Espíritu / Dark Espíritu (Spanish for "Spirit") is a Mexican Luchador (professional wrestler) who’s most well known for working as a heel (bad guy, referred to as Rudó in Spanish) character in Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA). Espíritu was original a member of the stable Los Vatos Locos, replacing Charly Manson when he left to form The Black Family in mid-2001. In November 2005 the Black Family asked Espíritu to join their group as they became part of La Secta Cibernética. Espíritu switched to the Black Family but parted amicably with the other Vatos Locos and at times teams with his old team mates Picudo, Nygma and Silver Cat. When La Secta became La Secta del Mesías Espíritu adopted the darker more "gothic" look that came with the shift in name.
Espíritu made his debt on May 10, 1993 after learning the trade from Bobby Lee and Herculés León. Espíritu worked for years on the Mexican independent circuit until he began working for Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) in the mid to late 90s.
In 2000 Espíritu was picked to replace Charly Manson in the new stable called Los vatos Locos (Spanish for "the Crazy Guys") as Manson was slowly being phased out of the group to form the Black Family in 2001. Espíritu joined Picudo, Nygma and May Flowers. Espíritu's first "Major" appearance with Los Vatos was at Triplemanía VIII on July 5, 2000. Los Vatos (in this case Espíritu, Picudo and Charly Manson participated in a Four corners elimination match that also included Perro Aguayo, Jr., El Alebrije, and Pathfinder, Team Japan (Naomichi Marufuji, Minoru Tanaka and Genki Horiguchi) and Los Vipers (Histeria, Psicosis II and Maniaco). Los Vatos was the first team eliminated. Espíritu's next major event showing was successful as he along with the rest of Los Vatos Locos defeated Los Spice Boys at Guerrera de Titanes 2000. in 2001 May Flowers left Los Vatos Locos to join a new group called "Los Exoticos" and was replaced by "Silver Cat". When Silver Cat joined the group there were now four men all with face paint, which led to the group adopting a KISS look, both in face paint and in their outfits. Espirtu's facepaint resembled Ace Frehley's "Spaceman" face paint. Los Vatos had won the Mexican National Atómicos Championship twice before Espíritu joined the group and they were chasing a third reign, feuding with the then chamoions Los Vipers. Their first major challenge was unsuccessful as Los Vipers won their Triplemanía IX encounter. But when the two teams clashed at Guerrera de Titanes 2001 on November 23, 2001 the team finally defeated Los Vipers (Psicosis II, Maniaco, Histeria, and El Mosco de la Merced) to win the Atómicos title.
