This is the man who's conquered a castle in the German countryside, appointed himself King and now rules over 5,000 loyal "subjects".
Self-appointed Peter the First, who went by Peter Fitzek in a past life, claims to be the ruler of the "Königreich Deutschland" (Kingdom of Germany) - which mints its own money, has a flag, and even prints its own ID cards.
The self-appointed monarch was also sworn in to the regal post with a coronation, complete with orb and sceptre, around 10 years ago.
King Peter is one of 21,000 Germans who intelligence agencies have branded a "Reichsbürger" (Citizen of the Reich).
The Reichsburger is an umbrella term for several different groups, most of them " conspiracy theorists " who want nothing more than to take Germany back to its pre-war feudal roots.
Their main problem is with Germany's modern government in Berlin, and they're so fed up with the democratically-elected lawmakers that they refuse to adhere to its laws.
The movement gained international attention this week when cops carried out a three-thousand officer operation to arrest 25 people.
Among those seized was an aristocrat ringleader, Heinrich XIII, a direct descendent of Germany's pre-war rulers who was part of an armed plot to take control of the Bundestag (Parliament) building in the capital.
King Peter told the BBC that his kingdom's resistance is not a violent one, but that he deplores the "fascist and satanic" German state.
"I have no interest in being part of this fascist and satanic system," he told the broadcaster.
King Peter - who wants to start his own TV show to reach more subjects - claims he had no choice other than to start his own empire after he tried and failed to be elected mayor and as a member of parliament.
He has already fallen foul of the law on several occasions.
King Peter has a number of convictions for driving offences and even went to prison for allegedly embezzling his citizens' money - a charge that was later quashed.
The local intelligence agency has been keeping a close eye on the kingdom and its ruler for almost two years and consider it a threat.
Conspiracy theories and extreme right-wing ideology have taken hold in Germany over recent years as Covid lockdowns and vaccination mandates fuelled fears of governments encroaching on civil liberties.
Covid-19 appears to have helped bolster the number of King Peter's subjects, he claims.
King Peter added that he's bought tracks of land across the German countryside to accommodate his new citizens.
All subjects are excused from paying tax, won't send their kids to school, and will be granted treatment in the kingdom's own healthcare system - all of which are illegal in Germany.
Benjamin, who is responsible for PR, recently moved to the kingdom with his young family.
He told the BBC: "The kingdom can provide everything that you need in daily life. Food and nourishment, social security, all these systems are there."
"People who think for themselves today will often be condemned as conspiracy theorists," says Benjamin.
"But it's a fact that these are often the people who stay up at night thinking about problems, not just their own but those of society and politics."
