MAD NICK GREGER AKA SINAN AL-RASHID BEY
Nick Greger aka "Mad Nick", born in 1977, was one of the most militant right-wing extremists in Germany and was once considered one of the most dangerous men in Europe. He spent 13 years in the right-wing scene, including 6 years in various prisons. In 2003 he left the right-wing extremist movement and published not only his autobiography entitled "Lost Years" but also a number of novels in the following years.
Nick Greger received the nickname "Mad Nick" in 2004 by the Shankill district community in Belfast, Northern Ireland, during the second loyalist paramilitary feud in which his friend Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair, Brigadier of the Ulster Freedom Fighters West Belfast Brigade, and his die-hard Loyalists were forced into exile in Scotland after two dozen men were killed in the violent power struggle over the city that rocked the entire Ulster region.
The house of Adairs exiled family was attacked with gunfire after the bloody feud. "Mad Nick" Greger ultimately recruited a bodyguard unit to protect Adairs`s family while Adair himself was in jail. The mission resulted in "Mad Nick" being banned from entering the United Kingdom of Great Britain for five years. A few years later, the five-year entry ban became a lifetime ban.
In 2007, "Mad Nick" co-founded the Mad Nick Society (MNS) with Lonnie Earl Johnson, a Texas death row inmate. (One branch of the Brotherhood was at one time known as "The Order 777").
"Mad Nick" spent the following decade in crisis and war zones in Africa, the Caucasus and the Middle East, where he devoted himself to numerous charitable projects, stood up for persecuted minorities and acted as a mediator between conflicting parties, as well as tracking down wanted criminals and missing persons .
In 2016, a second nickname was added to "Mad Nick". Several Palestinian freedom fighter factions added the name of "Sinan" to "Mad Nick" to honor him for his support and actions for Palestinian communities all across the Middle East. The Arab friends of "Mad Nick" therefore named him after Raschid ad-Din Sinan, who before and at the time of the third crusade was the most famous and dangerous leader of the Ismaili sect, known in Syria as "the Assassins".
Also in 2016, an Egyptian imam added the title "Al-Rashid Bey" when Mad Nick questioned the Trinity doctrine after having exposed a massive corruption case within the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem. "Mad Nick" has since been known as "Sinan al-Rashid Bey".
In June 2020, "Mad Nick" took on a mission on behalf of the father of the Australian girl Elly Warren, who was murdered in Mozambique, after all official investigative authorities had failed for four years to bring any result in the murder case.
"Mad Nick" used his many years of experience and contacts that he gained on his numerous missions on the African continent and he tracked downthe prime suspect in the Elly Warren murder case just two days after taking on the contract.
Since then, "Mad Nick" has been known in the international media landscape as a extraordinary and unique private detective.
"Mad Nick" Greger aka "Sinan al-Rashid Bey" continues to be a relentless fighter for justice and human rights, and he does so using his own unique methods and skills that he learned and combined from different cultures and spiritual influences.

JOHNNY "MAD DOG" ADAIR
MENTOR AND CLOSED FRIEND OF MAD NICK
Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair, one of Mad Nick's longest and closest friends. Johnny Adair was brigadier of a Northern Irish Protestant militia and Mad Nick's best man at his wedding in Africa ...
... For over a decade now, Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair has turned his back on politics ...
... There isn't enough space on this page to tell his story, so we'd best let one of Mad Nick's longtime and closest friends have his say through his own book:
In addition to the paramilitary training by a former officer of the famous and equally infamous and now disbanded 32nd Battalion of the South African Army, with whom Mad Nick has been close friends for nearly 25 years, it was Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair who most shaped Mad Nick's strategic and tactical skills in his earlier years.

NICOLAI LILIN
Nicolai Lilin, a highly esteemed and extraordinary gentleman whose book Siberian Education inspired several aspects of the Mad Nick Society`s code of conduct.

Called the Urki, this group engaged in robbery and theft for decades, primarily on the Trans-Siberian railway lines. Under Stalin, their relatives were deported west from Siberia to Transnistria, where they continued their criminal activities. One of the unwritten laws of the now legendary Urki is the ban on having any contact with state institutions.
The book has been translated into 19 languages and distributed in 24 countries, and has reached the interest of cinema. It became a movie directed by Gabriele Salvatores, starring John Malkovic as Grandfather Kuzja.
In April 2010 he released his second novel, "Free Fall" (or "Sniper").

