Although Ortega is short-tempered and prone to snide remarks, he deeply cares about Team Star. He is also a skilled engineer and mechanic, building the five Starmobiles by himself.[1]

Ortega comes from a life of wealth; his family owns a major apparel company in Paldea. Despite this, he was bullied at the academy, so he bonded with the other Team Star bosses, who were also bullied. The former director of the academy, Mr. Harrington, is his piano teacher.

Ortega awards the player with Team Star's Fairy Badge and TM079 (Dazzling Gleam) upon his defeat. Additionally, his defeat allows the player to craft the following TMs using the TM Machine:

Ortega was introduced as a Supporter card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese Ruler of the Black Flame expansion and the English Obsidian Flames expansion, with artwork by Naoki Saito. An ultra rare version with artwork by the same illustrator was released in the same sets. It allows players to look at their opponent's hand, choose a card from there, and put it at the bottom of the opponent's deck. The opponent may then draw a card.
