House von Blitzengaard are Tarvek Sturmvoraus's nasty cousins—the ones everyone (in particular, Gil) should prefer him to.
According to Dimo, the von Blitzengaards have a distinctive voice ✣ that apparently comes from Andronicus Valois.
Family Name[]
The suffix "gaard" means "garden" in Proto-Germanic & modern Dutch. "Blitzen" means "lightning". Therefore, "Blitzengaard" means "Lightning Garden" or perhaps "Lightning Farm".
