[edit] History

When Octavio was younger, everybody loved to hear him sing opera. But just when he was about to become famous, the tastes of music changed to rock. He was then recruited by the mob, members of which enjoyed his singing, and rose up to become a mob boss. When Sly Cooper and Bentley arrived in Venice looking for Murray, Octavio was all but in control of the city. His only resistance was Interpol forces-including mercenaries-under Carmelita Fox and Lt. Gronk.

Determined to regain his lost chance for opera glory, Octavio used a ferris wheel to pump tar into the canals and foundations of the city. His plan was to draw Venice's population to his opera performance, then force them to keep coming by holding the city hostage with threats of sinking the buildings. However, he soon found his efforts being disrupted by Sly and Bentley, who destroyed his advertisements. An antagonism was soon established between him and Bentley, whom he managed to capture at one point.

Fortunately, the Cooper Gang was able to thwart his efforts by destroying his tar pumps. After an opera duel with Bentley and quick chase through the Venice canals, he sunk a building before attacking Bently. Unable to stand back and watch his friends get hurt, Murray leapt into the fray, challenging Octavio and defeating him. Octavio, unconscious, was then arrested by Carmelita Fox.

Sentenced to prison for 30 years, Octavio found an ironic bright spot. While in prison, he became the opera success he'd always wanted to be, for most of his former fans were already in jail.

[edit] Personality

Octavio is an old school villain, often referring to "my day." He was also very prideful, intolerant of anyone who tried to upstage him.

[edit] Abilities

Despite being of an advanced age, Octavio is incredibly fast and strong. The only way Murray was able to slow him down enough to fight him was by luring him into pools of tar. Octavio also had a powerful sound attack, unleashing an operatic assault consisting of sonic waves.

[edit] Trivia

  • In the prototype version of Sly 3, Octavio wore a blue suit with no shoes, his porcelain mask was off, and he had white hair. In the final game, however, he was redesigned as younger, with blonde hair, a hat, a black pinstriped suit with a cape, and his now-trademark Porcelain mask. An image of this prototype can still be seen on the Sly 3 official site in the villains section.
