Hector Avila, played by Kurt Caceres, is a fictional character from the American television series, Prison Break. Hector is cousin and nemesis to Fernando Sucre and the only relative of Sucre's that has no criminal record.

He is partly responsible for the conviction of his cousin for robbery; he called in a police tip that led to Sucre's arrest outside a liquor store. It is clear that the reason behind Hector's callousness towards his cousin stems from a romantic interest in Sucre's girlfriend Maricruz Delgado, it has also been suggested that Hector's move to New York City was due to Maricruz accepting a job as a buyer for a fashion outlet in Manhattan and his job at the stock market.

[edit] Appearances

Hector Avila was introduced as a recurring character in the second episode of the first season, "Allen". He has made appearances in five episodes so far.

[edit] Season 1

In the three years since Sucre met Maricruz, Hector has been determined to destroy their relationship. Hector often suggested to Sucre that he couldn't maintain a relationship with Maricruz financially, under the pretext that he was "looking out" for his cousin's interests.

After his cousin's incarceration in Fox River State Penitentiary, it became relatively easy to create tension between Sucre and his girlfriend. For instance Hector created spurious lies that Sucre had been received visits from Rita Saldana whilst inside prison. Hector was also prepared to drive across state lines to take Maricruz to see Sucre, roughly 500 miles "to be friends", as Sucre points out in the "series premiere". Eventually, Hector succeeded in separating Maricruz and Sucre and in starting a relationship of his own with Maricruz. In episode "Cute Poison", Hector visited his cousin in Fox River to tell Sucre that Maricruz was no longer with him. Hector considers himself as representing "stability", in contrast he sees his cousin as merely a convict that can do nothing for Maricruz.

[edit] Season 2

Hector was engaged to be married with Maricruz in Las Vegas, Nevada; but when Sucre showed up at the wedding, Maricruz called it off. In "Rendezvous", Hector storms into Theresa's home and demands to know where Maricruz is. He finds her travel itinerary and yells that she is taking their honeymoon trip without him, but paid for with his money.
