Makhluto

Makhluto (; 1875–1956), born Smbat Boroyan (), also known as General Smbat, was an Armenian fedayee commander during the Armenian national movement. He was known for his battles alongside General Andranik Ozanian.

==Early Age== Smbat was born in Western Armenian city of Mush in 1875. When he was a child, his parents sent him to Saint Karapet Monastery to receive a formal education. During this time, Smbat became acquainted with the "Armenian Question". He became inspired by the stories he heard of Armenian guerrillas (feedayis) taking arms to defend their homeland. In the mid-1880s, Smbat and his friend Levon escaped from school to join the feedayis. He joined the Vardanantz group when aged 15. One of his first tasks was to move their bags and rifles because they did not initially trust him with a gun.
