Nikolaos Skoufas

Nikolaos Skoufas (Greek: Νικόλαος Σκουφάς) (1779 – July 31, 1818) - member of the Filiki Eteria ("Society of Friends"), a Greek conspiratorial organization against the Ottoman Empire.^[1]^[2]

Skoufas was born in 1779 in the village of Kompoti, Arta regional unit. He worked at various times as an apothecary, a commercial secretary and a hatter. Skoufas left as a merchant for Russia for business purposes. While there, he became acquainted with Athanasios Tsakalov and Emmanuil Xanthos. The three men came up with the idea of founding a secret organisation to prepare the ground for Greek independence. So, the Filiki Eteria was founded in 1814 in Odessa.^[2] Skoufas dedicated the rest of his life to the cause. For this purpose he went to Moscow but his ideas did not meet with the approval of many people of the local Greek community.

In 1818, the three partners moved to Constantinople to further their cause, but in July of that same year Skoufas fell ill and died.
