Héctor Ricardo was Marina's only friend outside of the convent for a long time. He lives with his mother in Santa Teresa and holds the title "Town Drunk".

History

Hector is known as the village drunk but is befriended by Marina. She doesn't tell him her deepest secret but confides in him most of her problems.

Hector is approached by Crayton in an attempt to show Marina that he is an ally, however she mistakes him for a Mogadorian and runs away. Later when the Mogadorians attack, Crayton has Héctor meet them with a truck where he drives them to the lake.] but is ultimately killed by a Piken.

Death

He participates courageously in the Battle of Santa Teresa. He was shot, and then killed by a Piken whilst knocked into the lake. In the battle he killed many Mogadorians, and successfully guarded Marina's Chest until his death.

Relationships

Marina

Héctor met Marina when she was 13. He is often visited by her at the pub, when she feels upset, and he can almost always make her feel better. He always tells Marina that he will keep her safe. At the end of The Power Of Six, Héctor drives the escape vehicle for Marina, Ella and Crayton. Marina obviously cares about him a lot, referring to him as her best friend on many occasions and gets into a fight with Gabriella García and her posse when they insult him. She also heals his mother, Carlotta, from a critical illness to make his life easier. She was deeply saddened when he died.

Mother

It is unclear the relationship he has with his mother, though he cares greatly for her and spends most of his time caring for her.

Quotes

He always seems to have a good quote on hand to tell Marina. Here are a few:

• "The only limits we have for tomorrow are the doubts we have for today."
• "If you ever know a man who tries to drown his sorrows, kindly inform him his sorrows know how to swim."
• "My experiences have taught me that things rarely improve with a simple change of scenery."
• "The key to change is letting go of fear."
