Basilio will compete against the player in games of Liar's Dice or Five Finger Fillet in Escalera. Other than that, he can be found working as a blacksmith in the livery or taking a smoke break nearby.
He can also occasionally be found in a random encounter where soldiers of the Mexican Army have bound his hands and are about to shoot him in the back, possibly because he is suspected of supporting the rebels. Saving him will earn the player Honor.

Trivia[]
- He shares the same character model as Agusto Palacios, but the two aren't as easily mistaken, as Agusto will only appear to challenge the player to a duel anywhere in Nuevo Paraíso, while Basilio never appears outside of Escalera.
