AHC: Trebizond retakes Constantinople after 1453

Although most believe the Byzantines fell in 1453, the Empire of Trebizond, the last Greco-Byzantine state in Anatolia, did not fall to the Ottomans until 1461.

Your challenge is to have Trebizond retake Constantinople...with a PoD after 1453.
 
Pretty impossible. By 1453 the demise of the Empire of Trebizond was not a question of if, but when the Ottomans would turn their attention to them.
 
Constantinople

Not very likely. It would have made more sense if Trebizonite territory bordered the empire of Nicea, but they were separated by the Turks.
 
Any POD needs to start with weakening the Ottomans.

Mehmet II's uncle, Prince Orhan survives and escapes to Venice during the Fall of Constantinople. Mehmet II falls ill and dies in 1464. His son Bayazid II is only 3.
