Gustavo Orta

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

Biography
Orta started out in the gang with Jackie Welles and they became friends. Years went by and Gustavo's ruthlessness helped him climb to the peak of the Valentinos' ranks. He used to be known for not showing any mercy to his rivals, and stomping them out of Heywood. Recently, though, his stony nature has taken a backseat and he has been behaving differently.

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

Sometime after, the source of his strange behavior was revealed to be that he was dating a 6th Street ganger by the name of Martha Frakes. Unfortunately, she was shot in the head when a group of 6th Streeters assaulted the couple, and is now at the hospital. The girl's father, Nolan Frakes, blamed Gustavo as he believed he was responsible for her injury. For that reason, the Nolan hired Padre to kill Gustavo.

V can take up the contract to take care of Orta. V an can entire either by force, stealth, or talking their way in. V has the option to kill him but he can also knock Gustavo out and put him in the trunk of the car of one of Padre's employees. However, if V peacefully snuck or talked their way in without any conflict, they can find Gustavo in his office, having the chance to talk. Orta thinks the assault was planned by Nolan to get rid of his daughter's boyfriend, but he didn't know Martha would be there. Gustavo considers himself and Nolan are at fault. V can then convince him to leave Night City, but he will refuse at first, stating that Martha is still his love and can't abandon her. V answers that if he stays he will probably die, and if Martha recovers, she won't have the chance to be with him. This finally convinces Gustavo to leave the city.

If Gustavo survived, Padre will make up a lie, stating that Orta killed himself. With this, Gustavo won't have to worry about any more assassins.

Database Entry

 * Open an enciclopedia and flip to the "Valentinos". You should find a picture of Gustavo Orta - or more likely his mugshot. But who reads encyclopedias these days anyway? Just one look at Gustavo Orta and you know he's a Velentino inside out. His style could be characterized as ruthless - a trait that's certainly helped him climb at the peak of the gang's ranks. Recently, however, Gustavo has been acting... strangely. If the rumors are true, he spends more time silently contemplating the water in the bay than doing what he's been known and feared for - brutally stomping out his rivals in Heywood.
