Hector Nieves was born and raised in Bailley. He is the son of Emilio Nieves and the grandson of Papi and Abuela Nieves. He was raised by Emilio for most of his childhood.

When he was 5 years old,[2] to afford to make a reservation to have his birthday party at Joystick Jr., he worked hard to help his dad raise money by doing many jobs, including working at his Papi's food truck, Taco Dragon. Unfortunately, his party was ruined by the absence of his favorite animatronic, Ralphie Bear.[3] Five would also accompany his dad to work regularly.

He grew up loving video games, and this love of video games was supported and encouraged by his father who would often wait with him outside the Hinobi store for new releases. His dad would also take Five to Geri Lawson's vintage video game store every day after school.[4]

It's not specified when, but before the events of the series, Five's dad was arrested for hacking a firewall.[4] After that, Five began living with his grandparents and helping them with the food truck more. Fortunately, his grandparents also support his love for video games.[5]

After helping to stop a Glitch with Miko Kubota, they were both hired as employees of their local Hinobi store and as Glitch Techs.

High Five is a nice and caring boy who loves playing video games and will do anything to achieve his goal, never giving up. Generally, Five respects most people but isn't afraid to stand up to others when he feels it's necessary to do so. While Five is usually logical and responsible, when under stress and pressure (or a strong emotion in general), he becomes impulsive and doesn’t think things fully out or clearly. When scared or nervous, he’ll even begin to over-think things and get stuck in his head.

Five does have a tendency to fear the unknown, and when assigned a job, he is often afraid to fail it, leading people like Mitch to steer him wrong. Five often gets stuck in his own head, unable to act in the moment, his mind too full to go the distance.

When Five does get out of his own head, he's capable of putting the puzzle of any game together, such as in "Castle Crawl" when he kept all the loot gathered just in case he would need something later. His plans rarely fail, and when his instincts catch up, he's one of the most dangerous Glitch Techs around.

While Five is someone who prefers to think before he acts, when provoked with strong emotions such as anger or panic, he can become impulsive and will jump on people or even sometimes, though rarely, reset their memory on purpose or on accident.

Five also shows a preference to stick to and follow the rules but isn't afraid, albeit hesitant, to break them. Five is also shown to lie sometimes keep himself and friends from getting in trouble or to impress others. And often those lies get him into trouble and will make a situation worse as shown in "The Real Glitch Techs".

He is tall, very slim, and has fairly dark tan skin. blushed cheeks He has a puffy hairstyle with a galaxy blueish purple/indigo hue, along with slim arms and legs.

In his casual wear, he can usually be seen wearing a green graphic t-shirt with a black elbow length shirt underneath. He also sports grey skinny jeans and a pair of Hinobi sneakers. Sometimes he wears a green hoodie with the number "5" on it. On other occasions, he can be seen wearing a different shirt from the graphic green shirt such as a yellow one in "BUDS" and in a flashback in "Collection Quest". In "Ralphie Bear", Five can be seen wearing a white Ralphie Bear themed tee. Five is also seen wearing a yellow hoodie with "05" on it very briefly when Miko was looking for him with Lexi's phone in "Age of Hinobi"

While working in the Hinobi store, his outfit is still the same except he wears a blue Hinobi polo shirt over his black elbow length shirt instead of one of his graphic tees.

Five can also be seen wearing a standard Hinobi tech support jumpsuit, and he also is seen wearing glitch tech armor when his tech gauntlet is activated.

Family Emilio Nieves Emilio is Five's dad, and they're still on good terms even though Five is clearly upset by the fact his dad is in prison.

Abuela & Papi Nieves Abuela & Papi Nieves are Five's grandparents. Before becoming a Glitch Tech for Hinobi, Five used to work at their food truck. They support his love for video games.

Friends Miko Kubota Miko is Five's partner and one of his best friends. He enjoys passing time with her on the job and out of it, and they frequently play games together. He has much trust in her: even when Mitch pointed out she could be a glitch with a very solid argument in the episode "Find the Glitch", Five argued that it didn't matter because he would continue trusting her.

Before meeting face-to-face for the first time, Five had often played against Me_K.O. in online matches but had lost to her every time, making him a little irked when they finally met.

Casino Casino is a childhood friend of Five that he hadn't seen in two years before the events of "Smashozaurs". They both have a shared love for the titular video game featured in the episode, Smashozaurs. Due to regularly accompanying his dad to work and then not seeing him for a full two years, Casino felt abandoned by Five for a while.

Geri Lawson Geri is a family friend who is close with Five and his dad. Before the series, Five hadn't seen her since his dad was arrested.

Co-Workers Phil Altiere As manager of the Bailey branch of Hinobi's Glitch Techs, Phil is Five's boss. Five respects him as a superior but is willing to hold his ground against him in cases like bringing Ridley aboard Glitch Techs.

Mitch Williams Five was fanatic of Mitch as a gamer, for this is one of the most tolerant with his arrogant self-centered behavior for his trust in his skill and knowledge but doesn't have a problem to directly confront him when he crosses the line. Aside all Five openly considers him as friend or at least a frenemy.

Zahra Rashid As a more experienced Glitch Tech, Five is impressed by and finds Zahra cool. As the series progresses, they become friends and Zahra even develops a crush on Five. So far, Five is unaware of her feelings about him.

Haneesh Jyoshi Haneesh is a more experienced Glitch Tech that Five respects and looks up to. After "Alpha Leader", the feeling of respect became mutual.

Cecil Bergoch They became good friends in "Collection Quest" and often went on missions together after that, indicating they are on good terms.
