Argenis is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, who is working in the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA). His ring name is the Latin word for Silver. Argenis is the son of retired professional wrestler Dr. Karonte and has wrestled as Dr. Karonte, Jr. in the past, as well as Hijo del Dr. Karonte (Spanish for "Son of Dr. Karonte"). Argenis' real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. His patronymic surname is known though, as his father Manuel Almanza wrestled as Dr. Karonte, he was unmasked and revealed his full name per Lucha libre traditions. He is the brother of professional wrestlers Místico, Astro Boy, Argos, and Mini Murder Clown.
Argenis made his professional wrestling debut in 2006, working as "Dr. Karonte, Jr.", named after his father. He would also work as "Hijo del Dr. Karonte", neither gimmick led to much success. By 2007 he began working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) as a Rudo (heel or "bad guy") After he left CMLL he complained to several magazines that he felt that his brother Místico should have asked CMLL to give him more opportunities. After leaving CMLL he began working for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG), but again met only with limited success, even after he became a tecnico (face or "good guy").
