Bengala is a Mexican 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. Bengala's 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. He previously wrestled for many years under the ring name Sombra de Plata (Spanish for "Silver Shadow"), but changed his ring persona in 2009, a move that is not acknowledged in storyline terms.
Bengala was born on September 17, 1978, in Nezahualcoyotl, Mexico State, the oldest son of professional wrestler Príncipe Odín (Prince Odin). His younger brothers are active wrestlers under the ring names Artillero, Super Comando, Príncipe Odín, Jr. and Babe Torres. His full name is not publicly known, which is traditionally the case in Lucha Libre when a wrestler has never been unmasked, but it is known that their last name is Torres Ramirez, revealed when his brother Daniel Torres Ramirez (Babe Torres) was unmasked. Due to the storyline that the Bengala character is to be a younger wrestler Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) uses the date September 17, 1982 instead, making him exactly 4 years younger in storyline terms.
He began his professional wrestling career under the ring name Príncipe Odín, Jr. ("Prince Odin, Jr.), an enmascarado ("masked wrestler") character based on his father Principe Odin, the same name his younger brother would take over. As Principe Odin, Jr. he worked primarily on the Mexican independent circuit from his debut in 1991 until around 1999.
