MOTHER
I hold at your neck the gom jabbar. Don't
pull away or you'll feel that poison. A Duke's
son must know about many poisons --
this one kills only animals.
PAUL
Are you suggesting a Duke's son is an animal?
REVEREND MOTHER
Let us say I suggest you may be human.
Your awareness may be powerful enough tocontrol
your instincts.

Paul Atreides is the son of Lady
jessica and Duke
Leto Atreides of Kaladan. His conception was
the result of his Bene
Gesserit mother desbeying what her sisterhood
had ordered her to do. (Lady Jessica had been
instructed to bear a child).
During his early childhood he was educated by
men who were legends in their own lifetimes.His
sword teacher was Duncan Aidaho and his fighting
education was continued and brought to perfection
by Gerni Halleck. He was also trained in the Bene
Gesserit ways by his mother.
At the age of fifteen, just before his flying
to Arrakis after an imperial order, he was tested
by the GomJabbar by Reverend Mother Gaius Helen
Mohiam to prove his humanity.
On Arrakis, Paul Atreides fell victim to treasury
and had to hide himself in the desert in a need
to escape the Harkonnen invasion. There he met
the Fremens
and became Muad'dib, a gifted man with the ability
to see the different lines of the future unfold
before him. (learn
more about Muad'dib's vision of the futere here).
He led the Fremen to the Arrakis revolution
that gave him the throne of the emperor Padishah.
He married the emperor's heiress, princess Irulan
but Chani was his concubine and mother to his
children.
On to the second book of the series, Dune
Messiah, Paul Atreides is conqueror of a thousand
planets, as the one to have won the holy war his
Fremen laid on the empire. However strange forces
are ready tobring him down until Paul, foreseeing
the future, decides to go on in his own, shockingly
different way.
Paul gave birth to the " Children
of Dune" , Leto and Ghanima, main heros
of the third book in the Dune series. Leto
is the one to carry on his father's vision to
its appaling, unhuman yet awesome end.
