Otar Botkoveli

Otar Botkoveli (Georgian: ოთარ ბოტკოველი) is the second in command of the Dvali crime family in Prague during 2029. He runs an underground casino in the Čistá Čtvrť sewers.

Overview
Otar disagrees with the way Radich Nikoladze has been leading the Dvali and shows resentment towards some deals that Otar considers "bad for business" such as his boss' deal with Viktor Marchenko and the gold-mask terrorists. He also does not like Russians entering the Dvali, as he likes sticking to tradition.

All this aspires him to displace Nikoladze from the kingpin's position. He is almost always seen beside his trusty right-hand man, Vano Shetekauri, who he frequently lectures on the ways of the Dvali. Vano looks up to him and sees him as a mentor or father figure of sorts.

Even if Otar considers doing business with augmented people bad during the time of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, he does not exactly despise augmented beings. This is shown when he trusts Jensen with missions to elevate him as the leader of the Dvali in Prague in exchange for the neuroplasticity calibrator and safety for Václav Koller.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Otar Botkoveli initially appears as an opponent at the start of Mankind Divided, having sent his thugs to The Time Machine to forcefully extract its owner after Koller failed to show up when summoned. After being fixed up, Koller will direct Jensen towards an underground casino owned by Otar to retrieve a neuroplasticity calibrator that the mob boss have been withholding from him. Jensen can either kill, knock out everyone in the casino, or through a debate, gain the trust and initially bumpy alliance of Botkoveli himself in exchange for a favor or two down the road.

During his trek through Golem City, Jensen is contacted by Otar through Infolink, where the mobster informs him of a certain merchant named Louis Gallois who has a shop set up in the area. For his first favor, Otar tasks Jensen with taking this merchant out, though how he does it is his business.

After returning to Prague, Jensen is once again hailed by Botkoveli, who asks for another favor completed before he will let him off the hook. Otar directs Jensen over to the Red Queen, a nightclub in the Red Light District and help its proprietor with a certain family business. Once the deed is done, Otar contacts Jensen for the last time to express his gratitude and personally pardons Koller.

If Otar was helped out with his two favors, he will succeed Radich Nikoladze, who happened to perish in an "unfortunate accident", as the leader of the local Dvali branch and will grant Jensen safe passage into his territory. Despite his success, however, Otar rose to power too late, as Nikoladze had already finished his end of the deal with Marchenko, the explosives along with the Orchid have long been on their way to London.

Otar then bids Jensen farewell and good luck with his plans to stop the Illuminati's plot.
