As a spirit in the Land of the Dead, Héctor appears as a skeleton with his bones yellow and rusted, without bright gold, green and purple markings on his skull, which are nearly faded. His appearance was overall unkempt - his black hair became messier, while the rest of himself was held together by things, such as tape and bandages on his right arm and left leg. On his head, he wears a straw hat. He also wears a torn-up indigo formal jacket with a red tie and red, black, and white suspenders, and torn-up light brown and black pinstriped pants to show his skeletal knees and feet, giving him the appearance highly reminiscent of a scarecrow. He also gained a single gold tooth in his frontal teeth. Héctor has acquired a number of bad traits during his time in death, being deceitful, quick-dealing, and having the air of a con artist. However, these bad qualities stem from neither ambition nor malice, but rather absolute desperation to make up for the mistakes he made in life—leaving his family behind—and to make them right. Despite matching what his run-down appearance may suggest, Héctor, at his best, is a charming, creative, and deeply family-oriented man. However, Héctor still enjoyed listening to music, he is a kind man. While he is often passive and evasive in the face of conflict compared to Imelda, Héctor would fight back when he's deeply betrayed or if his family is at stake. Héctor's most defining qualities are his deep love for family. He loves: Music (when used as a form of art), singing, dancing, his family, Día de los Muertos, tacos, tequila, bread of the dead, musicians who consider music to be art, he doesn't really drink though unless offering a toast or shot to a well known friend. He dislikes;Being forgotten, his family in danger (especially living members), upsetting Imelda, music (when used as a way to become famous), musicians who only care about fame, being separated from his family, betrayal, being told how skeletons walk, being called chorizo, being lied to, ambitions chosen over family, his song "Remember Me" being sung in public.
