If it wasn't for Agatha already pining for Gil and Tarvek and Zeetha for Higgs, one would think they were HeterosexualLifePartners, that's how deep their relationship is.

* KingBobTheNth: Tarvek is the fifth (in the novels, seventh in the comic) Prince in the history of Sturmhalten to have the given name of Aaronev. Given that the Principality of Sturmhalten has only existed for about two hundred years, Aaronev is apparently a very popular name in the family.

* {{Expy}}: Very much so for [[Franchise/JamesBond Mr. Bond]]. His only problem is that he lives in a world of high-powered Mad scientists.

* HorrifyingTheHorror: The Polar Lords are older than the Queens or even the mysterious civilization that built the Mirrors. It's not clear if [[HumanoidAbomination they're even human anymore]]. They're treated more like demons or [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]], and they're rumored to be outright [[RealityWarper Reality Warpers]] in a way that goes beyond even Mad Science as everyone else understands it. And one of them [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20231220 calls another a fool]] for provoking "a horror such as ''you''" (that would be Agatha) "while he was weak and in retreat". Apparently these ancient horrors feel they need to be at their full strength before they take on a Heterodyne.

* GeekyTurnOn: Is the one most ''prominently'' shown to be highly attracted to Agatha's sparky-ness. [[JustifiedTrope In his defense]], she's one of the few women he's met that can keep up with him on an intellectual level.


Added DiffLines:

* LastSecondWordSwap: After Gil sinks into depression following Agatha's [[FakingTheDead apparent death]], he tells Wooster that with all the other students gone and Klaus locked up in his own lab for the last two months, he has no one left. When Wooster replies that Gil still has him, Gil responds with "''You--?! You're'' only here--" before cutting himself off. This serves as {{Foreshadowing}} to the fact that Gil knows Wooster is a British spy, with Gil cutting himself off before he can reveal that he already knows.


Added DiffLines:

* SherlockScan: Gil quickly figures out that Agatha (not Moloch) is the Spark his father is looking for by merely looking at their hands: Moloch's hands are relatively clean, while Agatha's are smeared with machine oil. Instead of pointing this out to his men, however, he keeps it to himself until he can confirm it.

* WarriorPrince: Technically not a "prince", because the Wulfenbach name wasn't exactly high nobility before the Baron enforced his rule. But Gil is very much his father's son, and knows how to throw down just as well as his father. He may well be a more literal example after all. When [[spoiler:he refuses to be styled as "Herr Baron" after his father's disappearance]], Boris decides to use one of Gil's styles: Your Highness.
