'''Emmanuel Xanthos''' was one of the three founders of the Friendly Society ([[Filiki Eteria]]) which prepared the ground for the Greek [[War of Independence]] from the Ottoman Empire.

Xanthos was born in [[1772]] on the island of [[Patmos]] in the [[Dodecanese]]. He migrated first to Trieste and later - [[1810]] - to Odessa, Russia for business purposes but, while there, became acquainted with [[Athanasios Tsakaloff]] and [[Nikolaos Skoufas]]. The three men came up with the idea of founding a secret organisation to prepare the ground for Greek independence and [[Filiki Eteria]] was born in [[1814]].

Xanthos became the treasurer and chief contact man of the organisation. His efforts to pursuade [[Ioannis Kapodistrias]] to take a leadership role in the organisation failed as the latter adopted a more realistic approach as to the chances of a Greek revolt against the Ottoman Empire. Xanthos, instead, offered the position to [[Alexandros Ypsilantis]] who started the [[Greek Revolution]] in Moldavia in January of [[1821]].

Xanthos spent the first years of the war ([[1821]] - [[1826]]) in the [[Peloponnese]] but later left for Wallachia where he stayed until [[1837]].

In [[1837]], Xanthos returned to [[Greece]], now an independent state. He was appointed to a minor administrative post but was shortly dismissed. In [[1845]], he published his memoirs about the [[Friendly Society]] - the only one of the three founders to do so.
He spent the rest of his life in poverty and died in [[Athens]] on [[November 28]], [[1852]].
