== Biography == Savvas was born in the 1880s in [[Thessaloniki]]. He participated in an armed group at [[Mount Olympus|Olympus]] at the beginning of the [[Macedonian Struggle]]. He soon became a leader of a small group. There he met with [[Konstantinos Mazarakis-Ainian]] and at the end of 1905, Mazarakis asked him to move with his team in [[Mariovo]] after the damage the [[Greeks|Greek]] bodies suffered there. There, expanding his body, he cooperated with Captain Theodosis, [[Konstantinos Garefis|Kapetan Garefis]] and Em. Katsigaris. He acted in the area of Mariovo and [[Almopia]] throughout the Macedonian Struggle, persecuting the [[Bulgarians|Bulgarian]] groups.
