Javier García (Video Game)

"If you find him, and he is happy? Let him be happy. Leave him be."

- Javier to Clementine about AJ. (Determinant)

Javier García, also known as Javi, is the protagonist of Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: Season Three. A former professional baseball player, Javi'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.

Overview
Javi 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, Javi 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, Javi 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 Javi 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, Javi did not display true leadership skills until several years had passed in the apocalypse. It was revealed through dialogue that Javi 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 Javi's neglect of the family.

The player can determine whether or not Javi 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.

Javi 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
Javi was a professional baseball player in Baltimore, possibly under the jersey number 25 (which he is seen wearing in the extended preview). However, he was expelled from the league 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, Javi 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 Javi that their father had died shortly before he arrived. Devastated, Javi 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. Javi either furthered his apology or permitted David to beat him as punishment. (Determinant)

Before Javi could be hurt further, David's son Gabe came outside and asked what they were doing. Javi made up an excuse, meeting Kate who told him his mother needed him. Once inside, Javi was smacked by his mother who also chastised him for not being there for her husband. Javi 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. Javi watched as Hector approached and asked how it was possible that he is alive. The now zombified Salvador starts attacking Hector, with Javi and David immediately restraining their father. Their mother asked what they were doing, believing that her husband is still alive, only to get bitten. Amidst the chaos that followed, Javi reluctantly killed his zombified father.

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

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

Returning back to their van, they depart while Mariana and Gabe sleep in the back. Driving down the road, they discuss the herd and Kate begins to smoke weed, Javi either scolding her or partaking in it (Determinant). They discuss David (who we learn has not been seen since the incident with the men's father) and the children, with Kate expressing her worries about Gabe's recent attitude, and Javi putting it down to puberty. Their talk eventually wakes the children, who notice the smell of weed regardless of Javi admitting to it or not (Determinant). The family reach a junkyard, where Javi decides they should search for supplies.

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

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

Waking up, Javi finds himself in a 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 with 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, Javi takes a gun and exits the truck; his former guard stumbling out also. As the man starts running away, Javi 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 Javi 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 Javi's backpack, claiming that it is payment for saving him. As she attempts to leave, ordering him to close his eyes and count to a hundred, Javi explains his situation and begs to know where the junkyard is 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 his van. Javi can either agree or disagree though Clementine reveals he has no choice (Determinant).

The duo begin walking down the road, with a manacled Javi attempting to make small talk about their situation. However, they notice a herd of walkers, prompting Clementine to declare that they should head to a nearby town to get shelter. until it passes. 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 fight the walkers, Clementine switches to her handgun only to find the bullets not working; Javi can shoot the walker attacking her or allow Clementine to save herself (Determinant). Tripp soon opens the gate to let them in, simultaneously letting in a rider named Francine.

The gate keeper introduced himself as Tripp; he warns them not to cause any trouble during their stay as the duo ente Prescott. Once inside the town, Clementine explains Prescott's history. The town used to be an old airstrip that turned into a town after the apocalypse. Clementine leads Javi toward the bar to talk to a person about her bullets. Before leaving him in the bar, Clementine suggests Javi go and make some friends. Heading toward the bar desk, Javi finds the barkeeper playing poker with Francine. The man introduces himself as Conrad. Conrad, the owner of the bar, recognizes Javi. He remembers the news about how he got banned from baseball due to betting on himself. Javi builds a rapport with the pair and attempts to help Francine win a game of poker against Conrad (the cards will alter meaning Francine always loses no matter which option the player chooses). Conrad gives Javi a drink for his help in allowing Conrad to win, when they are interrupted by Clementine arguing with someone at a table.

Javi approaches and asks what is going on. Clementine explains 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 turns violent when Clementine proved her point by shooting the defective bullets at Eli. Eli asks sarcastically if Javi is Clementine's bodyguard, to which he either says that he is, or that she doesn't need one (Determinant). Javi defends Clementine as Eli tried to knife her. He receives a cut at the corner of his eye before disarming the man. Getting more irate, Clementine continues to fire the defective bullets at Eli to prove her point. The argument ends when one of the defective bullets turns out to be working and Clementine inadvertently shoots Eli through the forehead. Horrified, Clementine begs Javi to cover for her. Conrad enters with his shotgun and furiously demands that Clementine drop her gun. Tripp soon appears and demanded to know what is going on.

