He was one of the most notable chieftains ofSouli in the early 19th century and leader of a rebel force underMarkos Botsaris during the Revolution.[2] He was present inMissolonghi on 4 November 1821 during the formation of theSenate of Western Continental Greece, as a "commissioner of Captains from Souli".[3] He acted as deputy of theSouliotes in theFirst National Assembly at Epidaurus, byMarkos Botsaris' suggestion, and he then became part of theLegislature.[4] He was killed outside of Missolonghi, on 28 February 1826, while attacking aTurkish rampant.[1] His dead body was taken from the Ottomans by men of his group, who transferred it to Missolonghi and buried it, the next day, in an individual grave withgeneral honours.[5][6] The mention on the cross on his grave that heFell in the Exodus is not accurate, as he had already been killed before theExodus of Missolonghi.[1]
