His hair hangs "elegantly around his chin" and he always wears a pair of glasses which constantly slip down his nose. He is of Nelivirnee descent, coming from a nothern country in his home-world.

Relationships
Penelope Fairfax: Penny met Hector as a student in his English 102 class that he taught at Twin River Community College. The two were very awkward with one another at first, but began to open up to one another after their conversation in the Tarni Woods where Penny told him she'd admired his teaching work. They have each saved each other's lives on more than one occasion, and Hector becomes rather protective of Penny. During their stay in Iverton, Hector is deeply upset when Penny tries to read his memories, and she becomes afraid that he is hiding something very important from her. At the Jubilee Ball, the two of them danced and Penny began to feel a light attraction to him, which remained throughout the rest of the book, even though she refused to acknowledge it. She trusted him with her phobia of lightning, and has been the only one to see her cry, when she broke down in Mulgrith. They often have playful arugments and tease one another, but by the end of 'The Angel of Elydria', Hector describes her as "his dearest friend."

Trivia

 * Hector is shown to know how to dance very well in the chapter "The Shattered Chandelier" suggesting he came from high society on Nelvirna.
 * Hector turns 30 years old shortly after the beginning of the first novel.
 * Hector has a strong interest in poetry and music.
 * His animal symbol is a stag.
