A matador de toros (lit. "killer of bulls", from Latin mactator, killer, slayer, from mactare, to slay) is considered to be both an artist and an athlete, possessing great agility, grace, and co-ordination.
The style and bravery of the matador is regarded as being, at least, equally important as to whether or not he actually kills the bull.Because of the decorations and elaborateness of the Matadors costume, the Spanish call the outfit as traje de luces, meaning the "Suit of Lights"
The sport of bullfighting as practised in Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Peru, France and other countries influenced by Spanish culture.
French matadors will often use the battle cries "ole" (in France) "allons" as means to antagonize and aggravate the bull. Such a battle cry is said to instill in the chosen bull such a feverish sense of anxiety that the spectacle will become much more fiercely contested.
The codename "Operation Matador" was used no less than six times by various armies and intelligence agencies.
