Basilio is the last party member that you can recruit during the succession tournament. While he will show up as an enemy at first, he will change sides after spending some time with your group. After awakening his Archetype, you can start forming a follower bond with Basilio in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Since he is the last ally you can recruit, leveling up his bond will be a race against time since you have to increase it before you face the final boss.
