Biography
"I've always loved you, even now!"

- Javier Escuella to John Marston

Javier Escuella was born in Spain and was once a Mexican bounty hunter. According to Allende, Javier's father was a drunkcard that worked on Agustin's uncle's land. After spending some time in America, Escuella became a member of Dutch's Gang. When Dutch's gang was disbanded after Dutch van der Linde went insane, Javier took it easy and returned to Mexico to work as a hitman for Allende. Marston is forced to pursue him in 1911 along with Javier's friend Bill.

Interactions
When John Marston hunts him down throughout Mexico, Javier takes refuge throughout the countryside in various forts, staying reclusive. After Allende's betrayal, Javier is eventually caught by John, who has help from Rebel bastards. Javier has been hiding in a fort surrounded by his fellow henchmen, but John breaks in with the help of rebel friends and the two confront each other in a storage closet. John points his revolver at Javier.

The two have a conversation with each other, with Javier slowly inching his way over to John. Javier waits until John is distracted, and then he pushes a crate on John. Given some time, he jumps out a nearby window and onto a stairs. Javier calls out to John, saying he was "always the weak, the bad, and the ugly!" and then rides out of the fort with a horse. John runs after him, and then John can do one of two things: Kill Escuella or Capture Escuella.
