Although it almost happens when he enters Czechoslovakia, his friends tap into the telephone line and stop him from being discovered. However, he’s not quite so lucky when Otto catches on.
*TheDandy: Tartu cares seriously for his impeccable moustache, his pompadour, and his snazzy striped suit.
*DistractedByTheSexy: Otto is completely twirled around Marushuka’s little finger.
*FalseFriend: Marushuka believes Tartu to be this for a couple of reasons: he saves Paula from being caught by the Gestapo when she kills an officer, but rats her out when she tries to tamper the munitions; he knows German well; and the first man he meets who’s part of the underground is promptly killed. As it turns out, Tartu had to give up Paula or else his cover would be blown, and the other event was a case of bad luck.

*ImpersonationGambit: Terence pretends to be the Romanian Tartu. It helps that Terence was born in Romanian, knows the language, and can be extremely charming.
