Do you need to do anything to save him? By that I mean do you have to discard a dupe or use some other card effect to save him?
If not, does that mean that having two dupes on him is effectively useless?
Or, I guess if you really wanted to, you could save him twice using the dupes, and then after that, use the "Response" to save him another two times and gain the power?
The response is the save, you don't need to do anything else.
And you are correct, Tarle can save himself up to four times or more if you've got a way to move power off him.
Actually it would be better to use his ability to get the 2 power on him and then use dupes to protect him from dying a 3rd time. Note that if you use his ability a 3rd time and that 3rd power gets you to 15, you win before he is discarded.
Once he gets 3 power on him is he be perpetually discarded from play or can you save him from his passive effect?
The discard is terminal, just like a burn effect like "-1 STR and kill at 0." That is, if you did save him, he'd just be discarded again (because the condition that triggers the discard is still true.)
So just like a burn effect, you can only save with an effect that removes him from his terminal estate (i.e., an effect that both saves AND removes a power from him).
