## Biography

Dogiamas was born in 1880 in Barovitsa (now Kastaneri) of [Paionia](/source/Paionia_(municipality)), [Kilkis](/source/Kilkis_(regional_unit)). He and his brothers were bilingual in Greek and Bulgarian.

At a young age, Dogiamas joined the Macedonian Struggle with his cousins, Traianos, Lazaros, Dimitrios, and Georgios Dogiamas. He became a co-leader of the Lazaros armed group and acted until 1907, mainly at [Giannitsa Lake](/source/Giannitsa_Lake). Until the end of the Macedonian Struggle, Dogiamas was active in the regions of [Paionia](/source/Paionia_(municipality)), Paiko, [Almopia](/source/Almopia), and [Gevgeli](/source/Gevgelija), confronting Bulgarian [komitadjis](/source/Komitadji) and Ottoman soldiers as the leader of his own armed group.

After the liberation of Macedonia and Greece's entry into [World War I](/source/World_War_I), Dogiamas set up an armed group with his cousin, chieftain Georgios Domiagias, to confront Bulgarian komitadjis, who had re-entered Macedonia. In 1916, their armed group battled a group of Bulgarian komitadjis. Christos Dogiamas and his cousin's brother-in-law, Georgios Kehagias, died after eliminating two komitadji armed groups.
