Ephesto

Ephesto (June 10, 1965) is a Mexican Luchador Enmascarado (Spanish for "Masked professional wrestler). Ephesto's real name has not been officially documented, a tradition in Mexican Lucha Libre where masked wrestlers' real names often are not a matter of public record. The wrestler currently known as Ephesto made his debut in 1982 and worked for almost 20 years as Pantera del Ring with limited success.

His current ring name "Ephesto" is derived from the Spanish name for Hephaestus, the Greek God of fire, Hefesto, in fact his name is sometimes spelled Hefesto in print sources. Ephesto is a member of the stable Los Hijos de Averno (Spanish for the sons of Hell) with Averno and Mephisto, with whom he currently holds the CMLL World Trios Championship, while also being a former CMLL World Light Heavyweight Champion.
