Javier García (Video Game)

"There's a way. There always is, no matter how lost you are. You just have to keep looking, until you find it."

- Javier to David. (Determinant)

Javier García, also known as Javi, is the protagonist in Telltale Games's The Walking Dead: Season Three. A former professional baseball player, Javier's life fell apart prior to the outbreak with the destruction of his career, and him not being there when his father was ill, which caused a strain in his relationship with his family upon his father's death. To Javier, the most important thing to him in regard to survival is toughing it out for the ones he loves, though he isn't ready to lay down his life for others as long as there's a more reasonable path to take. His voice of reason is respected among his friends and family, even if it does not get him where he wants to go.

Personality
Javier is portrayed in accordance to the player's choices, though in almost all circumstance he takes the position of an arbitrator and the voice of reason, deliberating between equally viable options in a manner that seeks to disarm any opposition within or outside of his group, such as when Clementine and Eli get into an altercation over void bullets where he can either attempt to support Clementine or ask her to calm down, or when his family gets caught using supplies that belong to the New Frontier and he must attempt to negotiate. In both scenarios, Javier proves to be a capable combatant, managing to knock out Lonnie after a brief struggle and successfully disarmed Eli despite him attempting to stab him with a blade. However, Javier was overpowered by his brother David in their fight, being tackled to the ground and choked with a wrench despite initially holding his own. (Determinant)

He often is delegated the de-facto leader in a variety of circumstances due to his collected nature, which is a position that he doesn't exploit to his power, instead using it to defend his group and protect them. This can be seen when he and his family lived inside the van, when the group chances upon Jesus hiding away near Richmond and Javier goes to investigate and after Mariana is shot and killed, where he can either support Kate after she is shot or remain with Clementine to avenge Mariana's death and stop the New Frontier from trying to find the remainder of his family.

Despite this, Javier did not display true leadership skills until several years had passed in the apocalypse. It was revealed through dialogue that Javier appeared to be insular in his desires and goals in life, and decided to exert most of his focus into his baseball career, and in turn blocked out things that he should have considered paramount, such as his sick father and extended family.

He can be quite altruistic and act with the sole benefit of the group in mind as opposed to his own safety. This is seen when he hands himself in to the New Frontier to secure Francine's release, or when he risks his own life at the expense of protecting Clementine from the New Frontier. (Determinant) This trait is expressed to a lesser degree when he allows himself to be attacked by David at the start of the apocalypse so that David could have some catharsis for the death of their father and Javier's neglect of the family.

The player can determine whether or not Javier is somewhat amoral, irrational or uncaring. This is evident in his ignorance towards consequences of his actions, stealing supplies from the New Frontier, or shooting a fleeing member of a New Frontier despite the group's insurmountable force.

Javier is sardonic and witty, easily exchanging jabs with Clementine and Kate. He is quite charismatic and is mentioned to be able to charm his way out of most situations and is seen to do exactly that with characters such as Clementine and Tripp, who come to trust him quite quickly due to his amicable disposition.

Baltimore, Maryland
Javier was a professional baseball player in Baltimore, possibly under the jersey number 25 (which he is seen wearing in the extended preview). He was kicked out of the league, however, after he was caught betting on his own games, a scandal that went into the news and was still remembered by some survivors even for four years after the apocalypse. He once played a minor league game in Arkansas before he was expelled, commissioning a charter plane to fly him there.

"Ties That Bind - Part 1"
At the onset of the outbreak, Javier was on the highway desperately trying to get to his parents family home, having heard his father was dying and he was needed.

He ditched his car and sprinted all the way to the home, arriving only to find his brother David on the porch drinking cans of beer. David subsequently revealed to Javier that their father had died shortly before he arrived. Devastated, Javier began frantically apologizing for not being there only for David to punch him to the ground and berate him for not being their and putting his baseball career before his family. Javier either furthered his apology or permitted David to beat him as punishment. (Determinant)

Before Javier could be hurt further, Gabe came outside and asked what they were doing. Javier made up an excuse, meeting Kate who told him his mother needed him. Once inside, Javier was smacked by his mother who also chastised him for not being there for her husband. Javier hugged his mother and apologized for not being there.

He and his family then mourned for Salvador's passing while Hector called for someone to take Salvador's body away, but was unable to due to the line being off service. Mariana left Salvador's bedroom with a cup, claiming her grandfather was awake. Curious, the family entered Salvador's room to see him standing. Javier watched as Hector approached and asked how it was possible that he is alive. The now zombified Salvador starts attacking Hector, Javier and David immediately restraining their father. Their mother asked what they are doing, believing that her husband is still alive, only to get bitten. Amidst the chaos that followed, Javier reluctantly killed his zombified father.

Javier then helped David prepare to take Mrs. García to the hospital, warning his brother not to take the highway as it is blocked. Javier then found a crying Marianna under a table, taking her to get in the van so everyone else could flee towards the hospital. As they departed, Javier noticed that Hector was bitten.

The story cuts to four years later in present day. Javier, now older with scruffy facial hair, is watching a large herd of walkers approaching in the distant with Kate. She asks Javier to inform her when they reached the campfire in order to understand how fast the herd was moving. Once the herd did so, she noticed that it took them under fours hours so they needed to keep moving.

Returning back to their van, they departed while Mariana and Gabriel slept in the back. Driving down the road, they discussed the herd as Kate began to smoke, Javier either scolding her or partaking in it. (Determinant) They discussed David and the children, Kate expressing her worries about Gabriel's recent attitude, Javier merely putting it down to puberty. Their talk eventually woke the children, who noticed the smell of drugs regardless of Javier admitting to it or not. (Determinant) The family reached a junkyard, Javier deciding they should search for supplies.

Javier soon finds a ladder that leads to another section of the junkyard. Taking Gabriel with him, they find a wagon with plenty of fuel and cabin containing an array of food. As Kate and Marianna enter, Gabriel expresses a desire to stay in the hut for the night despite Kate objecting; Javier can either agree with the former or the latter. (Determinant)

Leaving the hut, Javier returns to a wagon to siphon some gas siphon only to be discovered by a hostile group. Their leader, Max, demands to know where the rest of Javier's group are, holding him at gunpoint, taking him to the cabin while the others search the area. After forcing Javier inside the hut and finding his food eaten, Max beats Javier before leaving Lonnie to guard Javier. After hearing a noise under the cabin, Javier either jumps to his family's defense after they are discovered or he immediately threaten or starts a fight with Lonnie. (Determinant) The fight ends with Lonnie getting knocked unconscious and the hostile group finding such. Furious, Max knocks Javier out with the handle of his gun.

