{{IS_A=Character}} {{Name=Prince Tarvek Sturmvoraus}} {{Gender=Male}} {{Class=Spark}} {{Description=Son of [[Aaronev]], prince of Sturmhalten. Direct descendant of the "Storm King", Andronicus Valois, through his mother's side (v5, p83). Tarvek looks much like his father, according to [[Lucrezia]] on (v5, p96). Since his father's death, Tarvek is heir-presumptive to Sturmhalten, as he reminds [[Vrin]] on (v5, p96). Tarvek plays both sides of the fence so well, it is [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/cgi-bin/ggmain.cgi?date=20060405 completely unclear] which side he is really on. If any -- his style seems to be deliberate ambiguity. Indeed, he [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/cgi-bin/ggmain.cgi?date=20060407 doesn't even entirely mind if that is known]: he just specializes in convincing all sides that he is *really* with them. There is [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/cgi-bin/ggmain.cgi?date=20060426 some reason to believe] that he is really aligned with [[Agatha]], and is plotting with [[Moxana]], but it's hard to be sure. The one time we see Tarvek in a fairly unguarded moment seems to be [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/cgi-bin/ggmain.cgi?date=20060526 this page]. In this, he makes pretty clear that his personal priority is overthrowing [[Klaus]] and re-establishing himself as the Storm King; this rings pretty true. He clearly believes that this would be for the best for everyone, but he is also clearly susceptible to typical Sparky megalomania. Of course, he accidentally confesses this to [[Lucrezia]], instead of [[Agatha]] as intended.}} {{Picture=(v5, p56)}} {{Picture=(v5, p64)}}
