Agreed. That is a strong similarity between Andronicus and Tarvek. I suspect that Tarvek would enjoy governance, he and Boris would make a spectacular team. As part of the lead triad, it is more his strength than either Gil's or Agatha's.

I'd like to see Krosp and Tarvek working on a military exercise together, at the least Krosp could help nudge Tarvek's Spark into interesting paths. My best guess is that while Tarvek has a stronger military spark, Klaus' experience will let him beat Tarvek. If Klaus decides he doesn't want to fight effectively, and only does so under Lu's duress, then Tarvek could win. Not sure what could bring that about, but the Foglios have repeatedly demonstrated their ability to surprise me.
