A self-proclaimed member of the far-right Proud Boys group who also believes in the QAnon conspiracy theory allegedly murdered his own brother with a sword.

Prosecutors say Buckey Wolfe, 26, killed his brother in Seattle on Sunday night by stabbing him in the head with a four-foot-long sword.

Wolfe, who prosecutors say exhibited signs of mental illness, called police himself after the killing and claimed he thought his brother was a lizard, The Seattle Times reported. When detectives arrived, he asked them if they saw other “lizards,” according to court filings. Wolfe has been charged with second-degree murder.

A Facebook page confirmed to belong to Wolfe by a local Seattle TV station is filled with references to Trump and other conservative figures, as well as the cartoon character Pepe the Frog, who has been embraced by the far-right.

Buckey Wolfe: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Buckey Wolfe is the Seattle man who was arrested after he confessed to killing his brother with a four-foot long sword, authorities say. Prosecutors say Wolf, 26, may have a serious mental illness and likely poses a serious threat to the community if he doesn’t stay behind bars. The 26-year-old often posted about his belief in Christian repentance but also held bizarre political theories about a class of reptiles who were holding the rest of the country down.

A judge agreed with prosecutors’ assessment and set Wolfe’s bail at one million dollars. He is currently in custody awaiting his next court date.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. Wolf Says He Believed His Brother Had Turned into a Lizard & That’s Why He Killed Him

Wolfe called 911 on Sunday evening to make an unusual confession. He told authorities that he had killed his brother James because, at the time of the murder, he believed that his brother was a lizard. “Kill me, kill me, I can’t live in this reality,” he told the dispatcher, according to court records obtained by the Seattle Times; Wolfe reportedly added, “God told me he was a lizard.”

1. Will he be able to wear the hat in prison?

Asking for Paul Manafort.

2. 'Lizard people'.

Yeah, he's angling for an insanity plea...

3. Am I the only one who feels totally creeped out by this guy?

[MicaelS]

5. No!!! n/t

6. If they are a member of a militia group like the Proud Boys, they're creepy.

4. Very fine people on both sides!

7. I know we aren't supposed to judge a person by appearances but...

That guy looks like he would commit that exact crime, that exact way, for that exact reason. Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover and sometimes stereotypes are correct.

If I had to illustrate such a person I would draw a person identical with this guy and without even seeing him.

8. I had a look at his FB page, and he just sounds like a mixed up kid.

Frankly I didn't find it at all creepy. He lost his brother, his Mom cut him out of her life, and he is probably suffering from mental illness. I hope he can get help, but he'll probably end up in the general pop at a prison somewhere.

9. He believes there is a class of reptiles that are holding the country down.

What's crazy about that?

Aren't turtles reptiles?
