Knights Templar is a self-described far-right extremist and terrorist banner invoked by Anders Behring Breivik in connection with anti-Muslim, anti-multicultural, and anti-Marxist violent ideology. It was presented as part of a purported network also referred to as PCCTS and "Knights Templar Europe," with Breivik claiming a role as a "Justiciar Knight Commander." There is no independent verification in the available facts that this organization existed as a real, structured network beyond Breivik’s own assertions, and it is best understood as an extremist identity and propaganda construct associated with his attack planning and manifesto. Under this banner, Breivik promoted armed struggle, revolutionary violence, and eventual seizure of political and military control in Europe. The ideology combined ethnonationalism, anti-Muslim hatred, anti-feminism, and advocacy for deportations, executions of perceived opponents, and authoritarian restructuring of society. The material functioned as propaganda, recruitment messaging, and operational encouragement for far-right violence. Operationally, the actor context tied to this name includes extensive clandestine preparation for terrorism: use of cover entities and business pretexts, concealment of procurement activity, evidence purging, hidden equipment caches, and strict operational security. Documented behaviors include acquisition of weapons and tactical gear, procurement and processing of explosive precursor materials, experimentation with detonator compounds, logistics planning, and use of online platforms for propaganda dissemination, contact harvesting, and ideological networking. The activity reflects capabilities in initial access to extremist audiences through online outreach, reconnaissance and tradecraft for covert preparation, persistence in maintaining cover arrangements, exfiltration of contact data from social platforms, and defense evasion through secrecy and concealment. Known associated names and labels include PCCTS, Knights Templar Europe, and Knights Templar Norway. High-confidence attribution in the available facts centers on Anders Behring Breivik and his alias Andrew Berwick rather than on a demonstrably independent organization.
