▲[[File:ermes costello & family anime.png|thumb|A younger Ermes with her father and sister.]]
When Gloria turned twenty, she inherited her Mexican immigrant father's small restaurant in the slums of Florida. Despite being a small restaurant, she had a steady flow of customers.
 
One daynight in 2005,{{Ref-Note|In the [[SO Episode 13|anime]], the flashback takes place in 2005 instead of 2008, to be consistent with Ermes's age.}} when the restaurant was closed, Gloria was giving her usual speech to Ermes, lecturing her about not helping out in the restaurant and acting like a delinquent. Being seventeen at the time, Ermes had no interest in helping the restaurant and wanted to get a scholarship in cross-country to go to college. Knowing that mentioning this to Gloria would cause a fight, Ermes decided to run out of the house.
 
At that moment, in an abandoned back alley behind the restaurant, Gloria heard the groaning of someone near a luxurious car. Upon further inspection, Gloria sees a man tied up on the ground with a gang leader named [[Sports Maxx]] standing next to him. Sports Maxx asks the man to bite down on a wooden stick nearby, making sure to prop the stick so it was vertically inserted into his mouth. Sports Maxx then stomps on the man's head, causing the stick to impale his skull, killing him. Gloria reacts in shock, but manages to hide behind a wall before Sports Maxx sees her. She hadn't intended to spy on them, and decided she wouldn't report them either. She felt the best course of action would be to just let whatever happened there handle itself, in order to keep her restaurant safe. Unfortunately, Ermes was still running down the street at the time, where Sports Maxx noticed her, and assumed that she was going to tell someone about the murder.
 
[[File:Maxx killing Gloria.png|thumb|left|270px|Sports Maxx had Gloria strangled to death]]
Gloria ended up calling the police in order to protect her sister. However, the police messed up. They claimed that the state of Florida had instituted capital punishment and, because Sports Maxx was an infamous criminal they had been chasing for a few years, they could use her testimony to get him arrested and protect her family. In order to combat the police, Sports Maxx sent a lesser-known criminal to kill Gloria, strangling her to death at a nearby alley. After the murder, her body was found in a gutter, and her case became a major news story. After the death of the only eyewitness to Sports Maxx's crimes, the only charges the police could convict him of were tax evasion and inflicting bodily harm, which carried a sentence of only five years in prison. Soon after Sports Maxx's trial, Gloria and Ermes's father died, and Ermes lost everything: the restaurant, and her family.
 
While Sports Maxx is in [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]], Ermes decides to commit a crime so she can get arrested and exact revenge, killing him in prison when his gang isn't with him and he is completely defenseless.<ref name="SOC51" />
