Not much is known about El Fuerte's life outside of the ring. In fact even his real name is unknown for most. There is a strange rumour however that late at night outside of Roarhaven's stadium, a strange bashful tiger. Clad in a strange piece of El Fuerte merch serving as little censor, he can be seen trying to escape and return home, unseen and hopefully without getting caught. Even stranger however is that this encounter always happens every time Fuerte loses a match that night.

According to witnesses who have caught the strange man in the act, his full legal name is apparently Royce Torres, and he is a local and passionate fanboy of El Fuerte, having lost some kind of bet leading to his rather scandalous state.

Those who close to Fuerte however, know otherwise, and hope that once day Royce will be happy with his true self. One who doesn't need the mask.

About time I finally got a proper reference of Royce Torres. With a new generation of Fuerte surging though, it's about time you see the man behind the mask.
