He rebelled against the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos II before 1326. His aim was to govern the western parts of the empire and Macedonia independently. He plotted with his brothers-in-law, the governors of Melnik and Strumica and asked also his son-in-law Stefan Uroš III. Dečanski for help. They plundered together Macedonia and reached the river Strymon and the town Serres. Andronikos II. offered him the insignia of a καῖσαρ, in order to end the revolt. He received the embassy of Andronikos II. in Skopje. He accepted the offer and promised to keep the peace. He also wanted to go back to Thessalonike, but died soon after an illness in Skopje. Both Manuel Philes and Theodoros Metochites composed an epitaph for him.
