Otto Schmetterling

Otto Schmetterling was one of the suspects during the murder investigation of an archaeologist named Burt Montana in Temple of Doom (Case #96, or Case #40 of Pacific Bay).

Profile
Otto is a 61-year-old art collector of German ancestry with grey hair concealed under his black fedora hat. Otto has a broken left eye as suggested by his facial features, and is known to eat hot peppers.

Role in Case(s)
Otto was called into the investigation after Amy Young and the player found a vat of gold bars in Burt's office. Hannah Choi felt the gold bars were bribes (as she knew cops were not allowed to take bribes, much to the fact she was tempted) but Amy countered that the gold bars are considered evidence. The good part was that Hannah confirmed Otto to be the one issuing those gold bars to the victim.

Amy started the conversation by asking Otto what a box of gold bars were doing in Burt's office to which Otto said it was a down payment for the Aztec statue. Amy felt this was a shady practice but Otto countered that this was an opportunity to cash in a fortune for a couple of lost Aztec treasures, also going so far by using the Aztec statue to make himself a god.

Otto would be due for a second conversation after Amy and the player found a framed document revealed by the player to be butterfly drawings by Otto since he wore a butterfly matching the description of those drawings. Amy asked Otto about the threat in which Otto made the threat to demand Burt to turn in the Aztec statue at the cost of his life, believing that humans have a price in their head.

Otto was innocent of murder, but was guilty of theft, smuggling, and money laundering after he was found by Amy and the player stealing artifacts belonging to Pearl Montana.
