Appearance
Joaquin has brown eyes and brown hair. He wears a grey suit with a white shirt and a blue-ish, green, striped tie.

Personality
According to Henry, he's a master tactician, and getting information on him is hard. He keeps his cards close and is a people pleaser. Although he flirts with you and makes innuendos, you find him mischievous yet hard to read despite him telling you during certain times that he is being honest.

Your Character
You first meet him at the bar after your stolen identity case. He flirts with you and you have the option to hook up with him on a random yacht. The next day you see him at McGraw Byrne and find out Martin had hired him. While he at first took joy in messing with you, he tries to convince you that he is on your side and reveals some information to you.

Whether or not you return his flirtations, Joaquin continues to pursue you superficially, explaining that Martin considers you to be the former's booty call and would not expect him to divulge anything to help you professionally.

Martin Vanderweil
Martin and Joaquin graduated from Yale together, and Martin is the one that hires him. In Chapter 9, Joaquin admits to you that while he and Martin did go to school together, they are not friends. He admits that he can't stand Martin and thinks he doesn't even know what the word "friend" means. Martin liked to embarrass their classmates in front of professors, which caused Joaquin to dislike him. But he was hired because Martin offered a large amount of money to mess with you.

Although Joaquin is the person who brought Calvin Colby as a client to McGraw Byrne, Martin takes over handling all of Calvin's needs. Joaquin doesn't appear to be upset by it, and it doesn't appear that Martin ever becomes wise to Joaquin's motives or manipulations when it comes to helping you with your case.
