    Duncan IdahoFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Duncan Idahois a fictional character in theDune

    universe created by Frank Herbert. Introduced in the first

    novel of the series, 1965'sDune, the character became a

    breakout character as the readers liked him and was

    revived by Herbert in 1969'sDune Messiah.[3]He is the

    only character to feature in all six of Herbert's original

    Dunenovels.

    Idaho was portrayed by Richard Jordan in David Lynch's

    1984 film version ofDune, and by James Watson in the

    2000 Sci-Fi Channel miniseries. Edward Atterton

    assumed the role in the 2003 miniseries Children of

    Description

    InDune(1965), Duncan is described as a handsome man

    with "curling black hair" to whom women are easily

    attracted. Paul Atreides notes Duncan's "dark round face"

    and "feline movements, the swiftness of reflex that made

    him such a difficult weapons teacher to emulate." Lady

    Jessica calls him "the admirable fighting man whose

    abilities at guarding and surveillance are so esteemed."

    Duncan is fiercely loyal to House Atreides, is a skilled

    pilot, and as a Swordmaster of the Ginaz is a gifted hand-

    to-hand fighter.[4]In the fight that ends with his death in

    Edward Atterton in the 2003 Children of Duneminiseries

    Dune, Duncan kills an unheard-of 19 Sardaukar, the

    Padishah Emperor's fearsome supersoldiers.[5]The

    Sardaukar sell his body to the Tleilaxu; subsequent gholas

    of Duncan possess the rebellious streak of the original.

    In 1976's Children of Dune, the Lady Jessica tells

    Duncan that he was drawn to her daughter Alia because

    "you wanted a girl you saw as a younger version ofme."[6]In God Emperor of Dune(1981), the latest

    Duncan ghola discovers that one of his predecessors had

    fathered a child with a woman named Irti who closely

    resembles Jessica.[7]

    Appearances

    The original Idaho

    At the time of Frank Herbert's original novelDune(1965), Idaho is a Swordmaster of the Ginaz in the service

    of House Atreides and one of Duke Leto's right-hand men (with Gurney Halleck and Thufir Hawat). When the

    Atreides take over the planet Arrakis at the order of the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV, Idaho becomes Leto's

    ambassador to the Fremen, the desert people of Dune that Leto hopes will ally with him in the coming war

    against the Emperor and the Harkonnens. Idaho goes to live with the Fremen, serving both Leto and Fremen

    leader Stilgar. When the Emperor's dreaded Sardaukar attack Arrakis in the guise of Harkonnen troops, Idaho

    initially survives the assault and saves Leto's son Paul Atreides and concubine Lady Jessica. When they are

    cornered at a Botanical Testing Station, Paul and Jessica flee while Idaho holds off the enemy, but he is

    ultimately killed.[4]

    It is noted inDune Messiah(1969) that a "grievous head wound" had caused Idaho'sdeath,[8]and made clear in Children of Dune(1976) that Idaho had killed an unheard-of tally of nineteen

    Sardaukar before dying.[5]

    The first Duncan ghola

    Idaho returns inDune Messiah(1969) as a ghola made by the Tleilaxu and gifted to Paul Atreides, now

    Emperor. The purpose of the gift is 'psychic poison': the ghola, named Hayt, is supposed to tempt the Kwisatz

    Haderach Paul into becoming that which he despises. Trained as a Mentat and a Zensunni philosopher, Hayt has

    no memory of his former life, but constantly feels vague hints and reminders of his previous incarnation that makehim hope he can recover those memories.

    The seemingly harmless dwarf Bijaz recognizes that Hayt is failing to destroy the Emperor psychologically. As

    the ghola is of Tleilaxu design, Bijaz employs a specific humming intonation that renders Hayt open to implanted

    commands. Bijaz programs Hayt to kill Paul when he says the words "She is gone," in the depths of grief over

    the death of his concubine Chani. But this is only part of the true plan; the emotional distress of the attempt

    allows Hayt to recover the buried memories of Duncan Idaho, up to and including his death at the hands of the

    Imperial Sardaukar. This is the culmination of the Tleilaxu plot, as masterminded by the Face Dancer Scytale

    to demonstrate to Paul that the Tleilaxu can create for him an exact duplicate of his dead concubine, and lover,

    Chani but only if he abdicates his throne and relinquishes his CHOAM holdings. Paul resists the temptation,killing Scytale himself and having Hayt/Duncan kill Bijaz.

