Councilors

"The Lady Jessica is Duke Leto's concubine. Although she is a Bene Gesserit, her loyalty always goes to house Atreides before the Sisterhood."

"Thufir is an elderly Mentat—a human computer—, and also House Atreides' Master of Assassins. Renowned in the Landsraad for being both outstandingly cunning and honorable, Thufir is also a master in the art of war and political instruction."

"Dr. Yueh is a Suk doctor in service of House Atreides, trained to the highest medical standards and bound by an Imperial Conditioning that should make betrayal unthinkable. Despite his vow, his love for his captured wife Wanna would lead him down a tragic path."

"Paul Atreides is the son of Duke Leto and Lady Jessica. Raised as both a Bene Gesserit and a Mentat, he is a gifted fighter and thinker, believed by some Fremen to be the Lisan al-Gaib — the Voice from the Outer World prophesied to lead them to freedom."

"Glossu's younger brother and the Baron's favored nephew, Feyd-Rautha has all it takes to uphold his family's sadistic culture. An unmatched duelist and charismatic leader, he is the chosen na-Baron of House Harkonnen, destined to take over his uncle's legacy."

"Piter is a twisted Mentat; that is a human computer, but bred on planet Tleilax with much less ethical constraints in mind that their regular counterparts."

"Cron Vatia is the administrator in charge of House Harkonnen's enslaved workforce on Arrakis. Efficient and utterly ruthless, he keeps production high through relentless pressure and swift punishment of any who fall short."

"Umman Kudu is the ruthless Captain of Harkonnen forces on Arrakis. Known for his iron discipline and heavy-handed methods, he ensures the Baron's dominance through overwhelming military presence."

"Staban is Esmar Tuek's son and, just like his father, a renowned smuggler of various goods on Arrakis, most notably Spice Melange. Like many of his people, he thrives in a harsh environment while routinely defying the highest authorities. He is a proud man who doesn't abide by anybody's rules but his own."

"Lingar's business revolves around a single commodity, but one which is so rare on Arrakis, only Spice tops it in importance: water. While his extraction operations are not technically illegal, they are by nature risky enough that Lingar had to forge an alliance with smugglers, and most notably Esmar Tuek."

"Lashon Hara is a shadowy information broker who deals in secrets as readily as others deal in spice. His network of contacts across Arrakis allows him to turn every trade into an intelligence opportunity, making knowledge itself the most profitable commodity."

"Stakkanov is a calculating logistics expert who has turned the chaos of smuggling into a science. He believes every setback is a business opportunity and ensures the operation profits from conflict regardless of outcome."

"Shimoom is a Fremen watermaster deeply devoted to the dream of transforming Arrakis through careful management of its most precious resource. His expertise in water conservation makes even the driest village a productive contributor to the Fremen cause."

"Jamis is a fierce and aggressive Fremen warrior, renowned for his skill in single combat and his unyielding hatred of all who would dominate Arrakis. His prowess in battle inspires his fellow fighters to push deeper into enemy territory."

"Ramallo is an elderly Sayyadina, a rogue Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother who successfully changed the Water of Life. She therefore possesses a vast knowledge inherited from her foremothers, and her immense wisdom makes her a reverend mother figure among the Fremen."

"Stilgar is the Naib—the leader—of Sietch Tabr, one of the most prominent Fremen communities on Arrakis. A wise and honorable leader, he has a soft spot for Chani Kynes, whom he regards as his niece."

"Zum Garon is a decorated Imperial military commander who has spent decades enforcing the Emperor's will across the Imperium. He views diplomacy as another form of warfare, using every truce as leverage to sharpen Corrino's military edge."

"Gaius Helen Mohiam is the Reverend Mother and Truthsayer to Emperor Shaddam IV, a formidable Bene Gesserit whose influence over the Landsraad is unmatched. Her ability to detect truth and subtly bend minds makes her indispensable to the Emperor's political dominance."

"Irulan is the eldest daughter of Shaddam IV. Her lack of brother makes her the prime candidate to become Empress at the death of her father. She received a Bene Gesserit education from her mother, but still keeps a strong ambition that often puts her at odds with the Emperor."

"Hasimir Fenring was once part of the Bene Gesserit breeding program, candidate for the role of Kwisatz Haderach. He was abandoned by the Bene Gesserit because of a genetic defect. Serving as a mentat and assassin for Shaddam IV, he is also His closest friend."

"Sanya Ecaz is the eldest daughter of Armanda, and current heir to the Ecaz dynasty. Her charming personality and eclectic tastes allow her to thrive among the artistic community of the house."

"Rivvy Dinari is a master swordsman and veteran instructor who carries on the traditions of the great Ginaz swordmaster school. His relentless emphasis on excellence ensures that only the finest fighters serve under House Ecaz's banner."

"Ibbo Vipp is a sharp-tongued Ecazi diplomat whose talent for navigating the Landsraad's byzantine politics has saved House Ecaz from countless unfavorable resolutions. He believes the speaker's lectern is more powerful than any blade."

"Mesa Ecaz is the youngest daughter of Armanda. She is driven and smart, always trying to encourage the use of house resources toward supporting and benefiting the people."

"Bolig Avati is House Vernius's chief architect and modular design specialist. His philosophy that technology should be adaptive and reconfigurable has transformed Ixian engineering, allowing their facilities to be reorganized to meet any strategic need."

"Bronso Vernius is Rhombur's brilliant son, caught between Ixian technical tradition and the broader currents of the Imperium. His forward-thinking approach to expansion focuses on finding weak points in an adversary's perimeter and exploiting them before they can be reinforced."

"Cammar Pilru served as the Ixian ambassador to the Spacing Guild for decades. His long-standing relationships with Guild navigators ensure that Ixian interests are always represented in matters of interstellar commerce."

"Tessia is Rhombur's devoted Bene Gesserit consort. Her political acuity complements Rhombur's technical genius, making the couple a formidable presence at both the Landsraad table and the battlefield."
