Magnus (born February 17, 1993) is a Mexican reality TV personality and luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a tecnico ("good guy") wrestling character. Magnus's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico when their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans.[2] His ring name was inspired by Magnus Maximus, a Roman Emperor (335–388)[1]
