### Etymology

"Otes" derived from the name "*Otis*" that came from Goetian mythology "Botis," described as a president and earl which most people relate it to Otes goal of finding the King of Duels.

## History

### Background

Otes worked for Goha Corporation's development department that's the main goal is to create the "Seven Road" cards. He desires to change current Duel Monsters' state to bring entertainment to the new generation by choosing the right candidate to be a King of Duels. He disguised himself to participate in the annual Dueling Tournament event hosted by Goha Corp. When he reached the finals, he was disqualified from the tournament as Goha employees are barred from participating. While walking back to the backstage, he saw Yuga Ohdo and chose him to be one to create a new road, passing him "Sevens Road Magician" card.

Otes created a secret door, using "The Relic" found at the underground chamber, inside the Dueling system of Goha Corp for any Duelist to challenge it every full moon and illuminate an unknown path, becoming the next King of Duels. This action birthed the urban legend in Goha City. Roa Kirishima and Luke discovered The Relic to complete their wish of becoming the next King of Duels. Otes was challenged by Luke six times to which resulted in him losing to Luke, quoting Luke's account six times.

Sometimes later, Otes with the relic approached Nail Saionji, ruining his complete control of the Dueling network. He lets Nail know that there will be a huge change to occur in Dueling, and a new King of Duels will be born and maybe Nail will find it fun again.

### Birth of Rush Duels Arc

Otes debuted in the series at the time Luke and Yuga came to the Relic's chamber to install "Rush Dueling" into Duel Disk. Yuga challenged Otes to do Real-Time Duel Programming to finish installing Rush Dueling. During the Duel, Otes swiftly summoned "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" overpowering Yuga. He was nonetheless defeated by Yuga, who calls his ace "Sevens Road Magician" to the field, then uses spell card "High Magic - Double Accel" and his monster's effect doubling its ATK points. Otes congratulated Yuga for creating a new road, and one to follow this road will become the next King of Duels, erasing Yuga and Luke's penalties. After Otes and the Relic disappeared from the chamber, only seven symbols which combine into the emblem of Seven Hells Hall were left – a spot that the Relic would next appear on the night of the full moon.

## Deck

It's unknown what Otis real deck is but it was shown to have the "Sevens Road Magician" card made by himself. It was later given to Yuga.

Otis in his Duel with Yuga uses a **"Blue-Eyes Deck"** capable of summoning the famed "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" at a fast rate with the aid of the Rush Duel Rules, and supporting it with his Spells or Trap Cards to quickly destroy his opponent's monsters, and use "Blue-Eyes" for a quick beat down strategy.

## Trivia

* Otis' deck is a reference to Seto Kaiba's own Deck filled with monsters which are mostly Dragons, along with Spells and Traps that support "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".
* His name can also been written as "Otes", which is "Seto" backwards.
