first season. Here, Abdurrahman is shown to be very concerned for Ertuğrul when he returns from Konya as Ertuğrul is on his death bed. He prays all day for him and informs him about what is going on in the tribe and is devastated upon his death. He later supports Osman in becoming the Bey and serves him. He is later martyred in an ambush by Kara Şaman Togay, devastating his companion Bamsı.
