If my opponent's Khan Noonien Singh is in my brig, can they play their personnel like Otto at a reduced cost? Rulebook says you can't use their game text so I guess the question is, is their card title considered game text?

BRIG AND CAPTIVES
"While your personnel is a captive, you cannot use any of its game
text, attributes, icons, or other characteristics. You may take no actions
involving that captive."

A name’s not considered game text, but I’d wager it’s considered “other characteristic”.

Interesting question. You still command a captive in your opponent's brig, so it looks on the surface like you should be able to trigger Otto. However, the next sentence in the rule book (after the ones you quoted) seems to answer the question.

For example: you cannot play a card requiring that you command a Leadership personnel if your only Leadership personnel is a captive.

I would interpret that to mean you can't trigger Otto from a captured Khan.

Being in the brig is a whole lot like being stopped. You command the personnel for purposes of uniqueness only. You can't trigger Otto with a captured Kahn Noonien Singh the same way you can't trigger Losta's attribute boost with a stopped Kahless.
