Kancho Stanimirov Pingov was a Syaran officer who served in the Army of the Syaran Republic from 1904 to 1940. He is best known for commanding Army Group Lambda on the Tennaiite Front during the Siduri War.
An ethnic Galanian, Pingov was born to an aristocratic family with close ties to the Galanian Royal Families. He was comissioned into the Syaran Army in 1904 as a Junior Lieutenant, was promoted to Captain prior to the outbreak of the Syaran-Ruvelkan War, serving as a company commander before ending the war as a battalion commander. He commanded the 115th Infantry Regiment during the Divide War, figthing in the Alekso Line before being promoted to general by the end of the war. During the inter-war years Pignov assisted in the expansion of the Syaran Army, and was given command of Army Group Kappa for the invasion of Ruvelka. Afterwards he was given command of Army Group Theta for the invasion of Tennai. In 1935 he took command of Army Group Lambda on the Tennaiite Front, a position he held until the withdrawal of Allamunnika from the war. He and his forces were then withdrawn back to Ruvelka for the Liberation of Ruvelka. He retired from the army in 1940.
Pingov has the distinction of commanding more army groups than any other Field Marshal during the Siduri War. A capable administrator, Pingov managed his forces through a wide variety of situations and conflicts and earned the admiration of many of his troops for his leadership style, although many Syaran commanders considered him unimaginative and cautious. Pingov has the distinction of the eldest Syaran Field Marshal, passing away in 1974 at the age of 93.
