History[]
The Fast and the Furious[]
Brian originally met Hector the night he competed against Dominic Toretto in their first race, Hector approaches Brian after he parks and introduces himself, explaining that he's hoping to begin racing legally and legitimately in the NIRA circuit. He later organizes the four-way race and acts as the unofficial grand marshal, holding the prize money consisting of each driver's entry fee and signaling the start of the race. Later, Hector and his team visit Brian at Racer's Edge with a list of parts for three Honda Civics, increasing Brian's suspicion that they may be the hijacking culprits his task force is looking for. That night, Brian breaks into Hector's garage while he's away and inspects the Civics they're working on finding that the tires don't match the tread marks left at the hijacking crime scenes.
As he exits Hector's garage he's confronted by Dom and Vince, claiming that he's spying on Hector to see what they're going to be racing at Race Wars 2001 so he'll have an edge to win.
Furious 7[]
After returning to Los Angeles with a clean record, Dominic took Letty to Race Wars 2014 to jog her memory. After Letty raced and wins, she was crowded by people chanting which caused her to feel uncomfortable and experience a surge of faded memories. When Hector grabbed her arm, she turns around and punched him, proceeding to drive away right after. Dom and Hector shared a few words about Letty and how Hector was glad to have him back. Hector is not seen again after this.
