Moisés Neftalí Vargas (born November 28, 1982 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico) is a Mexican luchador, or professional wrestler, better known under the ring name Horus, sometimes spelled Höruz. He has also performed under the name Rey Salomón, Jr. after his father who for a while wrestled as Rey Salomón. Vargas is a third generation wrestler, grandson of José Ángel Vargas Sánchez, better known as lucha libre legend Ángel Blanco.
For years he worked for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) portraying a tecnico ("good guy") wrestling character, but left the promotion in 2013. Vargas originally worked under a mask, but was unmasked after losing a match in November 2013. He has also worked under the ring name Hijo de Faraón (Son of El Faraón) as well as a stint under the name El Hijo de Rey Misterio in Bolivia.
Neftali is a third generation wrestler, the grandson of José Ángel Vargas Sánchez, better known under the ring name Ángel Blanco ("White Angel") and the son of Salomón Meza who has worked both as Ángel Blanco, Jr. and Rey Salomón (King Solomon). He is the nephew of the second person to wrestle as Ángel Blanco, Jr. as well as the nephew of Hijo del Ángel Blanco I and II. He originally considered working under the name "El Niete de Ángel Blanco", or "The Grandson of Ángel Blanco", but felt that there were too many people already using the "Ángel Blanco" name. Through his exposure as a wrestler Horus does a lot of work for charities, especially children's hospitals and children's shelter in and around Mexico City.