Waking up, Javier finds himself in truck, his hands tied and a member of the hostile group driving the truck next to him. Realizing that his family is still at the junkyard, he attempts to plea to the man only to be told to shut up. Suddenly, a tree falls down, causing the man to crash the truck. With the man briefly stunned, Javier takes a gun and exits the truck; his former guard stumbling out also. As the man starts running away, Javier orders him to stop and points a gun at him, either letting him go or shooting him dead. (Determinant)

Despite believing he is safe, he is cornered by a stranger, the person making Javier drop his gun. After criticizing his choice regarding how he handled Rufus, the girl ordering him to stay as she begins searching the truck, revealing she stopped the truck to use for herself. The girl then begins searching Javier's backpack, claiming that it was payment for saving him. As she forced him to leave, Javier explained his situation and wanted to know where the junkyard was located, wanting to return to his family. Having knowledge of the junkyard, the girl (revealed to be called Clementine) agrees to take him there in return for a van. Javier can either agree or disagree though Clementine reveals he has no choice. (Determinant)

The duo begin walking down the road, Javier attempting to make small talk about their situation. However, they notice a herd of walkers prompting Clementine to declare that they head to a nearby town to get shelter. After cutting his bindings, they push through the herd to the entrance of Prescott. Arriving at the gate, they find it shut, the gate keeper urging them to kill the walkers before letting them inside. As they fought the walkers, Clementine switched to her handgun only to find the bullets not working; Javier can shoot the walker attacking her or allow Clementine to save herself. (Determinant) Tripp soon opens the gate to let them in.

The gate keeper introduced himself as Tripp; he warned them not to cause any trouble during their stay as the duo entered Prescott. Once inside the town, Clementine explained Prescott's history. The town used to be an old airstrip that turned into a town. Clementine led Javier toward the bar to talk to a person about her bullets. Before leaving Clementine suggested Javier to go and make some friends. Heading toward the bar desk, Javier found a man and a woman playing poker. They introduced themselves as Conrad and Francine. Conrad, the owner of the bar, recognized Javier. He remembered the news about how he got banned from baseball due to betting on himself. Javier built a rapport with the pair and helped Francine win a game of poker against Conrad (Determinant) before they got interrupted by Clementine arguing with someone at the hanger.

Javier approached and asked what is going on. Clementine explained that she traded him a crate of batteries and he gave her bullets that wouldn't fire. She was furious that he could have gotten them killed. The argument turned violent when Clementine proved her point by shooting the defective bullets at Eli. Eli asked sarcastically if Javier was Clementine's bodyguard, to which he either says that he is, or that she doesn't need one. (Determinant) Javier defended Clementine as Eli tried to knife her. He received a scar at his eye before disarming him. The argument ended when one of the defective bullets turned out to be working and Clementine shot Eli through the forehead. Conrad entered with his shotgun and furiously demanded Clementine to drop her gun. Tripp soon appeared and demanded to know what is going on. Clementine asked Javier to cover for her.

If Javier chooses to cover Clementine: Javier covered for Clementine and claimed that she was justified. He claimed that Eli attacked and showed his wound as proof. Tripp put them both under lock until he figured out what to do with them. Once locked behind a cage, Tripp scolded Javier but relented and told Javier that he will get someone to look at his eye before leaving. Clementine thanked Javier for having her back at the hanger, but she told Javier not to expect that it will make them friends. But nevertheless the relationship between them will be more positive. Eleanor came to the cage and began treating Javier's wounds. Tripp soon arrives and told them that he will take them to the junkyard tomorrow. Once he leaves, Eleanor suggested that they can leave through the back-gate at midnight.

If Javier tells the truth: Javier told them the truth about what happened, much to Clementine's disappointment. Tripp accepted the truth and thanked Javier for being honest. Before taking Clementine outside to talk, Tripp told Javier to find Eleanor so she can treat his wound. Tripp came to the infirmary with Clementine. He told Javier that he will take them to the junkyard tomorrow and suggested that they should rest at the infirmary. After Tripp leaves, Eleanor told Javier that they can leave at midnight through the back-gate. Once alone, Clementine expressed her disappointment to Javier; she expected him to cover for him. The pair then decide whether to depart with Eleanor on horseback or Tripp in his truck. (Determinant)

The next day, Javier reached the junkyard with Clementine and Eleanor/Tripp, (Determinant) finding Mariana's tape player as Mariana came out of her hiding place and reunited with Javier. She explained that she got separated from Kate and Gabriel when the herd showed up. They began looking for Kate and Gabriel and eventually found them inside a truck, surrounded by walkers. After dispatching the walkers, the reunited family began leaving the junkyard.

As they started leaving, Mariana found and picked up her headphones on the ground. As she did, she got shot through the head by the same hostile group of survivors from the night before. Led by man, the hostile group began shooting at them. Javier ducked for cover. When Kate tries to get to Mariana's body, she got shot. This prompted Gabriel to rush to her defense. Javier can either help them or return fire. (Determinant)

As the group regrouped under cover, Tripp/Eleanor urged them to retreat back to Prescott so they can give Kate medical help. Clementine suggested that they should stay behind and fight to end the group's threat.

If Javier retreats: Javier agrees to Tripp's/Eleanor's suggestion and is forced to leave Clementine behind when she refuses to leave without taking out their attackers first. Heading back to the car or horses, (Determinant) Javier look at Mariana's body one last time before retreating. The episode ends as Kate loses consciousness as Javier desperately pleaded her to wake up.

If Javier stays behind to fight: Javier agrees to Clementine's suggestion to stay and fight. He told Gabriel to help Tripp/Eleanor take Kate away as he stays behind. Once the family left, Javier and Clementine fired back at their attacker. One of them threw a grenade at them. The episode ends with Javier throwing the grenade back at them or he tackled Clementine to protect her from the blast.

"Ties That Bind - Part 2"
In a flashback before the Apocalypse, Javier stayed in David's house. He had just lost his career as a professional baseball player. Kate was washing the dishes as Javier approached; he wanted to help. Kate politely declined and said he was family. They talked about his current situation. Javier was worried about his future due to his action of betting on himself. They talked about David and how he had an issue with Javier's presence. Javier teased with the idea of traveling around. Kate asked if he would take her with him. She expressed that she always wanted to travel to Norway to see the Northern Lights. While washing the dishes, Kate accidentally broke David's army glass and cut herself. Javier moved to help her and held stop the bleeding. David came in and saw either Javier holding Kate's hand or not. (Determinant)

When David saw his army glass broken, he argued with Kate. David turned his attention to Javier. He was angry at Javier for judging him.

