Overview[]
Appearance[]
Otto appears to be a scholar who wears a green robe with golden rims. He also has a black colored collar, gloves, pants, and shoes. He has a long white beard and eyebrows, but no hair. Otto is also dark-skinned, similarly to Harper. Additionally, Otto also appears to wear a white pin on his robe, presumably to hold it all together.
Personality[]
Otto is portrayed to be an intelligent and self-assured character who has a strong belief in following rules, and at first, he seems impassive and overbearing. However, as the story progresses, he proves himself to be a helpful and trustworthy character who resents corruption and accepts fairness.
as when Hadrian makes a false promise to Jesse to give them the Altas if they win the Games, Otto makes sure that Jesse gets the Atlas when he/she wins, despite Hadrian's violent protests.
Of the trio of Old Builders, He is the only one of the trio who has any sense of honor, as when Hadrian makes a false promise to Jesse to give them the Altas if they win the Games, Otto makes sure that Jesse gets the Atlas when they win, despite Hadrian's violent protests.
He is also the only one of the trio who doesn't disfavor Jesse's Gang from the other competitors, as shown if Jesse wins the Lava Race, Otto cheers while Mevia and Hadrian express their disappointment and frustration.
Rather than being a sadistic, volatile megalomaniac like Hadrian and Mevia, Otto is calm, sensible and self-assured. He strongly believes in the importance of rules. He resents corruption, and wants the Games to be fair. Otto, like Hadrian and Mevia, enjoys watching the Games, but unlike them, he doesn't enjoy the competitor's suffering at all, and actually seems to sympathize with those whom Hadrian and Mevia have trapped and enslaved.
While Hadrian and Mevia are implied to oppress those trapped in the mines, Sebastian says that they sometimes get cake. Given the sadistic nature of everyone else running the Games, it is possible that Otto might sometimes kindly give them cake.
