Victory in the ring

In 2015, Luciferno joined forces with Mephisto and his brother Ephesto to form the trio known as Los Hijos del Infierno ("The Sons of the Inferno"). This collaboration led them to victory in the Mexican National Trios Championship.

The art of the Lucha mask

For the past 34 years, Luciferno has not only been a Luchador, but also a skilled craftsman, making masks, robes, and capes. This passion for the craft has been passed down to his children, carrying on the legacy of the wrestling mask maker.
