There are a few people named Manuel Chavez III, but the one most discussed in QAnon circles is Manuel Chavez III, also known online as “Defango.”
He’s an internet personality and “notorious provocateur” who has claimed to be involved in the origins of QAnon, saying at times that he seeded the movement as a “troll” and that Justin McConney, a former Trump digital staffer, actually started QAnon, though none of these assertions are independently verified.
Defango’s claims and provocations have made him a recurring figure in internet conspiracies and alternative media, but there’s no solid public evidence connecting him to official government operations or a primary role in QAnon beyond his self-reported involvement and the online drama that often follows him.
If you’re looking for a different Manuel Chavez III—like the business executive who runs Mobile Infrastructure Corporation and Bombe Asset Management—that’s a completely separate person not associated with the QAnon stuff.
