Lika Ceni (born 1749,[1] Ulqin) known as Kapidan Likaceni, was a pirate leader from the Ottoman Empire.
[3] He reportedly was one of a number of barbary corsairs who helped seize the port from Venice and stayed on raiding Venetian and other merchant ships along the Dalmatian coast.
[4] His legend has also become synonymous with the famous Lambros Katsonis (1752-1804); a Greek naval admiral of the 18th century (born in Levadia, he joined the Orlov Revolt in 1770).
Due to Karalambro (Black Lambro)[4] deeds and actions against the Ottomans, the Sultan was forced to eliminate this foe.
For this act, Likaceni accepted the bounty made by the Sultan; with a reward of an official title for the one could defeat Lambro Katsonis.
