He freed Lambros from the Ioannina, holding Fotos hostage, and sent him to deliver the Souli to him.

Ali, full of anger and rage, threw himself in July 1792 against Souli with large forces.

He emerged as a great warlord and showed so much bravery that the Souliotes swore ""by the sword of Light"".

Unfortunately, Souli surrendered in 1803, Fotos with 2,000 Souliotes managed to pass to Parga and from there to Corfu, which was held by the French.

In 1809 he was assassinated in Corfu by agents of Ali Pasha and was buried in the monastery of Platytera, where his tomb is preserved to this day.

After the collapse of Ali and the new fall of Souli, he went down to Central Greece and took part in the Revolution at the head of the Souliotes.

He grew up in Corfu and in 1820 he returned with the Souliotes to Souli, where he was named captain at the age of just 19.

He broke up the troops of Reşid Mehmed Pasha in June 1825 at Missolonghi and entered the city.

On 25 March 1826, he starred in the battle of Kleisova, in which, at the head of 137 fighters in the church of the Holy Trinity, they repelled the Turkish-Egyptian troops that tried to occupy the islet, causing them terrible losses (about 3,500 Ottoman dead and wounded).

He took part with Karaiskakis in the battles of Attica and, after the death of his partner, he was entrusted with the chief strategy temporarily.
