Oficial Spartan is the current ring name of Victor Manuel Montés (born July 29, 1975 in Guerrero, Mexico), who is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) as a part of the Los Oficiales Elite group alongside Oficial Factor and Oficial Rayan. Montés previously worked under a number of other ring names including Omega and Arlequín Rojo, but they are not publicly acknowledged as the enmascarado character is promoted as a separate entity from Montés' previous characters as is often the case when a Mexican wrestler adopts a new masked character.
Victor Manuel Montés began his professional wrestling career in 1990 and worked under various enmascarado (masked) characters such as Halcon de Fuego ("Fire Falcon"), Guerrero Atomico ("Atomic Warrior") and Cepillito ("Brush").
In 2002 Super Mega left IWRG to work for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), leaving Los Megas (Mega and Ultra Mega) without a third man. Victor Montés was repackaged, given a new mask and suit that matched the other Megas and made his debut as "Omega". Not long after the replacement Los Megas won the IWRG Intercontinental Trios Championship from NOZAWA, Takemura and Masada. In 2003 IWRG introduced a group designed to be the "archenemy" of Los Megas in the form of Los Comandos (Comando Mega, Comando Gama and Comando Omega), who were dark and destructive to counter Los Megas' bright, kid-friendly personas. The groups developed their rivalry for the better part of a year, escalating the tension between the two groups. Los Comandos scored a major victory in the feud when Comando Gama defeated Omega in a Lucha de Apuesta, or "Bet match" where the loser was forced to unmask. Omega removed his mask and subsequently was only used sporadically. The storyline between the two factions saw Mega and Ultra Mega gain revenge and "win" the feud by defeating Comando Mega and Comando Gama in a Lucha de Apuesta, mask vs. mask match on June 6, 2004, a match that was considered the end of the Megas Vs Comandos storyline. Following the culmination of the feud Los Megas began to fade away, being used less and less by IWRG, with long stretches of the ring characters being inactive. With two of the three members unmasked the concept lost its appeal and was quietly abandoned by the end of 2004. IWRG did not even bring Los Megas back to lose the IWRG Intercontinental Trios Championship that they held, instead opting to vacate the championship and hold a tournament to determine the new champions.
