Charalambos Malis was a Cypriot militant of the Greek Revolution of 1821 and a stater of the free Greek state.

Life Story
Males came from Cyprus and pre-revolutionary was established in Constantinople where he worked as a teacher. In October 1819 he was initiated into the Philiki Society by Papaflessa and during the late 1820 he left Constantinople and went down to Greece with the Peloponnesian archimandrite, of which he was a close associate.

During the First National Assembly of Epidaurus he was appointed to the post of Secretary General of the Ministry of Religion and Law (justice), under Joseph Androusis, while he was reported to have accepted instead of salary a proof of due amount as the revolutionary state was unable to pay him. In June 1823 he was appointed secretary of Zaimi, who had undertaken the creation of a camp near the Ottoman-occupied Patras. In August 1824 he completed his service on Zaimis' side, managing to distinguish himself for his contribution. Since then he remained at the seat of the revolutionary government in Nafplio where he was used in various state positions. Through his position he tried to persuade the Greek government to organize a campaign for the liberation of Cyprus and also to exploit for the benefit of the Greek Revolution, the revolutionary climate that prevailed at the same time in Lebanon, but eventually opposed the organisation of the failed campaign in Lebanon, which aimed, among other things, at looting Syria's coasts.

After the liberation of Greece and the creation of the Greek state, the Committee for Publications of the Race ranked Charalambos Mallis in the fourth class of fighters and recognized his daughter a sum of money of 3400 grosies.
