**Personality:** Nunca Muerto comes from a long line of luchadores, and does everything in his power to keep the tradition alive. He loves a good fight, and always gives it his all - unless it comes to facing off against new blood at the Combat Zone.

## Backstory

### **Pre-War Life**

Nunca Muerto was born on August 23rd, 2044, in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The eldest of three children, Nunca belonged to a long line of Lucha Libre wrestlers. His father, Noe Muerto, was a famous luchador, who was loved and respected by many. Much of his wealth was donated to help fund school, libraries, hospitals, and other facilities to help the people of his city.

By the time Nunca was 8 years old, his father decided to make a name for himself in the land of opportunity, America. Arriving in Boston, Noe quickly worked his way up the ranks, establishing his own wrestling gym in the process. When not assisting his mother in raising his siblings, Nunca would often attend his father's matches. Analyzing the moves of both his father and the American wrestlers, he was a quick study.

Showing great interest at an early age, Nunca insisted on training with his father, asking for permission to follow in his footsteps. His father agreed, but only as long as he kept good grades in school, and all chores at home were completed. As proud as his father was of his son wanting to carry on the family tradition, education and family were very important to him.

Nunca's technical abilities impressed many who would train at the gym, including his own father. He was considered a prodigy.
