History
El Caballero donned the luchador mask and started patrolling the streets of Seattle in September 2011. Initially joining up with Phoenix Jones and his RCSM, he performed over 200+ patrols throughout the city to keep their fellow citizens safe.
In late 2013, El Caballero split with Phoenix Jones over several issues including the mysterious disappearance of his class III Kevlar helmet that was, 6 months later, returned by 'Danger Dave', (a US military veteran and 'action' photographer/videographer).[1] Other issues had also been raised within the ranks of RCSM that stirred him to create a new team.
In November of 2013, El Caballero began patrolling with a new partner he met through one of his many fraternities, Free & Accepted Masonry: Dragon. According to Dragon, they first patrolled in the U-district of Seattle in November of 2013, later going on to officially form ECHO on December 16, 2013.[2] They continue to patrol and do charity work.
In 2022, he was featured in the podcast Superhero Complex, which highlighted the Seattle superhero community.