Tell him off: Javier fired back at David. He told him that Kate was leaving him and that she said it herself. This angered David and shocked Kate. Furious, David told Javier that in three days time, he will leave his house. Once David leaves the kitchen, Kate reprimanded Javier for his blunt words before leaving Javier alone.

Let it go: If Javier decided to let it go and admit that it wasn't his business, David calmed down. Kate apologized for breaking his glass. David forgave her and walked out of the kitchen. Kate assured Javier that she can handle him and that his mood will pass.

If Javier stayed behind to fight: Javier regained his consciousness. He found himself on the ground and a walker crawled toward him. Clementine shot the walker and told Javier to take it easy. She explained that their attacker got away. Javier remembered Mariana whose corpse was nearby. Clementine told him that she had already dug a grave for her. Javier carried his niece's corpse as Clementine led him to the grave. He laid her corpse in the grave and after some last words he began filling her grave. He can either keep her tape player or leave it with Mari. If he keeps it, later he can either keep it for himself or give it to Gabe. Clementine thanks Javier for staying and that he probably saved her life. They attention turned toward a sound nearby. They found one of the attackers now zombified. Javier killed the walker. He noticed that the walker had a brand. The same brand that the hostile group had. Clementine revealed her knowledge about them. The group is called The New Frontier and that she had encounters with them. Clementine drove Javier back to Prescott in one of the cars left behind by the New Frontier.

"They call themselves the "New Frontier." They used to be decent people. Now they're....something else."

- Clementine to Javier about the New Frontier. (Determinant)

If Javier went back to Prescott: Back at Prescott, Javier and Gabriel was at Kate's side as Eleanor did surgery on her. After much effort, Eleanor managed to take out the bullet inside Kate. Amidst the surgery, Gabriel can either stay or get told to leave. (Determinant) If Gabriel stayed, he accidentally spilled alcohol on Kate's wound which caused her pain. Ashamed by his mistake, Gabriel leaves. (Determinant)

Eleanor told Javier that although Kate was stable, she was still bleeding inside and it was only a matter of time before she dies. She suggested that he go and search for Gabe. Javier found Gabriel outside the gate. He was cutting a walker. Javier comforted his nephew about the recent events. Gabriel said that he wanted to go back and bury Mariana and that he was ashamed of how helpless he was. He promised that he won't sit back and watch next time. Then they saw Clementine returned with a car or trucks approaching. (Determinant)

Retreating back to the gate, Javier went to lookout where Conrad and Tripp was already armed with guns. Max appeared with Badger and a group of The New Frontier. Max demanded that Javier surrender himself due to his action against their group. Badger pushed the issue when he revealed that Francine was their hostage. Either Javier can comply to their demands or he can start firing his guns. (Determinant) The confrontation turned violent either way. Badger disobeyed Max's authority and ordered the truck loaded with walkers to ram Prescott's gate. Javier and his group managed to flee the ruined town, in a set of cars, as the rest of the residents got killed or captured by the New Frontiers.

Stopping at the road to regroup, the group dealt with their current situation. After defusing a tense moment with Conrad who blamed Javier for Francine's death, Clementine suggested that they should head to the community in Richmond to look for medical aid for Kate and shelter. With a destination in mind, the group quickly moved on.

In the night, as Eleanor drove the car, Javier talked to Kate about her current situation and Gabe. She pondered about Gabriel's future and that he might turn into David or Javier. She asked Javier to take care of him when she is gone, to which Javier can promise her that he will. (Determinant) If Javier took a water bottle while in Prescott after talking with Eleanor, he can give it to Kate.

The next morning, the group arrived at an abandoned gas station. Tripp signaled them to stop due to their path being blocked by cars. After assessing the area, Javier found an abandoned jeep with a winch in a garage. Using a jumper cable he found in an abandoned car, he powered the jeep by connecting it to Tripp's car. As the blocked cars gets pulled out of the way, the noise attracted the attention of a large group of walkers. After clearing a road for Eleanor, Javier ordered her to quickly take Kate to Richmond. Before they could escape on Tripp's car, the winch has continued to been pulling the car and made escaping difficult.

Javier quickly ordered his friends to head toward the roofs of the station and nearly got bitten before Conrad pulled him out of harm's way. On top of the roof, the group began arguing about their current situation. Their argument stopped when both Javier and Tripp realized that someone was watching them from roof of another building. The group took cover. Javier headed out to find the stranger. When he reached the other building by using the bridge, Javier found him looking at his group through the hole of a billboard. Javier apparently discovers him looking at his group through the hole of a billboard. Regardless of whether he makes himself known to the mysterious watcher or shoots him, Javier discovers that the figure was a decoy. Upon hearing a safety click off, Javier drops his gun and raises his hands at the order of the watcher standing behind him. The two briefly ask each other about their motives and whether or not there would be trouble between them. Javier can choose to threaten him or try to reassure him that he would suffer no harm in regards to Javier's group after he is asked about whether or not they would shoot at him.

The group came to Javier and surrounded the stranger. He surrendered and the group began questioning if he was with the New Frontier, even searching him for the distinctive brand (Determinant). The man denied that he was part of the group. He revealed that he was heading to Richmond when he heard that the New Frontier took over. Realizing that Kate and Eleanor was heading into danger, the group needed to catch up to their friends. The man offered to join them and lead them to Richmond through a train tunnel. Javier can either decide to tie the man or trust him. (Determinant) Before heading out, the man introduced himself as Paul, but his friends call him Jesus.

After having entered the tunnel for a time, Clementine asked Javier for his attention. She explained that she hasn't told the whole truth about her encounters with the New Frontier. She revealed that she wasn't their prison, but was a member of the group. She showed her brand as proof, much to Javier's shock. She explained that if the group is in control of Richmond, she can't be allowed to be seen by them and thus she has to leave once they are in safety.

Catching up to the group, they reached the train path heading toward Richmond. The tunnel turned out to be filled with walkers. After Conrad impulsively started shooting the walkers and thus alerting the herd to the group, Javier and the other fought their way toward the end of the tunnel. The path was blocked by an abandoned train. Javier managed to break the door and stayed with Clementine and Gabriel to block the door as the rest of the group moved ahead to clear a path.

