When Tarvitz does things, he makes sure everything is done correctly, no matter how long it takes. This means there are frequent delays in Tarvitz's work, but it's usually done right, at least.

Through a combination of preparing, studying, and analyzing, Tarvitz creates detailed battle plans and tries to think two steps ahead of the enemy. At times, however, this can lead to Tarvitz creating complicated schemes that can baffle less intelligent subordinates.

Tarvitz is devoutly loyal to his House or Clan and will follow orders unquestionably. He would sacrifice his own life to protect his House or Clan from harm. This attitude, however, often clouds his ability to see things from an arbitrary or objective point of view and he can come off as extremely narrow-minded.

Tarvitz tells it like he sees it, when he thinks it; and he doesn't try to sugar coat what he says.

Born with an intractable will and limitless courage, Tarvitz will stand in the face of insurmountable odds and never retreat. Despite the fact that such acts of heedless bravery are inspiring and will sometimes result in victories worthy of song, just as often they result in his allies getting wounded or killed.

Tarvitz is utterly devoted to success in combat, no matter the mission, no matter the cost. He has spent his life building himself in the image of war, utilizing a dogmatic regimen that has lead him to a single-minded obsession with military success and requires intense physical and mental training. This training, however, has come at the cost of anything resembling empathy or concern for others - even his superiors and subordinates.
