A revolutionary, Escuella was a firm idealist who held loyalty above any other virtue and could passionately devote his life to a cause. This allowed him to connect with Dutch, who Javier remained unwaveringly loyal to throughout the time they knew each other. As of 1899, Javier is seen to be friendly with most gang members and possesses a strong sense of camaraderie. He seems to be good friends with John Marston, gladly volunteering to search for him when he goes missing during a snowstorm, stating that if the situations were reversed, John would do the same. The two drift apart later on when John begins to lose faith in Dutch, whom Javier stays loyal to, despite his declining sanity.[5] His closest friendship seems to be with Bill, however, with the two having similar views on Dutch. Additionally, Javier will be the one who tries to rescue Bill if he is captured by bounty hunters, Bill was asked specifically to care for Javier on Guarma, Bill felt he could console Javier in who the “rat” is,[6] and the duo also appear to run off together after the standoff. By 1911, the two still seem to be friends, as Javier helps Bill to escape America and flee to Mexico, when John on the orders of the government begins hunting both of them down. As the gang slowly falls apart, Javier continues supporting Dutch; he also chastises Arthur and John for disapproving of Dutch's decisions and leadership. He ultimately sides with Van der Linde during a confrontation with Arthur and John, albeit reluctantly. During this standoff, he is the only member to side with Dutch that does not aim his weapon directly at Arthur and John, instead pointing it upwards, indicating some remaining fondness or at least neutrality towards the duo. However, the slowly revealing insanity of Javier's mentor and role model had a big effect on him; Javier begins losing trust in anyone not faithful to Dutch, and Arthur notes how Javier had changed after the latter had an argument with Charles.[7] John says to Abraham Reyes in 1911: “When Dutch lost his mind, Javier took it harder than any of us. It’s like all he ever believed in turned out to be a fraud". John also assesses that Escuella was a complex and paradoxical figure who was more misanthropic underneath than he appeared, stating him to be "a cynic who desperately wanted to be a romantic" and a "torn man" despite being a revolutionary and idealist who was committed to making the world a better place. In his spare time, Javier can frequently be seen playing guitar and singing for members of the Van der Linde gang, especially during meals and parties. His passion for music is exemplified further in his tendency to compose his own songs, which delights his comrades since it means he can vary the entertainment he provides for them very frequently. However, Javier is shown to be quite vain, always being impeccably dressed wherever possible and taking pride in his appearance. He also doesn’t take kindly to any form of mockery or disrespect, holding a knife to Bill’s throat upon being called a “greaser”,[8] threatening to fillet Sean with a knife after being made fun of[9] and punching Micah in the face after being told to “fuck off back to Mexico”.[10] Over a decade later in 1911, Javier is working as a hitman for the ruthless tyrant Colonel Allende, a stark contrast to his younger self who was critical of tyrannical governments. It is also implied several times that Javier has built up a bad reputation in Nuevo Paraíso within the intervening years. A prostitute in Casa Madrugada comments "I wouldn't spit on him if he was on fire." when John Marston merely mentions his name to her. In another instance Landon Ricketts mentions Javier's name to Luisa Fortuna. She responds "I remember that name from prison. Bad people spoke of him." When Javier is confronted at gunpoint by John in El Presidio, he initially acts very placid and cooperative. He attempts to calm John down by claiming that the gang didn't leave him to die all those years ago and offers him Dutch's supposed whereabouts. However, Javier's initial cooperativeness seems to be mostly based in deception rather than genuine sympathy, as he quickly takes the opportunity to knock John off balance by pushing a crate onto him then escaping out a window. When John pursues him, Javier has no hesitation in drawing his revolver and shooting at his former brother in arms while insulting him repeatedly. If Javier is captured instead of killed, he angrily threatens John and curses his family while being locked in a cell.
