Pirata Morgan Jr. (born January 23, 1981) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, who is working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) portraying a tecnico ("Good guy") wrestling character. Pirata Morgan Jr.'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 is the son of professional wrestler Pedro Ortiz Villanueva, better known as Pirata Morgan, and not a fictional family relationship as it sometimes the case in Lucha Libre.
The wrestler known under the ring name Pirata Morgan Jr. is the son of Pedro Ortiz Villanueva, who is better known as Pirata Morgan. This reveals Pirata Morgan Jr.'s paternal last name as Ortiz, but his first name and maternal last name have not been revealed. He is the older brother of professional wrestler Hijo de Pirata Morgan and female wrestler Perla Negra ("Black Pearl"). He is the nephew of professional wrestlers Hombre Bala, Verdunga, and La Marquesa, and the cousin of wrestlers Rey Bucanero, Hombre Bala Jr., Corsario, Barba Roja, and India Sioux. In an interview Hijo de Pirata Morgan revealed that his father had three wrestling masks made in 1992, one for his cousin Rey Bucanero, who actually wrestled as "Hijo de Pirata Morgan" at one point, one for his younger brother and one for himself, even though he was still a child.
Pirata Morgan Jr. made his official in ring wrestling debut in 2000, at the age of 19 after training under both his father, Pirata Morgan, and his uncle Hombre Bala. While his official debut as Pirata Morgan Jr. took place in 2000 it is possible that he worked as a wrestler before than, under a more anonymous ring character that has never been revealed, but that has never been confirmed. His first major opportunity came in late 2007 when he worked for Xtreme Latin American Wrestling (XLAW) as part of their "XLAW XMAS" show in Tulancingo. He competed against Crazy Boy and Brazo de Plata Jr. in a match for the XLAW Junior Heavyweight Championship, a match that was won by Brazo de Plata Jr. as a result of the loss Pirata Morgan Jr. was forced to risk his hair against Crazy Boy in an impromptu lucha de apuestas match between the two. Crazy Boy won and Pirata Morgan Jr. was forced to have his hair shaved. Early in his career Pirata Morgan Jr. wore an eyepatch similar to one worn by his father instead of a traditional wrestling match, which meant that he lost his hair in two subsequent Luchas de Apuestas matches in 2003 and 2005 to Crazy Boy and Mike Segura respectively. In 2005 he began to work for International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) and adopted a more traditional wrestling mask. In IWRG he teamed up with Kaleth and Nemesis (his brother using a different ring name) to form a trio called Los Jinetes de Apocalipsis ("The Horsemen of the Apocalypse") for a number of IWRG shows. He was one of thirty wrestlers in the 2005 Rey del Ring (King of the Ring") tournament, a tournament won by Cerebro Negro.
