Javier García (TWDG)

Hi

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.
