Overview
Formed: 
January 1, 2017

The Fraternal Order of Alt Knights is a violent right-wing group led by white supremacist Kyle Chapman, who uses the alias "Based Stickman." The group was formed as a tactical arm of the Proud Boys and is known for accelerating violence against counterprotestors at right-wing events and rallies. In November 2020, FOAK officially split from the Proud Boys after Chapman was unsuccessful in taking over the group from its current leader, Enrique Tarrio.