Javier succeeded in blocking the train door and as they were about to leave, Conrad appeared and pointed a gun at Clementine. He revealed that he heard their talk and demanded Clementine to reveal her brand. Conrad suggested that they should hold Clementine as captive and bring her to Richmond to negotiate with the New Frontiers. Clementine warned that they wouldn't bargain with them. The confrontation turned heated when Conrad held Gabe as captive and threatened to kill him if Javier doesn't comply.

Agreeing to Conrad's plan: Javier apologizes to Clementine as he turns his gun at her. Clementine either gets furious and berates Javier for his betrayal (if you didn't cover for her after Eli was shot in the bar), or just silently glares at him (if you did cover for her) as Conrad leads her out at gunpoint. Gabriel also scolds Javier, calling him a coward; Javier defends his action, claiming it is best for Kate. (Determinant)

"Fucking traitor!"

- Clementine to Javier after he accepts Conrad's plan if he did not cover for her in the bar. (Determinant)

"You're a coward! You're a fucking coward!"

- Gabe to Javier after he accepts Conrad's plan.

Shoots Conrad: Javier shoots Conrad in the head, killing him. Clementine urges them to leave and that she will find her own way before leaving. Javier briefly consoles a shocked Gabriel before leaving the train and Conrad's corpse behind.

Rejoining Jesus and Tripp, the latter will either ask why Conrad was holding Clementine at gunpoint or where Conrad was. (Determinant) Continuing forward, the group find Eleanor's car abandoned. They found Kate still inside the car, but Eleanor no where in sight. Seeing no other option, Javier carried Kate towards Richmond's entrance.

They reach the gate, Javier calling for attention. Max appears, demanding to know why they are there. Javier pleads to let them in to save Kate, complying or refusing Max's demands. (Determinant)

The gate of Richmond opened as the New Frontier's leader walked out, demanding to know what was going, Javier realizing the leader is David.

"Above The Law"
The episode starts off when David comes out of Richmond's gates and sees his family, David goes over to Kate and asks "What the hell happened?". Javier reveals Kate had gotten shot and Max and his group wouldn't let them in.

David then soons takes Kate and Gabe to the infirmary, but Javier, Jesus, Tripp, and Conrad (Determinant) are stopped by Fern, who informs them that all newcomers must be placed in quarantine. Javi can either call out to David, Gabe, or inform both that he'll come see them as soon as he can. So then Javi, Jesus, Tripp, and Conrad (Determinant) meet Eleanor in the quarantine room. Eleanor explains that the car engine broke down and, panicked, went to get help and had asked the guards to come in and explained that she had a wounded patient.

David soon comes in and asks Javi if he would like to see Kate in the hospital, saying Kate had been asking to see him. David and Javi are on their way to the infirmary. Along the way, David introduces Javi to Ava, David's right-hand person and second in command of security. Then later David asks Javi what happened to Mariana. Javi explains to David that Badger and Max attacked Prescott and ambushed Javi and his group, resulting in Mariana's death by being shot in the head. David becomes visibly saddened and angry due to this. Then Javi and David go see Kate, and see Dr. Lingard checking Kate for bites and wounds, Kate then pretends to be hurt and David leaves the room to get Dr.Lingard. Kate tells Javier that she is worried that she had a bad feeling about Richmond. David comes back and acts suspiciously when he sees that Kate is fine, with Dr. Lingard defending Kate by saying that pain often comes and goes with abdominal wounds. He examines Kate's stitching and offers to vouch for Eleanor upon discovering she is in quarantine. Then David takes Javi to meet Joan and Clint, who are trying to choose between Joan's cake and Clint's creamed spinach. Javier can choose either or say everything looks delicious. After some conversation with Joan and Clint, Max comes in and tells how Javi was siphoning gas from one of their vehicles in the junkyard. Javi can reveal that Mariana was killed by New Frontier members or concede, saying he has nothing to defend himself with against Max's claims. Regardless, Joan decides she has heard enough and decides to kick Javi, Tripp, Jesus, and Conrad (Determinant) out of Richmond. As they leave, Ava gives them a supply bag and says that David packed the bag and warns them to not "mess this up". So Javi, Jesus, Tripp, and Conrad go to the X on the map that was on the baseball bat. They reach the warehouse as they are getting closer, and at this point Clementine joins them. Clementine then has a flashback of when she was trying to get medience for AJ. Regardless of whether you choose to inject AJ or put the drugs back, Clem then soon gets caught by the group and is kicked out. Clementine then has the option of saying a tearful goodbye to AJ or spitting in David's face. After the flashback, Javi has the option of hugging Clem. They reach the warehouse and David joins them to say 'Goodbye" but notice that Max, Badger, and Lonnie have secretly been raiding towns such as "The Kingdom" and Prescott. Javi goes and chases Badger, Clem and Jesus go chase Lonnie, and David goes after Max. Badger then is either killed by Javi, Conrad, (Determinant) or Tripp, or left to turn into a walker. Javi, Conrad (Determinant) and Tripp soon hear a noise and rush downstairs to find that David has overpowered Max. Max pleads that he can expose Joan for her role in the raids and that the raids were performed on her orders. Javi can choose to execute Max by shooting him in the head, adamant that he serves no purpose to the group, or spare him, to which David will hit Max on the back of the head with the gun and say he 'needed that'. If Javi takes too long, David will shoot Max instead. So David, Max (Determinant), Javi, Tripp, Conrad, (Determinant) Jesus, and Clementine rush back to Richmond before Lonnie does. Before Jesus leaves, if Javi was the one to kill Badger earlier, Jesus will ask if 'that' made him feel better, to which Javi can reply that it did. Jesus will warn Javi about acting violent. Later, when the group splits up, Tripp and Javi see two guards patroling the back streets of the back entrance and has two choices to distract them so he ad Tripp can move past. Javi can choose to break a window or break an electrical box. Javi soon joins David in the council and trying to convince everyone that Joan ordered raids on towns to keep Richmond going. Joan tries to cut off Javi, so Javi and David gets knocked out and sent to the quarantine/ or David can take a Guard's gun and shoot Lonnie (Off Panel & Off Screen)

Thicker Than Water"
After Joan sends David and Javier to the quarantine room, an unnamed guard and Rufus are shown locking them there, if Javi spared Rufus in Episode 1. David tries to convince the guards that Joan is making a mistake of Richmond, as the guard is speaking Clint comes down tries to calm everyone down and escorts the guards out of the room. A few minutes later Joan comes down with her escort and asks David to come with her. After David was taken, Javi tries to find a way out of the room before Joan comes back, he notices that there is a grate on the window and then sees Kate or Gabe, depending on your choice last episode, outside the window and tries to help Javi out of the room. Gabe/Kate soon leads Javi to Eleanor's place.

