 <h5>Appearance</h5>
-<p>Meticulous about his grooming and clothing, Ortega's signature cream hat and bright red, eagle-embroidered coat make him stand out in a crowd. He keeps his dark hair slicked back, and facial hair carefully trimmed into a thick mustache and goatee. He has a large scar on the left side of his face, not far from his eye from when Robbie Gold shot him. He prefers wearing fairly bright color schemes when it comes to clothing, with lots of details, embroidery, and embellishments. </p>

 <h5>Bounty Hunting</h5>
-<p>During Ortega's first year in prison, Cunningham and the remaining members of the gang continued to escalate. They had upgraded from petty robberies to higher-stakes heists and murders, often getting into violent clashes with the law. With the law struggling to detain them, Ortega was offered a deal - he would be released early from prison if he would work with the law to track down and capture the rest of the Star City Gang. Wracked with guilt, Ortega agreed to the terms and began the hunt. His knowledge of the gang's habits led to the capture of many of the members, before Cunningham and a few of his most trusted men and women went deep into hiding. His contract fulfilled, Ortega found he had a knack for tracking down criminals and pursued a full bounty hunting license. He spent the next decade chasing various bounties across the country but refused to return to Saint's Crossing, unable to reconcile with his past. In 1898 he became very close to a sheriff and his wife in Wisconsin, eventually developing romantic feelings for her. Not wanting to interrupt the relationship, he kept his unrequited feelings private but decided to settle down for a period, helping the local law and taking a job at a ranch to take a break from his nomadic way of life. After a conflict between the local law and an outlaw gang, both the sheriff and wife were brutally murdered. After this Ortega decided bounty hunting was not enough anymore and wished to become a lawman in honor of his friend. However, he had become hardened to the idea of pursuing any romantic relationship, convinced it would only put people he cared about at risk and history would repeat itself.

 *Despite claiming to not be well-read, Ortega will occasionally reference works of literature such as The Monkey's Paw.
 *He is equally meticulous about his horse as he is about his own cleanliness, and will be seen brushing the coat nearly every time he dismounts.

 <h5>Beginnings as a Lawman</h5>
-<p>Missing his former home deeply, Ortega decided it was time to come home and reconnect with his roots. After being sworn in by [[Woodrow Fulton|Sheriff Woody]], he received his badge and began his new life. Fearing his deputy application would be rejected, he left out the more sordid details of his past. Upon joining the department, it was explained to him that due to the events of [[The Battle of Saint Denis]] the [[Lang Gang]] had claimed control of Armadillo and declared it an outlaw town. By order of the law, anyone caught traveling to New Austin would be considered a potential associate of the gang. Knowing full well his allegiance would be questioned, Ortega decided to keep his visits to his father's grave and family ranch a secret as well. He spent many nights fending off the Lang Gang and attempting to keep the citizens of Saint's Crossing safe, growing closer to [[Danner Wynn|Sheriff Wynn]] in the process as the two would often patrol alone. </p>
