Flavianus Michael Malke was a Syriac Catholic bishop born in 1858 in the Ottoman Empire. Raised in a Syriac Orthodox family, he later joined the Syriac Catholic Church and served as the eparch of Gazarta. Throughout his priesthood, he worked extensively in the Tur Abdin region, assisting communities devastated by earlier massacres. He is remembered for his refusal to abandon his faith during the Assyrian genocide, which led to his execution in 1915.
