Standing on a hill of Kastoria, he is supposed to have converted many Christians to Islam during the Mehmed II (the Conqueror) period. According to John Kingsley Birge and his book The Bektashi Order of Dervishes, it is believed that a Bektashi named Kasim Baba have come and settled in the time of Muhammad (in 1451-1481).