If Javi chooses to cover Clementine: Javi covers for Clementine and claims that she was justified. He claims that Eli attacked them first and showed his wound as proof. Tripp puts them both into lock-up until he figures out what to do with them. Once locked up, Tripp scolds Javi but relents and tells Javi that he will get someone to look at his eye before leaving. Clementine thanks Javi for having her back at the hanger, but she tells Javi not to expect that it will make them friends. Nevertheless, the relationship between them will be more positive. Eleanor, an EMT, comes to the cage and begins treating Javi's wound. Tripp soon returns and tells 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 instead.

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

The next day, Javi reaches the junkyard with Clementine and Eleanor/Tripp, (Determinant), finding Mariana's tape player. Javi calls Mariana's name and Mariana emerges from a hiding place and is reunited with Javi. She explains that she got separated from Kate and Gabriel when the herd showed up. They began looking for Kate and Gabe and eventually find them inside a truck surrounded by walkers. After dispatching the walkers, the reunited family begin leaving the junkyard. Javi has the option to kiss Kate upon their reunion.

As they start leaving, Mariana finds her headphones on the ground and smiles back at her family. As she does so, she gets shot through the head by the same hostile group of survivors from the night before. Led by a man, the hostile group begin shooting at them. Javi ducks for cover. When Kate tries to get to Mariana's body, she gets shot in the abdomen. This prompts Gabe to rush to her defense; Javi can either help them or return fire (Determinant).

As the group regroup under cover, Tripp/Eleanor urge them to retreat back to Prescott so they can get Kate medical help. Clementine suggests that her and Javi should stay behind and fight to end the group's threat.

If Javi retreats: Javi agrees to Tripp/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) Javi looks at Mariana's body one last time before retreating. The episode ends as Kate loses consciousness as Javi desperately pleads her to wake up.

If Javi stays behind to fight: Javi agrees to Clementine's suggestion to stay and fight. He tells Gabe to help Tripp/Eleanor take Kate away as he stays behind. Once the family leaves, Javi and Clementine fire back at their attackers. One of them throws a grenade at them. The episode ends with Javi throwing the grenade back at them or tackling Clementine to protect her from the blast.

"Ties That Bind - Part 2"
In a flashback from before the Apocalypse, Javi was staying in David's house. He had just lost his career as a professional baseball player. Kate was washing the dishes as Javi approached; he wanted to help. Kate politely declined and said he was family. They talked about his current situation. Javi was worried about his future due to his action of betting on himself. They talked about David and how he had an issue with Javi's presence. Javi 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. Javi moved to help her and held stop the bleeding. David came in and saw either Javi holding Kate's hand or not (Determinant).

When David saw his army glass broken, he got mad at Kate. David then turned his attention to Javi. He was angry at Javi for judging him.

Tell him off: Javi 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 replied that in three days time, Javi will leave his house. Once David leaves the kitchen, Kate reprimanded Javi for his blunt words before leaving him alone.

Let it go: If Javi 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 Javi that she can handle him and that his mood will pass.

The game then returns to the present day.

If Javi stayed behind to fight: Javi regains consciousness. He found himself on the ground and a walker crawling towards him. Clementine shoots the walker and advises Javi to take it easy. She explains that their attackers got away. Javi remembers Mariana, whose corpse is nearby. Clementine tells him that she has already dug a grave for her. Javi carried his niece's corpse as Clementine leads him to the grave. He lays her corpse in the grave and, after some last words, begins filling her grave. He can either keep her tape player or leave it with Mariana. If he keeps it, later he can either keep it for himself or give it to Gabe.

Clementine thanks Javi for staying and states that he probably saved her life. Their attention turns toward a sound nearby. They find one of the attackers now zombified. Javi kills the walker. He notices that the walker had a brand scorched into his flesh; the same brand that the hostile group had. Clementine reveals her knowledge about them. The group is called The New Frontier and she has had encounters with them. Clementine drives Javi back to Prescott in one of the cars left behind by the New Frontier.

If Javi went back to Prescott: Back at Prescott, Javi and Gabe are at Kate's side as Eleanor does surgery on her wound. After much effort, Eleanor manages to take out the bullet inside Kate. Amidst the surgery, Gabe can either stay or get told to leave (Determinant). If Gabe stayed, he accidentally applies alcohol to Kate's wound instead of water, which causes her pain. Ashamed by his mistake, Gabe leaves (Determinant).

