### Early Life

Hector was born into an orphanage in Mexico City in 1978. In his youth, he became notorious around the orphanage as a bully, often stealing food and toys from the other children. After being adopted by the Menendez family in 1986, Hector continued to run rampant through his neighborhood and starting fights at his high school. In order to control his son's behavior, Hector's adopted father put him in a boxing class, which helped him channel his anger into something positive. Hector's attitude improved slightly, during this time, but Hector's inner demons would emerge again after his father died from a heart attack in 1993. Without his father's positive influence, Hector would began to hang with a group local robbers and began to steal from others.
