Multibronce's birth 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.
[In Mexico newspapers and magazines do not report masked wrestlers real names even if they could find out through research, nor do they show clear pictures where you can see most or all of the face of a masked wrestler, normally blurring it out.]
Personal life
While masked wrestlers in Mexico often do not reveal a lot about their personal life Multibronce has confirmed that he is the son of Hidalgo wrestler El Vengador and the brother of wrestlers Halcón Negro
[Not related to the Halcón Negro Jr. who wrestled in the 1990s] and Halcón Suicida as well as the cousin of Pequeño Ángel and female wrestler Chica Dinamita.