Javi asks Clem if Lingard was passed out and attempts to wake him up, after a while Lingard wakes up and tells Javi and Clem that he wants to die if David is being removed from his position. Javi will have a choice; 1. Kill Lingard 2. Don't kill him, or if you do not do anything Clementine will kill Lingard. Javi will soon later meet up with Kate to take one of the armory trucks, then meets up at the Town meeting where he sees David standing on a stool with a rope around his neck. Joan soons starts her speech about David and his group being enemies of Richmond. Joan will soon reveal Ava and Tripp being held captive, and makes Javi choose either Ava or Tripp to live. However, Joan goes back on Javi's decision and kills the person he chose to save. Clint then proposes a deal of taking David and getting out of Richmond.

Stay With Kate to save Richmond:

if you decide to do this, you and Kate will block the hole in the wall and Jesus and his group come back and help get rid of walkers. Clementine returns with Gabe and says David did not make it. If Clementine stays with Kate as well, David will be already dead and Gabe will be dying when they arrive after helping Kate.

Go After Gabe and David:

if you decide to do this choice you and Clem get on a bike and go after them (if Clementine chooses to stay with Kate, Javi will go alone). They/he follow(s) a trail of roadkill and see(s) that walkers are attacking the truck. If you have Clem with you, David and Gabe will both survive and David volunteers to leave the group, if you say "Come Back" David will leave but will come back later. If you say "Just Go" he will not appear again. The group makes it back to Richmond. Then while fighting zombies and looking for Kate, Javi is the first to witness the Zombified Kate. It is presumed Kate bled out from her wound and died since Javi/Clem was not there to help her. Javi can then choose to shoot her or not. If he does shoot her, he falls on his knees and covers his head with his hands as he screams in anguish and sorrow. If he does not, Kate will roam free in the herd of walkers. Then, in the epilogue, he and Gabe/Kate/David (Determinant) will look at the memorial wall, and see photos of Joan, (Determinant) Clint, (Determinant) Conrad, (Determinant) Ida, Rufus, Tripp, Ava, Badger, Mariana, David, (Determinant) Gabe, (Determinant) and Paul Lingard. (Determinant) Javi may talk to Conrad if he is still alive at the end of the game. Javi meets with Clementine outside and see Dr. Lingard, (Determinant) and he will reluctantly thank them for not killing him and he reveals the location of A.J, at McCorall Ranch. Then Javi says goodbye to Jesus. Jesus tells him he thinks Javi would make a good leader in Richmond. After Javi gives Clementine a haircut, Clementine will leave Richmond to go find A.J., then the Episode ends, marking the end of the game as well.

Clementine
"Javi, you've been willing to do some crazy stuff for me before. I know shooting Conrad wasn't easy. But it showed me I can always depend on you."

- Clementine to Javier.

Javier and Clementine's relationship was initially rather hostile, the girl making him her prisoner in order to help her secure a working vehicle. As time progressed, she opened up more to him and let him handle a gun. Their friendship becomes closer if Javier supports her claim that Eli attacked first and she shot Eli to defend him. (Determinant)

However, she still saw their relationship as one of business, claiming she only came with Javier to find his family if he secured her a working vehicle. Clementine did still care about him to a degree, shooting Javier's would-be killer if the man surrendered himself to Badger. (Determinant) Their friendship only grows closer if Javier defends her from Conrad's attempts to make her his hostage, though she becomes more hostile towards him if he complies with Conrad's demands. (Determinant)

In Thicker Than Water, Javier runs into Clementine in New Richmond's hospital, she offers to stitch up Javier's wounded shoulder, and admits to him that she has began her period, and asks Javier what it is. Javier can attempt to explain it (albeit poorly) or say she's growing up, and tell her that Kate can help her. He can optionally find pads in the hospital room, and give it to her. Javier can also praise Clementine for her work in stitching up his wounded shoulder.

It is implied in the ending that Clementine trusts Javier greatly as she asks him to cut her hair for her before she leaves to find AJ, something only Lee Everett had done for her before.

Kate García
"So long as I got you? I'm not too worried about it."

- Javier agreeing to start a family with Kate (Determinant) Prior to the outbreak, Javier and Kate had a friendly relationship, often joking around with each other. However, due to David's attitude, Kate became closer to Javier. During the apocalypse, Kate and Javier are revealed to be the sole guardians of Gabe and Mariana, and they both protect them fiercely. Javier can also reveal feelings for her by kissing Kate, (Determinant) sparking a romantic relationship between the two.

They often disagree on some choices regarding Mari and Gabe, with Kate usually taking the choices that guarantee the group's safety and Javier choosing what the kids like, becoming "the cool uncle" while Kate is "the mean step-mother". After Kate gets shot and wounded, Javier shows deep concern for her, showing that he truly cares for her.

Javier can confess his feelings for Kate in "Thicker Than Water", and if he does, Kate is thrilled that Javier shares the same feelings with her and the two warmly kiss each other. However she admits that their newfound romance for one another will feel awkward with David around but nevertheless she's happy and excited about it.

Their newfound romantic relationship (Determinant) can further be cemented and strengthened in "From The Gallows" via a number of options. If Javier admits to David that he loves Kate after she kisses him right in front of David, they hold hands, much to David's chagrin, which leads him to either fighting or beating down Javier in frustration that his now ex-wife now sides with his own brother over him. Furthermore, if Javier agrees to help Kate save Richmond, they successfully do so. After saving Richmond, they learn of David's death from Clementine, and after paying their respects to him and saying goodbye, they honor his death at the church by placing a picture of him on the wall alongside other people who passed away. Afterwards, Kate focuses back on Javier and wants to start a family with him. If he agrees, she is once again ecstatic and they kiss passionately.

Salvador García
"I'm sorry, papa!"

- Javier to Salvador before killing him as a zombie. In Ties That Bind - Part 1, upon reaching home, Javier was deeply saddened when David told him that their father had passed away and that he wasn't there for the final time. David expressed that he was 'scanning' the room, looking for Javier and asking where he was before passing away, showing that he loved Javier. When his father had reanimated as a zombie and was attacking David, Javier apologized to him before reluctantly killing him. Salvador and Javier later appear together in From The Gallows during a game of dominos with David.

