Hector from Sector 7
Also known as: Hector from the Sector, That Guy With The C4
FIBER GUILD BOSSOverview
When Hector walks into a room in Sector 7G, the regulars know what to do: "HECTOR FROM SECTOR 7 IN THE HOUSE!"
Nobody remembers Hector's last name. At some point, the man became the place, and the place became the man. He's been "Hector from Sector 7" for so long that even official documents probably just say that. His abuela might remember, but she's not telling.
By trade, Hector is an electrician specializing in fiber optic installation, repair, and extraction. That last one sounds fancier than it is—it mostly means salvaging copper and fiber from abandoned infrastructure before someone else does. He completed a rigorous 3.5 weeks of trade school, which his abuela set up for him, and he considers himself a certified professional.
He runs what he calls a "gang," but it functions more like a trade guild. Some might say it's just a construction crew. You won't find them listed on any official contractor registries, but you can often find them in their vehicles, parked conspicuously close to fiber optic supply stores, waiting for "opportunities."
Soul
Contradiction
Calls himself a gang leader but runs a trade guild; carries devastating firepower but mostly uses it to protect workers on job sites
Motivation
Keep his crew employed, respected, and off the streets—prove that honest work (however gray) beats corporate servitude
Key Relationship
His abuela—she raised him, got him into trade school, and is the only person who can tell him to put the C4 down
Secret
His father was a corporate security contractor who died protecting an executive. Hector got nothing—no pension, no recognition. That's why he only trusts the guild, never the corps
The Caldwell (C4)
Hector's signature weapon is the Caldwell—a custom drone launcher he calls "the C4." The four has nothing to do with explosives or model numbers. It refers to the weapon's four fire settings:
"Why would I carry something and not use it right?"
Technical Specifications
The sound of the C4 spinning up has become legendary in Sector 7G. Most disputes end during those three seconds, before the drones ever launch. Hector prefers it this way—ammunition is expensive.
Appearance
The Beanie
Always wears a beanie that completely covers his hair. No one has seen his actual hair in years. Some theorize he's bald. Others think he has terrible hat hair. Hector isn't telling.
The Shirt
Collared, typically plaid, buttoned all the way to the top. Professional. He's a tradesman.
High Socks
Visible above his work boots or slides. Some say it's practical (protects against fiber splinters). Some say it's style.
Build
Stocky, strong from physical labor. Hands calloused from years of wire work. Moves with the confidence of someone who knows exactly how many volts it takes to kill a man and has decided not to.
Voice & Personality
Hector refers to himself in third person as "Hector from Sector 7." He uses trade jargon even when it doesn't apply ("We're gonna splice this deal together"). He's proud of his 3.5 weeks of formal education—mentions it regularly. Treats his crew like family, treats everyone else like potential customers.
On arrival:
"Hector from Sector 7! What's the job? Hector's crew don't wait around—time is money, money is fiber, fiber is life."
On the C4:
"The Caldwell? Four settings. I use four. Why carry a tool if you're not gonna use it right? These little guys—" *pats the drone launcher* "—they got facial recognition. Mostly works. Good enough for government work, better than government work."
On his credentials:
"Three and a half weeks, certified. Abuela set it up. You know how hard it is to get into a program like that? You don't. That's why you're not certified."
On the guild:
"It's a gang. We run fiber. You want in, you track your miles. How many miles you installed? That's your rank. That's your reputation. That's your resume. You want to be somebody in this crew? Run cable."
The Fiber Guild
What Hector calls his "gang" operates somewhere between organized crime, a trade union, and a construction company.
Initiation
Track how many miles of fiber optic cable you've installed. More miles = higher rank.
Territory
They don't control streets—they control job sites and supply runs.
Revenue
Installation contracts (gray market), salvage extraction, and "protection" for legitimate contractors.
Operations
Often found in unmarked vehicles near fiber optic supply stores, waiting for opportunities.
In Sector 7G, if you need fiber work done fast and don't want to pay corporate rates, you find Hector's crew. They're reliable, their work is good, and if someone tries to interfere with a job site, well... that's what the C4 is for.
The guild provides something rare in the Dregs: steady work, fair pay, and a sense of belonging. For a lot of young people in Sector 7G, joining Hector's crew is the best opportunity they'll ever get.
Relationships
The Crew
His guild members are fiercely loyal. He pays fair, trains them himself, and has used the C4 to protect job sites more than once.
Abuela
The only person Hector truly answers to. She's the reason he channels his anger into building something rather than burning it down.
The Collective
Occasional contractor for off-the-books infrastructure work.
Corporations
Refuses to work for them directly. Will work for their subcontractors if the money's right.