LOUIS FERRANTE
Louis Ferrante, a truly extraordinary gentleman whose writings and knowledge are highly esteemed by Mad Nick.
As a teenager, Ferrante made his reputation as a gang leader. Ferrante and his crew hijacked delivery trucks and drove them to drop-offs all over New York, reselling the merchandise. Ferrante gained the attention of the infamous Gambino crime family. In the early nineties, Ferrante's growing Mafia connections enabled him to commit some of the most lucrative robberies in US history, all by the age of twenty-one.
When the law caught up with Ferrante, he wrote a rap song defending infamous Gambino Family Boss John Gotti, and hired controversial civil rights attorney William Kunstler to defend him. Indictments came from the Secret Service, the Nassau County Organized Crime Force, and the FBI. By 1994, Ferrante faced a life sentence in prison. He pleaded guilty and served nearly a decade in various maximum security prisons after refusing to cooperate against former associates of the Gambino family.
During his incarceration, Ferrante read his first book. He subsequently immersed himself in the study of history and literature. He also learned the art of writing, and penned an historical novel, Aleesa, set in the antebellum South.
Ferrante successfully appealed his own conviction from his prison cell, a case that is cited in courtrooms across the country.
Ferrante's memoir, "Unlocked: a Journey From Prison to Proust," published by Harper Collins Publishers, tells the story of his meteoric rise in the Mafia, his time in prison, and how he had reinvented himself as a writer.
Furthermore, Ferrante became an award-nominated television host, who also works behind the camera. Ferrante's television series, Inside the Gangsters' Code premiered on February 27, 2013. Each hour-long episode follows Ferrante as he explores different gang cultures around the world. Inside the Gangsters' Code aired on Discovery Channel in over 195 countries and in multiple languages. Ferrante wrote, hosted, narrated, and co-produced the series.

SHI HENG YI
Shi Heng Yi is yet another extraordinary gentleman and a popular Shaolin Master whose teachings have had a major influence on Mad Nick's mindset in recent years. Mad Nick was once quoted as saying, "The teachings of Shi Heng Yi became part of the foundation upon which I carry out my mission to serve freedom and justice."
Shi Heng Yi was born in Germany to Asian parents. While growing up, he was drawn to martial arts. At the young age of 4, Shi was enrolled by his father at the nearby Shaolin Temple in Kaiserslautern. It was here, at the Shaolin Kung Fu School, that he began to practise Kung Fu and fell in love with the art, which also involved mental and physical training and behavioural development. Later, he was also drawn to Qi Gong and Shaolin Rou Quan.
In 2001, Shi became a student of Shaolin masters Da Shi Yanlin, Master Shi Yan Bao, Master Shi Yan Xin, Shi Yan Fei and Shi Ya Hai.
In 2011, after completing his studies, Shi wanted to build a Shaolin temple in Otterberg and found a site where he wanted to build the temple. Although the land was for sale, he could not afford it as he had just finished his studies. Fortunately, a bank granted him a loan and he founded the Shaolin Temple Europe in Otterberg.
Until 2017, Shi struggled financially to make the temple profitable, but thanks to the monastery's growing popularity, he was able to turn the tables.
As of 2023, he serves as the Executive Headmaster of Shaolin Temple Europe in Otterberg, Kaiserslautern, Germany.

William was one of Mad Nick's closest friends and together they were an unbeatable team for many years.
Much of the footage of Mad Nick's travels and actions in Africa only exists because William filmed the trips with his camera.
Both men sat together in the mud and jungle during the rainy season in the no man's land of the Congolese jungle, as well as in the most notorious bars of Williams homeland.
William's hospitality was exceptional as was his overall character.
William was a fearless and brave man who feared no danger and also knew how to have a good time with his friends.
William was a true old-school adventurer and had exceptional business acumen.
William was also a member of the "special operation unit" of our in the meanwhile disbanded division, The Order 777.
In one of Mad Nick's next books he will devote a chapter to William and report on some of their journeys and daring actions.
William will be greatly missed by our community.

MAD NICK AT WORK IN AFRICA

... A settlement with several houses was built on the empty land, a well was drilled, palm oil and palm wine production was started, a rice field was grown, a banana plantation was established and nuts were grown to ensure a regular income for the settlers ...
... The colony operates since then.

... ferry comes too late every time and is always broken ...
... and an infuriated Mad Nick.

The cowardly opponents placed a Black Mamba in the stairwell outside Mad Nick's front door. In a careless moment, Mad Nick stepped onto the snake and was bitten on the left leg by the mamba. However, the Black Mamba was killed in fight and afterwards skinned by Mad Nick, who survived the venomous snake's bite.

MAD NICK THE ART LOVER
A lesser known fact about Mad Nick is that he is not only a well-known lover of literature and became the author of several books himself ...
... but that he is above all a lover of art, he visits art exhibitions whenever possible and has always admired paintings and canvases.
"A canvas on which someone paints something is worth more than a white canvas. There shoultn't be any higher demands. Compared to a canvas, a person's life is exactly the same, because every man has the choice to paint the white canvas of his existence either with simple shades of grey, or instead to make his way in rich, powerful colors. If someone fails in life despite all efforts then it should at least be a colorful failure and not a grey failure." - Quote from Mad Nick's book The Human against the Machine
