Anders Behring Breivik spent a year playing World of Warcraft role-playing game online

“The business idea was the sale of telephone services, but it didn’t
generate much income, and it was very quickly closed down,” Mr Holden
said of Behring Marketing, the first company Breivik registered.

It was only when Breivik set up an online operation selling fake diplomas in
around 2003, Mr Holden said, that he had managed to “to stockpile
considerable amounts of money”, which he laundered through banks in the
Baltic states.

The cash allowed him to move out of the communal flat he had been living in,
and into his own flat in Oslo.

But in 2006, around the time Breivik became absorbed in the World of Warcraft
game, that changed.

“The summer of 2006 represented a new change at several levels,” Mr
Holden said. “There was the sale of the false diploma company. He’s
also abandoned the ideal of being a financial supporter [of the anti-Islamic
movement], he then moved into his mother’s apartment in Oslo.”

Mr Holden portrayed Breivik’s progress from this point almost as an extension
of his role-playing, starting in 2009, when he bought 36 separate items from
eight countries to make his ‘Knights Templar’ uniform, including an
arm-patch brought from a UK supplier, sporting the words “Marxist
hunter England”, which Breivik altered to read “Marxist hunter
Norway”.

It was only after Breivik had acquired the uniform that he began to stockpile
the weapons and bomb-making materials that he used to carry out his massacre.

Mr Holden said would refer to “Justicar Andersnordic” again in the
trial, suggesting he may see a connection between the Justicar level in the
game, and the position of ‘Knight Justiciar’ Breivik claims to hold in real
life in the Knights Templar, a secret anti-Islamic organisation.

Police have found no evidence, either of the other cells Breivik claims exist
of his order, or of the inaugural meeting he claims to have attended.

“There is one subject, in particular that stands out,” Mr Holden
said as he launched his presentation. “Mainly that Breivik claims he
became a member of the Knights Templar in London at a meeting in April 2002.”

“His membership in this network is of great importance to how he led his
life,” Holden said. “One of its main aims is to deport Islam out of
Europe. In our opinion no such network exists.”
