The Backstory of Javier Escuella

The Backstory of Javier Escuella

Javier Escuella was born in Nuevo Paraíso, Mexico. Javier's father was a drunkard who worked as a laborer on land owned by Allende's uncle. When he was a boy, Escuella witnessed his uncle and four other men castrated and fed to pigs because they suggested the villagers demand a fair wage. Eventually, Javier became a notorious bounty hunter and revolutionary, fighting against what he saw as a corrupt system. He ended up killing a powerful, former military man in Punta Orgullo over a woman he was in love with. Fearing that his loved ones would suffer if he remained in Mexico, Javier fled to America. However, he could not speak any English and ultimately became feeble and starved.

In 1895, while attempting to steal some chickens, Javier came across Dutch van der Linde doing the same. They both laughed, and Dutch fed and clothed Javier, offering him a spot in the Van der Linde gang. Escuella felt an immediate affinity with the gang and its ideals; he came to see the gang as his family and his true home, while especially idolising Dutch as a revolutionary paragon and becoming fiercely loyal to him. Javier functioned as a gunman for the gang and was involved in a number of robberies and various other crimes across the frontier. One notable example is a bank robbery in Tucson, Arizona, which Javier robbed with Arthur and Karen. At some point, Escuella heard that his mother had died and that his sister had married. Despite deeply missing them both, he couldn't go back to Mexico because he would most likely be killed if discovered.

Sometime prior to 1899, Javier and Arthur attempted to rob a stagecoach after receiving tips from a crooked lawman in Reno, Nevada. However, they decided to let the stagecoach go when they found out that it was full of women and children. To their disappointment, that stagecoach was robbed by the O'Driscoll Boys the very next day, who had all its passengers murdered.

By 1899, the gang had fled east and ended up in the state of West Elizabeth. They had been camping outside of the town of Blackwater when Dutch caught wind of a boat carrying an immense amount of money. The gang attempted to rob the boat, but the heist went wrong when Pinkerton agents showed up. Javier witnessed Dutch murder a young mother named Heidi McCourt and participated in the huge gunfight that ensued. The gang subsequently made a desperate escape to the north, ending up in the snowy mountains of Ambarino.

哈维尔·埃斯库埃拉:背景故事

哈维尔·埃斯库埃拉出生于墨西哥新帕拉伊索。 哈维尔的父亲是个酒鬼，在阿连德叔叔拥有的土地上当工人。 当埃斯库埃拉还是个孩子的时候，他亲眼目睹了他的叔叔和另外四个男人被阉割并喂猪，因为他们建议村民要求公平的工资。 最终，哈维尔成为一名臭名昭著的赏金猎人和革命者，与他认为的腐败体系作斗争。 他最终在蓬塔奥古洛杀死了一名有权有势的前军人，因为他爱上了一个女人。 哈维尔担心如果他留在墨西哥，他的亲人会受苦，因此逃到了美国。 然而，他不会说英语，最终变得虚弱和饥饿。

1895 年，哈维尔在试图偷鸡时，遇到了达奇范德林德 (Dutch van der Linde) 也在做同样的事情。 他们俩都笑了，达奇为哈维尔提供了食物和衣服，并为他提供了范德林德帮中的一席之地。 埃斯库埃拉立即对这个帮派及其理想产生了亲近感。 他开始将这个帮派视为自己的家人和真正的家，同时特别崇拜荷兰人作为革命典范，并对他变得非常忠诚。 哈维尔作为该团伙的枪手，参与了多起边境抢劫和其他犯罪活动。 一个著名的例子是哈维尔与亚瑟和凯伦一起抢劫亚利桑那州图森市的银行。 在某个时候，埃斯库埃拉听说他的母亲去世了，他的妹妹结婚了。 尽管他深深地想念他们俩，但他无法回到墨西哥，因为如果被发现他很可能会被杀。

1899 年之前的某个时间，哈维尔和亚瑟收到内华达州里诺市一名不法执法人员的举报后，试图抢劫一辆驿站马车。 然而，当他们发现公共马车上载满了妇女和儿童时，他们决定让这辆驿马车开走。 令他们失望的是，那辆驿站马车第二天就被奥德里斯科尔男孩抢劫，并杀害了所有乘客。

1899 年，该团伙向东逃亡，最后到达西伊丽莎白州。 当荷兰人听到风声说一艘载有巨额金钱的船时，他们正在黑水镇外露营。 该团伙试图抢劫这艘船，但当平克顿特工出现时，抢劫发生了。 哈维尔目睹了荷兰人谋杀了一位名叫海蒂·麦考特的年轻母亲，并参与了随后发生的大规模枪战。 随后，这伙人绝望地向北逃亡，最终来到了安巴里诺的雪山。
