Los Hijos del Averno (Spanish for "The Sons of Hell") was the most well known name of aMexicanprofessional wrestling group, called astable in the MexicanLucha Libre (Professional Wrestling) promotionConsejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). The group was originally formed in 2006 under the nameLa Triadad del Terror ("The Triad of Terror") and has also been briefly known asLos Jauria del Terror ("the Hounds of Terror"). In 2015 the group was renamedLos Hijos del Infierno ("The Sons of the Inferno") and currently consists ofMephisto,Ephesto andLuciferno and works as arudo (term used for wrestlers who portray the "Bad guys") faction. The group was led byAverno, whom the group was named after, until Averno left CMLL in 2014.
The characters ofAverno andMephisto were originally created to team up withEl Satánico to form the teamLos Nuevo Infernales ("The New Infernals") in 1999, discarding their previous ring identities ofRencor Latino andAstro Rey, Jr. respectively.[1] On Junu 23, 2002 Satánico, Averno and Mephisto defeated the trio ofMr. Niebla,Olímpico andSafari to win the Mexican National Trios Championship. Los Infernales would only hold the Trios title for approximately 3 months before losing it to La Familia de Tijuana (Damián 666,Halloween andNicho el Millonario).[2] The loss led to a storyline where Averno and Mephisto would split off from Satánico, with Mephisto beating his "creator" for theCMLL World Welterweight Championship to signify the total disintegration of the group.[3]
In 2006 Averno and Mephisto joined up withEphesto, a new ring character for the former Safari, and together the three formed a group known asLa Triada del Terror ("The Triad of Terror"). Averno and Mephisto would hold theCMLL World Tag Team Championship a total of three times while working under theTriadad del Terror moniker.[4][5][6]La Triada would be involved in an extensive feud with CMLL's toptecnico ("good guy")Místico both in individual and team competition. The group was briefly known asLosKu Klux Klan, complete with robes and hoods (albeit black instead of white), but the name was only used for a few shows.
The groupLos Perros del Mal ("The Bad Dogs") had formed in 2004 and over the yearsLa Triada del Terror had formed a loose alliance with the group, but in February 2008 after Averno and Mephisto won their third CMLL World Tag Team Championship the two of them became official members, abandoning theLa Triadad name altogether. Ephesto would join up withÚltimo Guerrero'sLos Laguneros group, but ended up turning on the group later on and while he reunited with Averno and Mephisto he was never officially a member ofLos Perros del Mal. In October 2008Los Perros del Mal leaderPerro Aguayo, Jr., along with a number of members of his group left CMLL to form their ownPerros del Mal promotion.[7]
WhenLos Perros del Mal left the promotion Averno, Mephisto, Ephesto and the remainingPerros del Mal membersEl Terrible andEl Texano, Jr. formed a new group. The group was initially calledLos Jauria del Terror ("the Hounds of Terror") but then settled onLos Hijos del Averno ("The Sons of Hell"). In February 2009 CMLL held a press conference where it was announced thatMisterioso, Jr. was joining the group, only for him to leave the group to become the third member ofPoder Mexica instead.[8] During Averno's feud withLa MascaraLos Hijos used low rankedInquisidor to trick La Mascara as he wore Averno's mask for a couple of appearances, but never officially included Inquisidor in the group. In April 2011 El Terrible and El Texano, Jr. split fromLos Hijos del Averno to form a new faction withRey Bucanero calledLa Fuerza TRT ("The TRT Power").[9] On April 28, 2014, CMLL announced Averno's departure from the promotion.[10]
Mephisto and Ephesto continued to be billed as "Los Hijos del Averno" after Averno left CMLL but were in search of a third member to complete the trio. At first they teamed up withHechicero for a number of matches, but later introducedEl Hombre Sin Nombre ("The Man with no name") as a potential member. El Hombre worked with Mephisto and Ephesto for a number of months before he was finally given a ring name, introducing him as Luciferno with a mask and ring gear resembling a devil.[11] After the introduction the trio was renamedLos Hijos del Infierno ("The Sons of the Infierno")[11]
