After spending nearly twenty years as a popular Mexican wrestling star, Luis Braga found himself pursued by assassins in the employ of El Disenador.  Having no idea why they wanted him dead, Braga fled to Spain where he lay low for several months.  After drinking heavily one night he agreed to try his luck as a matador and the following day he walked into a stadium where he faced a snorting, seething black bull.

Reyerta was an instant hit.

He spent equal time entertaining the crowds directly with jokes and acrobatic tricks, as he did actually fighting and evading the bull.  When it came to the kill he was so caught up in the cheers that he gave it no mind, plunging the sword deep into the bull's neck.  He hadn't realised it, but Braga had moved from being a wrestling sensation where the fanfare was just as important as the duelling, to being a paid killer (of bulls).

When El Disenador's killers caught up with him he was ready, and faced them down, killing them without remorse.  His manager heard about the fight and offered Braga more work as a bull fighter and enforcer for a local gangster.  Braga wasn't sure what else he could do, and returning to Mexico wasn't really an attractive option, so he agreed and began a career in bodyguarding and enforcing.  This led to conflicts with Golden Arrow and an unfortunate accident which resulted in his employers becoming lobotomised by a mad scientist's experiment - something that is embarrassing for Braga and something he rarely talks about.

Braga moved east and soon fell in with Rumpelstiltskin and GNOME where he has remained, often acting as a colourful adversary for law enforcement officers and the occasional uber who crosses the organisation's path.

Reyerta is full of life (or full of jumping beans!) although he is not as sprightly as he once was.  Approaching forty, he has matured a little, and has begun to make long term plans rather than rely on binge drinking and the allure of bright lights and applause.  He hopes that Rumpelstiltskin's plan to eradicate the surface world doesn't affect the whole world, but has dreams of living in a society or land where only small people hold the power.  Even though he has been successful and admired in his home country and Spain, he still feels apart from the rest of society - that is until he moved to Cavern City.

He isn't sure exactly why, but he is attracted to Thumbelina, and the two duel verbally at every chance they have.  Braga is old enough to be her father (almost) but his passions are inflamed by her arrogance and biting sarcasm.

Reyerta is a seasoned performer, a veteran of the Mexican Wrestling circuit.  He is fast and strong, and often goes into a kind of berserker trance when in the ring (although this is mostly for show).  He abhors weaponry and relies on his fists and feet to deliver beatings, although he has accepted an armoured costume from GNOME.

He is powerfully built and stands at 4'7".  He has curly black hair which has a silver streak at the front - something which has sprung up in the past few years.  He curls his moustache with excessive amounts of oil and often gives a kind of 'slippery' impression to others.
