Georgios Karaiskakis, born Georgios Karaiskos (1782 – April 23, 1827), was a famous Greek military commander and a leader of the Greek War of Independence of 1821.
At a very early age he became a klepht in the service of Katsantonis, a famous local Agrafiote brigand captain. He excelled as a klepht, being agile, cunning, brave and reckless, and rose quickly through the ranks, eventually becoming a protopalikaro, or lieutenant.