Mrs. García
"He's in a better place, mama."

- Javier comforting Mrs. Garcia after Rafael's death. Although Javier seemed to have a close relationship with his mother. Despite his mother initially hitting him for not being there when her husband died, they still comfort each other over the loss. Javier also displays concern for her well-being, protecting her from his undead father and selflessly carries her to a car so she can reach the hospital.

David García
"You never give up on anybody, and I'm not gonna give up on you."

- Javier before hugging his brother David. (Determinant)

Before the apocalypse, Javier and David were on sour terms as Javier put his baseball career before his family, which David disliked. He was heavily frustrated with Javier not being there when their father died, punching him in the face and scolding his behavior and choices.

However, he later confessed his jealousy towards Javier, believing their father favored Javier over him, concluding he ultimately loved his 'little brother'. When their father had reanimated and was trying to kill David, Javier came to his brother's aid, showing that he held no hard feelings against him, willing to save his life. Despite this, David did feel judged by Javier during an argument with Kate sometime prior.

After practising baseball hitting at park, David notifies Javier that he wishes to reinlist in the army and wants Javier to look after Marianna, Gabe and Kate whilst he is gone. If Javier refuses, David will storm off angrily, severely damaging their relationship. On the other hand, if Javier accepts, David is very grateful and expresses relief that he could count on his brother. The two then walk off the park together, arms on each other's back, showing a close relationship.

When Javier meets David again for the first time in 4 years, he is very happy to see David again alive and well. David likewise shares similar feelings towards Javier despite him being somewhat suspicious over his and Kate's relationship. Nonetheless, both brothers look out for each other and watch each others backs. If Javier chose to attempt to leave the New frontier with Kate, David will be furious with Javier claiming he is just looking out for him and everyone and that he's just helping them. A fight determinedly can happen between the two brothers if Javier insults David's lack of care for his family, where David will punch Javier, saying he's dead to him, showing the immense hostility between the two brothers. (Determinant) On the other hand, if Javier stuck to David's plan, he and Javier will reaffirm their close bond, with Javier telling him he is with David no matter what. Javier can optionally choose to hug David or fist bump him, showing their close brotherly bond. (Determinant)

Later in the town square, Javier shows immense worry for David as Joan attempts to hang David for his "betrayal" to the New Frontier. No matter what Javier will save David from the gallows and he is extremely happy to see him alive. When David runs off to go after Joan or Clint depending on if the deal was taken or not, Javier can allow Gabe to go with David showing his care for David.

Hector García
Although, Hector and Javier did not interact with each other on-screen before his death, it can be inferred that they cared for each other given their familial relationship.

Mariana García
"Don't you dare say her name. Your men killed her. Which means you killed her."

- Javier to David about mentioning Mariana (Determinant)

Javier had a close relationship with his niece, Mariana. After spending four years in the apocalypse together, Javier came to regard her as his surrogate daughter. Her sweet and kind demeanor helped strengthen their bond, Javier optionally giving her batteries for her cassette player. (Determinant) Javier was especially worried about her safety when he was separated from her and was utterly devastated when she was killed by the New Frontier, expressing a vengeful desire to kill her murderers, even going so far as to completely destroy the skull of Badger, the man who shot Mariana. (Determinant) If he stayed behind to fight the New Frontier, he sorrowfully buries her. In grief, Javier wished that she deserved better and how she was like a daughter to him. Javier can either keep her old tape-player as a keepsake, bury it with her or give it to Gabe.

In Above The Law, Javier can demend justice for Mariana saying that Badger killed his niece who is also David's daughter, Max is shocked to hear this. David is upset that Javier revealed something that he was going to handle himself, but Javi defends himself saying that Max is unfairly accusing him so he has a right to say his piece to make things justified.

In From The Gallows, When David mentions to Gabe he won't let him die like Mariana, Javier can respond angry to this, saying he doesn't get to say her name and her death is on him, before Gabe cuts him off.

Gabriel García
"You proved your fucking point already, Gabe. Now, it's time to grow up and help us."

- Javier to Gabe after he refuses to stand watch. (Determinant) Javier and Gabriel have a close relationship that is continuously being tested due to Gabe beginning to go through puberty and the generally stressful situations the two of them find themselves in. After Mariana is killed and Kate is shot Javier has trouble getting through to Gabe after he becomes frustrated with his "failure" to help them, with Gabe preferring to look to his idea of what his father was like for guidance rather than Javier.

Despite their difficulties however, the two are very protective of each other, with Javier making many of his decisions on the basis of protecting Gabe and their family. In "Above the Law", Gabe threatens to kill Conrad if he attacks Javier again. If Javier accepts Conrad's plan to use Clementine as a 'bargaining chip' in "Ties that Bind - Part Two" after Conrad grabs Gabe and holds him at gunpoint and chooses dialogue that shows initialy refusing the plan before then, Javier will apologize to Clementine and say that it wasn't worth Gabe's life to fight with Conrad. Alternatively, Javi can shoot Conrad to save Gabe from being shot.

Tripp
"Oh, there's the Javi I know! Back-stabbing, double-crossing, no-good, dirty fucking murderer!"

- Tripp to Javi. (Determinant)

Tripp and Javier's relationship was rather stable upon first meeting. Tripp showed concern for Javier and his family when it is discovered that they were missing, either learning to trust Javier or become suspicious of him if he defended Clementine (Determinant); if the former, Tripp trust grows if Javier helps get Kate to Prescott. (Determinant)

As time progressed, Tripp and Javier become less hostile, Tripp soon seeing him as a friend and the de facto leader of the group.

However, if Javier killed Conrad in Ties That Bind - Part 2, his relationship with Tripp becomes increasingly strained when during an argument, Gabriel accidentally reveals that Javier was the one who killed Conrad back in the tunnel, which causes a furious Tripp to angrily lash out at Javier for killing his best friend and for lying to him about Conrad's death, despite reasoning that Conrad was holding Gabriel and Clementine at gunpoint, with Clementine defending him. However, despite all this, Tripp declares Javier to be a very dangerous person to be around, and tells him that he doesn't want anything to do with him anymore, believing that Javier has become a liability to the group, claiming that he is just nothing more than a traitor that will just kill anyone whenever he gets the chance to. However, if Conrad was not killed by Javier or he did not lie to him about his fate, the two men will have a strong bond with each other, with Tripp personally talking to Javier about his feelings towards Eleanor. When the group plans to overtake Joan, Tripp will show his support to Javier telling him he has his back no matter what indicating their relationship has grown into a close bond between them.

