Initially, the group's name was Grivas Military Organization' (Greek: Στρατιωτική Οργάνωσις Γρίβα) and in March 1943 it was renamed, adopting the letter of the Greek alphabet chi. X was heavily involved in the persecution of non-monarchists during and after the occupation and considered communism to be its principal or even sole enemy.