    17/11/14 Duncan Idaho - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Idaho 3/6

    Also inDune Messiah, hints are dropped of a growing attraction between Idaho and Paul's sister, Alia. In one

    scene, Duncan even kisses Alia, which infuriates her; he replies that he took no more than what was offered.

    When a blinded Paul abdicates and wanders into the desert to die (as is the tradition for blind Fremen), Alia

    asks Idaho for his continued support and affection to help her get through the times ahead.

    In 1976's Children of Dune, Idaho is now Alia's husband and Mentat. She has assumed power as Holy Regent

    in the name of Paul's children, Leto II and Ghanima. Alia becomes possessed by the memory-ego of her

    ancestor, the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, who sets out to destroy the Atreides empire. Recognizing this, Idaho

    remains loyal to the Atreides, and flees to the desert to protect the children. In order to get Stilgar to join the

    Fremen opposition to Alia's rule, Duncan kills Javid, Alia's secret lover, on the neutral ground of Sietch Tabr.

    He also insults Stilgar three times, by saying to him the three deadliest insults a Fremen could ever hear: "You

    wear a collar!", "You are a servant! You've sold Fremen for their water!" and "You have no immortality! None

    of your descendents carry your blood!" Duncan then allows himself to be struck down by an enraged Stilgar,

    who realizes afterward that Alia would be forced by political necessity to execute him and his only hope of

    survival is to join the Fremen rebels which is what Duncan had planned from the beginning. Duncan's last

    gasping words were, "Two deaths for the Atreides. The second for no better reason than the first."

    The God Emperor's ghola series

    God Emperor of Dune(1981) reintroduces Idaho as a serial ghola: Leto II has ruled as a sandworm-human

    hybrid for 3,500 years, and has continually had an Idaho ghola to serve him. Beyond his personal affection for

    Idaho, to Leto Idaho represents loyalty, humanity, and the spirit of the unknown, something which the God

    Emperor, having perfect prescience, knows nothing of. It is also implied that Duncan is needed for Leto's plan

    for humanity's ultimate survival called the Golden Path to come to fruition. However, the Idaho gholas,

    with their memories restored, struggle to deal with what the Atreides have become. Where before, the hallmark

    of Atreides rule was justice, Leto's reign has been one of godhood and oppression. Idaho's old-fashioned

    conscience rebels, leading the Idaho ghola to attempt to kill Leto (who as a sandworm is invulnerable to all but

    water and extreme violence). Leto notes that only nineteen of "his" Duncans have survived long enough to diewhat is considered a "natural death." In just about all of these rebellions, the Idaho ghola is killed by the God

    Emperor. After a certain time, the God Emperor orders another one from the Tleilaxu, or the Tleilaxu

    themselves just send another one as a token for their security.[7]

    The novel chronicles the perceptions and actions of a new Duncan that has just been ordered from the Tleilaxu.

    Like the others before him, Duncan is appalled at what Atreides rule has become, but Leto appoints him as the

    head of his otherwise all-female military, the Fish Speakers. Leto also reveals that he has repeatedly used his

    Duncan gholas in his breeding program to genetically improve the Atreides line. The current Duncan is intended

    to mate with Siona Atreides, the end product of Leto's breeding program: she is invisible to prescient sight.

    Duncan is extremely reluctant and protests, saying that he is not Leto's stud. He does catch the eye of Hwi

    Noree, the Ixian Ambassador sent to Arrakis with the explicit purpose of wooing the Emperor. Leto forbids

    Duncan from having any relations with her, but he disobeys and sleeps with Hwi.[7]

    Duncan eventually joins Siona's rebels and works with her to assassinate Leto. His plan is successful, but Hwi is

    killed in the process. Leto reveals that he knew of their plan, and that his death is simply another step to ensuring

    the Golden Path. Siona, having seen the Golden Path during her trial in the desert, realizes she was bred as a

    key figure for humanity's survival. At the end of the novel, she schemes on how to carefully seduce Duncan and

    mate with him, as Leto had originally intended. None of their descendants will be able to be tracked by

    prescience, forever free of any one person's vision and ensuring that humanity could never be completely foundand destroyed.[7]

