    Welcome. I will keep a watch for anything helpful to your quest. I presume you have looked through sources such as:

    Following up on pseudonyms tends to be difficult, unless a piece of luck arises - these characters were often 'larger than life' and could mask their pasts, for example:
    393 - An extremely rare S.O.E. 'Force 133' clandestine operations M.M....
    If you could give more information, say known or approximate colleagues, locations, dates and events and similar, it will perhaps help 'the cognoscenti' help you.

    Thank you for your time.What I do know is that he had a direct relationship with certain people on the side of the Greek resistance and then with ELAS.specifically with Kostas Karagiorgis (Gyftodemos)
    The purpose of both was to conceal material warfare.

    Thank you for your time.I've checked all this already.It's not what I'm looking for.The name I mentioned before was directly related to the lieutenant general later of the ELAS guerrillas Κostas Karagiorgis aka Giftodimos
