Ethan Nordean, also known as Rufio Panman, is an American far-right political activist, convicted felon and a leader of the Proud Boys, an all-male neo-fascist organization that engages in political violence.

He played a prominent role in the January 6, 2021, attack against the U.S. Capitol, and was arrested four weeks later on federal criminal charges. In March 2021, a federal grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia indicted Nordean and three other Proud Boys members for conspiracy.[3] He was subsequently indicted on seditious conspiracy charges in June 2022, along with four other Proud Boy leaders, for his role in the attack.[4] In May 2023, Nordean was found guilty of seditious conspiracy and multiple other felonies; three other members of the Proud Boys were also convicted at trial.[5] On September 1, 2023, he was sentenced to 18 years in prison.[2]
