Javier Garcia (TWDG)

Javier García, also known as Javi, is the protagonist of A New Frontier and a survivor of the outbreak in Telltale's The Walking Dead. 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. Javi was a professional baseball player[2] in Baltimore, possibly under the jersey number 25 (which he is seen wearing in the extended preview). On his team, he played shortstop. 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. Javier and David both decide to spend time together at a carnival, and play baseball against softball pitching machines. David is obviously less skilled than his brother, and isn't able to hit a single ball. Javier can either continue to instigate his brother by striking the ball and hitting it out of the park while complimenting himself and calling out David for being bad at the game, or intentionally miss. Either way, David is angered by Javier's constant prodding or taking it easy on him, and while he is distracted gets hit by a ball and steps out of the ring while Javier attempts to catch up. The two brothers argue, and David asks Javier to make a promise that he will support Gabe, Mariana, and Kate if David is gone. Javier can either promise to do so, or refuse responsibility and claim it's David's responsibility. At some point in time Kate slowly tries to start an affair with Javier, something Javier can object to in favor of respecting his brother and the sanctity of marriage, or indulge himself into by showing affection to her. Either way Kate admits she wants to leave David, who suddenly appears and starts to question what the two are doing while accusing Javi of judging everyone but himself and being the "idiot fuck-up". Javi can get back at David's rant and mistreatment of Kate by telling him that she's going to leave him or he can admit that David's right and apologize for the broken glass. Evidently due to his gambling issues, Javier is bankrupt to the point that he can't even pay David $10 for a lost game of dominoes. After his father offers to pay the bet for him, this leads to Javier going in his father's wallet for the cash before discovering a cancer diagnosis inside. Both brothers are saddened and shocked that their father didn't tell them, but Salvador stands on his decision and says that "old people get cancer" dismissing it as just something that happens. 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. 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. 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
