Gustavo Orta

Gustavo Orta is a high-ranking member of the Valentinos, and a relative of the gang's leader, Campo Orta.

Biography
Orta and Jackie Welles began life together in the Valentinos, and they became fast friends. As the years went by, Gustavo's ruthlessness and familial ties helped him climb to the peak of the Valentinos' ranks. Although previously known for his lack of mercy towards the Valentinos rivals, and having garnered a name for himself for stamping them out of Heywood, he had recently been seen to be less cruel. His stony nature taking a backseat to a less callous personality, leading him to behave differently.

Gustavo first appears at Jackie's funeral to pay his respects along with a Valentino entourage, including his girlfriend Martha Young. V can toast alongside Orta and his posse in Jackie's name.

Sometime after, the source of his more mellowed behavior was revealed to be that he was dating the daughter of a senior member of the Valentinos' bitter rivals, the 6th Street gang, by the name of Martha Frakes. Unfortunately, during a 6th Street ambush aimed at assassinating Gustavo, Martha was shot in the head during the attack and was hospitalized in a comatose state. The girl's father, Nolan Frakes, blamed Gustavo for his daughter's condition, as he believed he was responsible for her injury, not knowing his daughter would be at the ambush site. For that reason, Nolan hired Padre to contract an assassin to remove Gustavo.

V can accept this contract to eliminate Orta and can take several paths of resolution to do so. V can either enter Orta's apartment by force, stealth, or diplomacy. V has the option to kill Orta but can also render him unconscious and put him in the trunk of the car of one of Padre's employees. However, if V peacefully reaches Gustavo without conflict, they can find Gustavo in his office, where V can speak with him. Orta claims the assault was planned by Nolan to eliminate his daughter's boyfriend, but was unaware that Martha would be there. Gustavo considers himself and Nolan are both equally at fault. V can then convince him to leave Night City, but he will refuse initially, stating that Martha is still his love and can't abandon her, despite her dire condition. V answers that Gustavo is a marked man, others will follow and that, if Martha ever recovers, he won't be there for her. This convinces Gustavo to agree to leave the city, upon which Gustavo will stand down his security detail and surveillance systems, allowing you to leave his apartment peacefully.

However, upon leaving the apartment V will recieve a call soonafter from Padre informing them that Gustavo has killed himself, complimenting V whilst pondering how you convinced him to do it, the quest then completes with the same rewards as if you had killed Orta. You can then take the elevator back up to the apartment to find his body (lootable) dead at his desk.