During the trial of David García, if Javier chooses to spare Ava and killed Conrad and lied about his death, Tripp will express disgust towards Javier, calling him a "backstabbing, double-crossing, no-good, dirty fucking murderer". If the two men have a close bond and Javier chose to save Ava, Tripp will express disappointment to Javi before ironically being saved. Despite his resentment towards Javier, and despite Javier choosing to spare Ava, he still helps him during the ensuing gunfight against the New Frontier no matter what despite their negative relationship ''(Determinant). ''In From The Gallows, Tripp and Javier will make up after Tripp tells Javi he understands things from Javis point of view. Later in the episode, Javier will be visibly saddened after Tripps death.

Conrad
"Conrad! You have no fucking idea how glad I am to see you!"

- Javi to Conrad. (Determinant)

The entire full extent of Javier and Conrad's relationship is entirely determinant if the player keeps Conrad alive throughout the season. Starting out, Javier and Conrad relationship is mostly neutral, initially being on good terms due to playing poker together and Conrad's knowledge of Javier's life before the outbreak. Despite a slight downturn in their relationship due to an incident in Conrad's bar, (Determinant) Conrad trusts Javier enough that he supports him in the defense of Prescott. He freely offers Javier advice and tries to help him with Gabe after he had stormed outside of the walls as "one parent to another".

However, after Francine's death, Conrad becomes cold and hostile towards Javier, blaming the man for her death; he even shoves him at one point in a fit of rage though their relationship will still be content, as Conrad helps Javier up onto the ledge when they are surrounded by walkers, still valuing his life.

Despite this, their relationship meets a turning point in Conrad's desire to make Clementine a hostage due to her past with the New Frontier, Conrad even taking Gabe hostage to persuade Javier. If Javier is against it, (Determinant) any friendship they retained is destroyed when Javier kills him with a bullet to the head. Alternatively, Javier reluctantly trusts Conrad's decision, (Determinant) Their relationship is slightly tense due to Conrad's hostility towards Clementine following this incident. While the group is collecting their weapons following their removal from the new frontier, Javier takes Conrad's pistol and initially offers it back to Conrad. Conrad tells Javi to hold onto it as an apology on what happened back in the tunnel as that wasn't him, burying the hatchet with Javier and Clementine. Sadly, if Javier accepts the gun, Conrad will die later on, getting devoured by walkers. Later on assuming that Conrad was given back his pistol and he survived the walker herd, he will run into Badger again wounded and recall what Badger did to Francine. Javier can show sympathy towards Conrad and allow him to finish off Badger, further strengthening their relationship into a strong one. If he chooses to beat Badger to death and Conrad is present, this could be taken as Javi not only avenging Mariana but Francine as well, since he did show a degree of care towards her before her death and can allow Conrad to blame him for it. (Determinant)

Later on when the entire group is planning to overtake Joan at the town meeting the following morning, Conrad tells everyone he will go off on his own as he doesn't believe the fight with the New Frontier is his fight and he wants to figure himself out first. He hugs Tripp and Eleanor goodbye and gives a nod of approval to Javier before departing. After a firefight breaks out in the town square after the execution of Tripp or Ava, Javier fights a New Frontier soldier before being saved by Conrad who shoots the soldier dead. Javier exclaims how glad he is to see him again before Conrad returns the thoughts and says he came back for him and everyone, showing an extremely close bond between them. If Javier doesn't dodge the truck in time and Conrad is still alive, Conrad will sacrifice himself to save Javi, being hit by the truck, showing that he was willing to risk or give his own life for Javi's.

Francine
"She's innocent in this - you don't have to drag her into our fight."

- Javier to Badger about Francine. (Determinant)

Javier and Francine had a mostly passive relationship, conducting small talk about Javier's past, the man even helping her play poker. (Determinant) Javier can also express concern for Francine's safety by surrendering to Badger so she won't be harmed. (Determinant) Sadly, Francine dies either way. Javier can choose to fight back and say that he will 'kill all of (them)', showing anger towards Badger and the New Frontier for now not only the death of Mariana, but Francine's death as well. (Determinant) If Javier beats Badger's skull in, this could be seen as him avenging Francine as well as Mariana.

Eleanor
"I've got a lot of nerves? Everything that happened is because of you! This is all your fault!"

- Javier yelling at Eleanor about her actions. (Determinant)

Initially, Javier and Eleanor's relationship can either be full of trust or caution. (Determinant) Nonetheless, Eleanor remains flirtatious and welcoming later on, even expressing great concern and care towards Javier, helping him escape from Prescott to find his family and fixing a cut he sustained to his eye. Tripp infers they appear close enough that it reminds him of how he used to be around Eleanor, implying a hint of romantic infatuation. (Determinant)

However, if Javier killed Conrad in Ties That Bind - Part 2, his relationship with Eleanor becomes increasingly strained when during an argument, Gabriel accidentally reveals that Javier was the one who killed Conrad back in the tunnel, which causes Eleanor to be disappointed and disgusted in hearing about the demise of Conrad, despite Javier reasoning that Conrad was holding Gabriel and Clementine at gunpoint, with Clementine defending him. If Conrad wasn't killed however, the two share a close relationship with each other although not much interaction is shown between both of them.

To add to their now acrimonious relationship (Determinant), during the trial of David García at the Town Square, when Javier confronts Joan, Eleanor betrays Javier and the rest of the group, by telling Joan in a conversation about their plans to launch an insurrection against her and the New Frontier.

Max
"We don't need your help."

- Javier to Max before shooting him. (Determinant)

Javier and Max have a mostly neutral although somewhat good relationship. Javi meets him while unknowingly taking gas from a new frontier vehicle, Max accuses him of stealing from them. Despite this Max sympathizes with Javi claiming times are tough now and that he gets it. Javier later meets Max at the New Frontiers gate and eventually lets Javier and the others in, sympathizing with them over Javi's and Gabe's pleads to be led in.

Later on Javier encounters Max working for Joan in a warehouse. David wants to kill him, however Max says he will tell everyone about Joan's involvement on the raids. If Javier spares him he will thank him immensely, alternatively Javier or David can execute him on the spot. (Determinant) If Max was kept alive he will keep true to his word and help Javier and David by exposing to the council Joan's true motives indicating he has compassion towards Javier despite their rough meeting.

