History
Background
Throughout The Series
Advising Melanie
Javier is a member of the elite train management, and often helps with the driving of the train. He uses advanced algorithms to predict the environment surrounding Snowpiercer at all times. From these predictions, he advised Melanie Cavill that without cutting Snowpiercer's power by 12%, they would not make it through the mountain unscathed. Melanie ignored Javier, and the hull in AgSec was breached causing mass-freezing.[1]
He is later shown to be proficient in driving the train and, whilst he doesn't always agree with Melanie (and Bennett's) way of doing things, he advises them and goes along. When the hydraulic system fails causing a seizure on the brakes, Javi takes control of the train and warns Melanie that they won't make it over the bridge unless the hydraulics are fixed. He lowers the speed of the train in fear, but is over joyous when Melanie is able to fix the system and the train can return to running speed.[2]
