Ortega is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series, appearing as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto V.
Biography
Events of Grand Theft Auto V
Ortega is a major figure in the Varrios Los Aztecas outfit and operates out of a trailer near the banks of the Zancudo River. His power extends throughout, as he and his gang control the drug and gun trades in Blaine County, working alongside Trevor Philips Enterprises and the Blaine County Chapter of The Lost MC until the event of GTA V.
Sometime in 2013, Trevor Phillips launches a war between himself and the local Lost chapter after killing their leader, Johnny Klebitz, as well as a more than a few high ranking members; once he has wiped out the club's Stab City headquarters, he decides to put an end to the Aztecas' control as well, thus putting himself and T.P.I. at the forefront of organized criminality in the region. Accompanied by a reluctant Ron Jakowski, he drives to Ortega's trailer and, after Ron's failed attempts to dissuade him, rams his Bodhi into it, pushing it into the river. Ortega, shocked by Trevor's actions, emerges from the water, and Trevor may either kill or spare him at that point.
If Ortega is spared, he will reappear at the end of Trevor Philips Industries, looking for revenge on Trevor by assaulting his meth lab while Trevor is attempting to show it to Tao Cheng and his translator. After Trevor and Chef massacre various Aztecas members, Ortega shows up with his last men and goes through the front to confront Trevor, only to be killed.
Mission Appearances
- Mr. Philips (Can be killed)
- Trevor Philips Industries (Killed, if spared in Mr. Philips)
Trivia
- Ortega's full name is never mentioned in GTA V.
- Ortega is the third character that you can spare and kill at a later date, the other two being Clarence Little and Brian Jeremy. However, he is the only one you kill in two different missions than a random encounter, and thus the only one that must be killed eventually.
- It is unclear whether Ortega was the leader of the Varrios Los Aztecas or if he was simply a high-ranking lieutenant in the gang. However, the way Ron reacts to Trevor's decision to attack Ortega and his failed attempt to dissuade Trevor by telling him that Ortega "runs the whole county" and that he has tolerated Trevor so far, suggests that Ortega was, at the very least, the leader of the Aztecas outside of Los Santos County.
- In all of his appearances, Ortega is wearing a sleeveless Pounders t-shirt with a large number 2 on the front.
- Ortega's trailer will still appear off of Joshua Rd. even after Trevor pushes it off of a ridge and several yards away into the river in Mr. Philips. This implies that Ortega may well have survived Trevor's attack during that mission and had it dragged back onto dry land and to its former location, and therefore that it is his death in Trevor Philips Industries that should be considered canon.
- If Ortega is shot during Mr. Philips, his corpse will often float down the river.