Eleanor advises Javi that although Kate is stable, she is still bleeding inside and it is only a matter of time before she dies. She suggested that he go and search for Gabe. Javi finds Gabe outside the gate, furiously stabbing a walker. Javi comforts his nephew about the recent events. Gabe says that he wants 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. They then spot Clementine returning with a car or trucks approaching (Determinant).

Retreating back to the gate, Javi goes to the lookout where Conrad and Tripp are already armed with guns. Max appears with Badger, the man who led the attack on the junkyard, and a group of The New Frontier. Max demands that Javi surrender himself due to his action against their group. Badger pushes the issue when he reveals that Francine is now their hostage. Either Javi can comply to their demands or he can start firing his guns (Determinant). The confrontation turns violent either way and Francine gets shot and killed. Badger disobeys Max's authority and orders the truck loaded with walkers to ram Prescott's gate, causing a massive breech and resulting into total carnage. Javi and his group manage to flee the ruined town in a set of cars, as the rest of the residents get killed or captured by the New Frontiers.

Stopping at the road to regroup, the group deal with their current situation. After defusing a tense moment with Conrad who blames Javi for Francine's death, Clementine suggests that they should head to the community in Richmond to look for shelter and medical aid for a still-ailing Kate. With a destination in mind, the group quickly move on.

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

The next morning, the group arrive at an abandoned gas station. Tripp signals them to stop due to their path being blocked by cars. After assessing the area, Javi finds an abandoned jeep with a winch in a garage. Using a jumper cable he finds in an abandoned car, he powers the jeep by connecting it to Tripp's car. As the blocked cars get pulled out of the way, the noise attracted the attention of a large group of walkers. After clearing a road for Eleanor, Javi orders her to quickly take Kate to Richmond. Before the remaining survivors can escape in Tripp's car, the winch pulls another vehicle into it.

Javi quickly orders his friends to head toward the roofs of the gas station to escape the walkers, and nearly gets bitten before Conrad pulls him out of harm's way. On top of the roof, the group begin arguing about their current situation. Their argument stopped when both Javi and Tripp realize that someone was watching them from roof of another building. The group immediately take cover. Javi sneaks out to find the stranger. When he reaches the other building by using the bridge, Javi 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, Javi discovers that the figure was a decoy. Upon hearing a safety click off, Javi 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. Javi can choose to threaten him or try to reassure him that he would suffer no harm in regards to Javi's group after he is asked about whether or not they would shoot at him.

The group come to Javi's aid and surround the stranger. He surrenders and the group began questioning if he is with the New Frontier, even searching him for the distinctive brand (Determinant). The man denies that he is part of the group. He reveals that he was heading to Richmond when he heard that the New Frontier took over. Realizing that Kate and Eleanor are heading into danger, the group need to catch up with their friends. The man offers to join them and lead them to Richmond through a train tunnel. Javi can either decide to tie the man or trust him (Determinant). Before heading out, the man introduces himself as Paul, but that his friends call him Jesus.

After having walked through the tunnel for a time, Clementine asks Javi for his attention. She explains that she hasn't told the whole truth about her encounters with the New Frontier. She revealed that she wasn't their prisoner, but was a member of the group. She showed her brand as proof, much to Javi's shock. She explains that if the group is in control of Richmond, she can't 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. This section of the tunnel turns out to be filled with walkers. After Conrad impulsively started shooting the walkers and thus alerting the herd to the group, Javi and the other fight their way toward the end of the tunnel. The path is blocked by an abandoned train. Javi manages to break the door to a carriage and stays with Clementine and Gabe to block the door as the rest of the group move ahead to clear a path.

Javi succeeds in blocking the train door and, as they are about to leave, Conrad appears and points a gun at Clementine. He reveals 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 in turn warns them that the New Frontier won't bargain with them. The confrontation turns heated when Conrad grabs Gabe at gunpoint as captive and threatens to kill him if Javi doesn't comply.

Agreeing to Conrad's plan: Javi apologizes to Clementine as he turns his gun at her. Clementine either gets furious and berates Javi 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. Gabe also scolds Javi, calling him a coward; Javi defends his action, claiming it is best for Kate (Determinant).

