César Baltazar de Lucio Valencia (born October 21, 1970) is a semi-retired Mexican Luchador, or professional wrestler best known under the ring name Karloff Lagarde Jr. Despite what his ring name might suggest, he is not the son of Karloff Lagarde, but his nephew. Lucio is a former CMLL World Welterweight Champion and Mexican National Welterweight Champion. He currently makes limited appearances for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) in Mexico.
César Lucio grew up admiring his uncle, professional wrestler Karloff Lagarde who was one of the top names in Mexico in the 1960s and 1970s. When Lucio decided to turn professional he was trained by his uncle as well as Ham Lee, El Canek, Ray Mendoza, Villano I, Leopardo Negro, Yamato and Gran Hamada due to Lagarde's connections in the wrestling world. His uncle also gave him permission to use the ring name "Karloff Lagarde Jr." Lagarde made his debut in 1992 and soon began working for the Universal Wrestling Association. On December 14, 1993 Lagarde defeated Celestial for the UWA World Welterweight Championship. Lagarde held the title until May 25, 1995 where he lost it to Hijo del Santo. In 1995 the UWA Closed and Lagarde moved on to Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA) for a brief stop, teaming with Mr. Condor and Perro Silva losing to Las Gemas del Ring (Brillante, Diamante and Zafiro) at Triplemanía III-B.