"Start talking, or else I promise you, you're gonna scream."

- Javier threatening Max. (Determinant)

Badger
"And now we get to see your head pop, you piece of shit!"

- Javier to Badger. (Determinant)

Javier and Badger have a very hostile and violent relationship, both harboring hatred for one another. Javi deeply despises Badger for ruthlessly murdering Mariana, killing Francine, and causing the destruction of Prescott, killing many of the inhabitants. Badger on the other side seeks vengeance and retribution after Javi killed a number of New Frontier members, some of which were his friends.

In Above The Law, both Javi and Badger engage in a bloody brawl to the death where Javi finally gains the upper hand and has the choice to beat him to death with an aluminium baseball bat, leave him to reanimate or allow Conrad/Tripp to finish him. If Javier chooses to beat him to death, he has the choice to beat him continuously to the point where there is nothing left of Badger's head remains, showing how much hatred he has for the man. Later, if he chose to beat Badger continously, Jesus will call him out on this and ask if 'that' made him feel better, to which Javier can respond angrily saying that it did with no remorse present in his tone, further showing his hatred for Badger, his desire for vengeance, and lack of remorse for his death.

Lonnie
"I'm gonna kill you for this. I swear to god. I'm gonna rip that tongue out of your bullshitting mouth!"

- Javier threating Lonnie. (Determinant)

Although they haven't spoken that much, Javier and Lonnie share a basic uneasy relationship. After Lonnie discovers Kate, Gabriel and Mariana, Javi doesn't hesitate to attack him and the two engage in a scuffle, knocking him out in the process thus further souring their relationship. Later on if Lonnie was killed by David for lying to everyone about Joan, Javier doesn't show much care to Lonnie indicating he didn't think much of him. (Determinant)

Rufus
"I let you go - on the road, remember? Can't you help us now?"

- Javier to Rufus. (Determinant)

Javier and Rufus have a distrustful mostly negative relationship. After Max knocks out Javi, Rufus is tasked to escort him to Richmond and whilst on the road, the pair could have a mini argument and Rufus expressing that he was tempted to put a bullet on Javi after what he did to Lonnie, showing a strong dislike for him. When the truck fatally crashes after an interception by Clementine, Javi manages to steal his gun and can shoot and kill him (Determinant) showing no remorse for it.

If Rufus is spared, he will appear in Thicker Than Water as he and another guard bring Javi and David to the jail cell. When Javi pleads for help, Rufus sarcastically tells the only help he's getting is not getting shot. When Rufus is bitten, Javier later shows concern and can try to save him.

Paul Monroe
"I gotta admit, man... You are a fucking badass! (...) Are you really sure you don't wanna stay? There's room."

- Javier asking Jesus to stay.

At first, Javier is shown to be wary and distrustful of Jesus whether he is a part of The New Frontier but soon learns otherwise and comes to trust in him. After Jesus tells them he is on a mission to find his friends in Richmond and that The New Frontier has taken over Richmond, he helps lead the group to Richmond on a train tunnel. If Javi decides against binding his hands (Determinant), he is thankful to him. After reaching Richmond, he is brought to the quarantine room along with others.

In Above The Law, if Javier decides to beat Badger to death, Jesus will chew him out for doing so (Determinant). He then decides to leave as he has come to the conclusion that the friends he has been searching for are not in Richmond, thanking Javier and the others and bidding goodbye saying he won't forget them.

In From the Gallows, Jesus later returns into Richmond with his people and they start killing the walkers inside. Three days later Javier and Gabe (Determinant) will go outside and thank Jesus for coming back, and helping them make Richmond a better place, showing they have a good relationship. Through dialogue choices, Javier can be implied to be attracted to Jesus and vice versa although this is debatable if the player doesn't choose this option.

Ava
"You don't have to say anything to me. Your actions said plenty. I read you loud and clear."

- Ava to Javier about his decision to save Tripp instead of her. (Determinant)

Javier and Ava are on good terms, or at least on steady ground. While making way to the hospital, David introduces her to Javi and the pair briefly greet each other. Later on, when Javi and the rest are kicked out of the community, Ava rushes out to give him a duffel bag packed by David himself. If you choose to go and help David, she is seen at his house telling Javi to get going and is later present at the meeting. Javi and her work together to slowly fight against the New frontier gathering weapons and a truck. Later on he is shocked to see her executed by Joan indicating Javi did care about her despite her affiliation with the New Frontier. (Determinant)

Joan
"Go to hell, Joan!"

- Javier to Joan before shooting her (Determinant)

Javi and Joan have an extremely hostile relationship with one another due to her being the catalyst and mastermind for the deaths of many of Javi's friends and Mariana's death. Initially they are neutral grounds, however when Javi discovers she is responsible for the raids on other settlements Javi shows nothing but resentment and hatred towards her as she is responsible for the death of his niece, Mariana. Later on when she is at the town square meeting with David held on a noose and with Tripp and Ava held hostage, she will ask Javi who he will save. Whoever Javi picks, Joan tricks Javi and orders the execution of whoever Javi picked to be saved, further enraging Javier, with David telling Javi to shoot Joan. Clint offers Javier the chance to leave, which if chosen, allows David to get free and threaten Joan with Clint held hostage. David kills Clint however Joan will escape with David giving chase. Alternatively Javier can reject the offer, with him choosing to shoot Joan clean straight through the eye, avenging all those she killed and Mariana. (Determinant)

Clinton Barnes
"We're leaving. All of us. Right now."

- Javier to Clint accepting his deal (Determinant)

Javier and Clint haven't interacted much with each other, although their relationship can be slightly strained. Javier can show immense hate to Clint for siding with Joan. In the town meeting after Joan kills Tripp or Ava, Javi can plead to Clint to let them all leave alive with David which he then gives Javi and everyone a chance to do showing his compassion to Javi, although if the deal is taken he will die as David shoots him dead after being freed. If Javi decided to kill Joan instead, Clint escapes, leaving their relationship uncertain.

Paul Lingard
"All right. I'll do it."

- Javi agrees to killing Lingard. (Determinant)

The two don't interact much, however Javier seems to respect him due to him being a medical professional and him saving Kate's life. Later when Javi and Clem find him out cold due to him being high on drugs, he's given the option to euthanize and mercy kill him or keep him alive seeing as it's not necessary to kill him like that.