Shoots Conrad: Javi shoots Conrad in the head, killing him. Clementine urges them to leave and that she will find her own way before leaving. Javi briefly consoles a shocked Gabe 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 find Kate still inside the car, but Eleanor nowhere in sight. Kate explains that she went to get help, but never returned. Seeing no other option, Javi carries Kate towards Richmond's entrance.

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

The gate of Richmond opens as one of the New Frontier's leaders walks out, demanding to know what is going on. Javi realizes 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, Clementine 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, Clementine 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.

They get inside, and are greeted by Kate/Gabe. Javier, Ava, and Gabe go to the armory and run into Bob. Ava distracts Bob meanwhile Javi and Gabe sneak into the armory and hides from the guard Gabe will run out and attack him, the guard fights back and Javi steps in and fights the guard, before Javi knocks him out the guard has a chance of stabbing Javi in the arm. Ava comes back and tells Javi to put him in the locker, Javi goes to Dr.Lingard and will see Clementine looking for medicine for her "Incident". If Javi was stabbed in the arm by the guard, Clementine will patch his wound up for him. 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. You can accept his deal, or you can shoot Joan in the eye. Either way, a shootout ensues and Kate will come in the truck crashing into a gas tank and the Richmond walls will blow up leading to walkers getting inside.

"From The Gallows"
The Episode starts off in a flashback where David, Javier, and Salvador are playing dominos. Javi will lose and gets Salavador's wallet, he sees a white piece of paper, David takes it and says he has cancer, Javi will have a choice to tell his father to "Fight It" or "It's your life", which means he won't fight. After the flashback, Javi will be attacked by two guards and will take over, he shoots two walkers and checks the truck to look for Kate, but she is not there. Then he meets up with David and looks to find Kate. David sees a walker that looks like Kate and the walker attacks him. Javi tries to pull the walker back, until Kate comes and stabs the walker. They soon see Clementine and Gabe fighting walkers, they take shelter in a building. David, Gabe, and Clem go check the exits while Kate and Javi go upstairs and see people wounded from the explosion. They go into a room and see Eleanor, Fern, and Rufus (Determinant) if Javi did not kill Rufus in episode 1. Fern will ask Javi if he can saw off Rufus's arm, if you choose to do that Rufus will scream in pain and bleed out and die, then begin to turn. The others come in and see what happened. Fern will take a shot and threatens the group, saying that they killed her little girl and her husband is now dead because of Javi. David will break her arm and head up to the roof, Javi will confront him saying David has found a way to get out of Richmond. Javi can choose to stand on the roof with David or stay back. If he stands with him, it improves their relationship. The others come up, and save Ava or Tripp. (Determinant)

The group will go on their way to the water tower and get a vehicle, they have to cross a car, Javi will fall and Ava saves him (if she is still alive), but before Ava can say anything she gets grabbed by a walker and falls to her death. They soon come across a helicopter and have to cross that, once everyone is across, if you decided to save Tripp he will stay behind and shoot walkers, then a walker grabs him and he falls to his death. They soon reach the water tower where they get a vehicle, Javi and David will then fight over Kate loving Javi more. Javi has a choice to fight or keep his promise to his father, saying to David that he loves him. David yells at him, saying he doesn't get to say it. Gabe attempts to intervene but is accidentally hit by David. Clementine will then either shoot at David or hold him at gunpoint. David then takes Gabe and drives away from the garage. Who Clementine goes after is dependant on past choices and how good Javi's relationship with her is. At this point the player now has a choice that can affect the survival of Kate, David and Gabe:

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), Max (Determinant), Kate (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..

He is never seen again after the events of Richmond, but it is confirmed he is still alive.

Relationships
{{scroll-1|

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) Otherwise she will be deeply upset and disappointed with him. (Determinant) When the New Frontier attacked them on the junkyard, she will ask Javier to stay with her and fight off their attackers. When Javier decides to rather stay with his family she will tell him to go and even insists him in doing so when he hesitates. (Determinant) If he stays with her, he will save her from being killed by a grenade. She will than save him from a walker and later thank him for staying with her, stating that he probably saved her life. (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 upset and more hostile towards him if he complies with Conrad's demands. (Determinant) When Max asks them about what Clementine is for them and he calls her a friend however, she will sadly look at him. (Determinant)

