I was thinking about where the Foglios get their names, for characters meant to be disposed of they seem to play with the names. Tarvek was originally meant to be killed, so I wondered what they might have done. Tarvek is not a name anywhere that is obvious; and it occurred to me that it might be some sort of acronym. Then my sleepy brain jumped to Titus Andronicus (R) Valois (E) King. I can't quite make it work; but maybe someone cleverer than I am could make a better guess?