In "Above The Law", she saved him from two walkers and helps him stand up again, jokingly saying that he should be more careful with his baseball bat. When Javier shot Conrad in the previous episode, she will react with surprise about David being his brother. (Determinant) After she told him and his group about how she and AJ became separated, he can show compassion with her and embrace her (Determinant), which she appreciates. When Javier is about to let David in the warehouse however, she doesn't hesitates to threaten him with her gun and even made a warning shot, but she still begged him not to make her shoot him. Javier can now either obey, which calms her down (Determinant) or ignore her, which makes her angry but Jesus will disarm her before she can do anything. (Determinant)

If Javier killed Badger (Determinant), she will defend him from Jesus, saying that he did the right thing and that he deserves her trust. (Determinant) When she's about to depart from the group, she will warn Javier about trusting David but still says that she believes that he will make the right call, showing that she trusts his judgement. They than depart on good terms.

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 or tell her that he owes her one.

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 favoured 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 a park, David notifies Javier that he wishes to re-enlist in the army and wants Javier to look after Mariana, 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 other's backs. If Javier chose to attempt to escape 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 either 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 and that he trusts him.

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 demand justice for Mariana's murder, 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 Javier defends himself by 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 angrily to this, saying that he doesn't get to say her name and her death is on him because his men killed her, 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 2" after Conrad grabs Gabe and holds him at gunpoint and the player chooses dialogue that shows initially 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, Javier 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 if he chose to spare Ava during David Garcia's trial. (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 strained when during an argument, Gabe accidentally reveals that Javier 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, their relationship becomes even more strained as Tripp expresses utter contempt 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 his disappointment towards 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 make amends towards each other after Tripp tells Javi he understands things from his point of view. Later in the episode, Javier will be visibly saddened after Tripp's 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's 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 him 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) Nevertheless, he will be shocked alongside Tripp when Javier crushes Badger's skull, as he can't believe what his friend has become like. (Determinant) The same happens again when Javier shoots Max. (Determinant) When David asks Javier for help against Joan and he demands no more quarantine and first class treatment for him and his friends when they get there, Conrad will gratefully smile at him and gives him an not of agreement. (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. (Determinant)

In "From The Gallows" if Conrad is still alive, Javier can see him sitting outside the church, loudly reading a book to himself. When asked about the book, Conrad will tell him that it's an book about Cowboy's Francine always wanted him to read. If Javier tells him that Francine had a good taste, Conrad will jokingly ask him not to tell Francine. (Determinant)

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 hostile, as during an argument, Gabriel accidentally reveals that Javier 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 more insult than injury 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.

In "From The Gallows", their hostile relationship becomes even more strained, as when he and Kate encounter Eleanor in the apartment, Eleanor is dismayed that they had the nerve to show up, and she and Javier start arguing over her betrayal. She holds a grudge towards Javier for killing Conrad, while Javier lashes out at her for betraying them to Joan. If Tripp was killed in "Thicker Than Water", she also blames him for it, and Javier can counter back saying Tripp cared for her, but she didn't return it. Kate then tries to talk Javier into forgiving Eleanor regardless of her betrayal. If Javier chooses to condemn her and doesn't at all forgive her, he tells Eleanor that he cannot forgive her for her betrayal and that she can just go to hell and not wanting anything to with her anymore, with Eleanor feeling sorry that he feels that way.

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

- Javier threatening Max when he's hesistant to keep true to his word. (Determinant)

Javier and Max have a mostly hostile 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, but still punshes him, thinking that he's lying. 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, but is still hesistant to do so, due there previous encounter and orders them to lower there guns.

When Clint invites him to tell the council about his encounter with Javi, he will accuse him of having stolen their gas and about him having murdered Rufus/cooperating with the thief Clementine. Javi at this point can angrily defend himself by telling the council that Max was involved with the destruction of Prescott and is befriended with the murderer of his niece Mariana. (Determinant) Max will be shocked by this and desperately try to defend himself. Nethertheless he causes Javi and his group to be kicked out of Richmond.

Later on Javier encounters Max in a warehouse and discovers that Max was responsible for multible of raids on other communities, being ordered to do so by Joan. 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, claiming that they don't need his help and showing no remorse for doing so. (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. It's unknown were they stand to each other afterwards, due to them not interacting anymore, but it can be assumed that Javi is responsible for him and Lonnie to be kicked out of Richmond, but with a fair chance of survival.

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 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 continuously, 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 cementing 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. (Determinant)

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 Javi chooses 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, and 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.}}