    Fifteen hundred years later in Chapterhouse: Dune(1985), the Bene Gesserit Bellonda assesses the many

    Duncans who came before:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Idaho 4/6

    Duncan Idaho from Frank

    Herbert's 1985 work of short

    fiction "The Road toDune"[10]

    In the original and early gholas, his character had been dominated by impulsiveness. Quick to hate,

    quick to give loyalty. Later Idaho-gholas tempered this with cynicism but the underlying

    impulsiveness remained. The Tyrant had called it to action many times. Bellonda recognized a

    pattern. He can be goaded by pride. His long service to the Tyrant fascinated her. Not only had he

    been a Mentat several times but there was evidence he had been a Truthsayer in more than one

    incarnation.[9]

    The Bene Gesserit ghola series

    The Bene Gesserit become the consumers of Idaho gholas inHeretics of

    Dune(1984) and Chapterhouse Dune(1985). However, the gholas are

    repeatedly assassinated after several years, and the Sisterhood suspect the

    Tleilaxu. Not knowing exactly what purpose Idaho will serve, the Bene

    Gesserit believe that the Tleilaxu are using the gholas to control the timing of

    his release upon the universe, implying some Tleilaxu purpose in addition to

    their own. The current ghola survives such an attempt and Miles Teg is ableto restore the memories of Duncan Idaho to the ghola, but Duncan can feel

    that the Tleilaxu planted something else in his mind. When Murbella, an

    Honored Matre, tries to sexually bond Idaho, he entraps and enslaves her,

    revealing the Tleilaxu purpose: To conquer the Honored Matres by using a

    better version of their own sexual techniques. When Murbella tries to bond

    Duncan, the Tleilaxu's plan comes to fruition, and he becomes aware of the

    memories of all the other Idaho gholas, though he is also imprinted to her. It is

    later determined that the Tleilaxu had mixed the cells from almost all of the

    Idaho gholas to make this one. Idaho and Murbella are confined to a no-ship

    on Chapterhouse. There, Idaho trains young men to go out into the universeand enslave Honored Matres. Duncan also inherits an awkward prescient

    vision, wherein he sees an old man and woman staring back at him. Duncan

    restores the memories of the Miles Teg ghola, and escapes in the no-ship, evading the trap set for him by the

    strange couple.

    Recent appearances

    Sequels

    Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson continued from the original series withHunters of Dune(2006) and

    Sandworms of Dune(2007), originally planned to beDune 7by Frank Herbert. Duncan continues his travels

    on the no-ship, now named theIthacaby its passengers. He is accompanied by Miles Teg, Sheeana and a

    group of her Bene Gesserit sisters, the last Tleilaxu Master Scytale, and many others.

    Duncan and the other refugees from Chapterhouse are still on the run from the Unknown Enemy that hunts them.

    They don't learn until near the end that the Enemy is the revived empire of thinking machines, and the old couple

    are actually the computer-entity Omnius and the robot Erasmus. In the final confrontation with Omnius, Paul

    Atreides (brought back as a ghola and with his power of prescience just-now restored), and then Norma Cenva

    (the Oracle of Time to the Navigators), both reveal that Duncan is the Ultimate Kwisatz Haderach; not Paul norany other Atreides, nor their descendants. Overwhelmed by the unexpected revelations, Duncan decides to

    unite humanity and the thinking machinesafter Cenva permanently removes Omnius from existencerather

    than bring about the absolute destruction of intelligent technology for the second time in history.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Idaho 5/6

    Assuming the responsibility of mediator between the two sides, and with Erasmus' willing participation (the robot

    being left asthe leader and controlling-force of the thinking machines), Duncan does something similar to Bene-

    Gesserit Sharing with the robot; possibly along with what seems to be a physical-bonding (similar to what Leto

    II did withthe sandtrout) into something of a human-machine hybrid. Erasmus then voluntarily "dies", while

    remaining anOther Memory speaking to Duncan. In addition to being the Final Kwisatz Haderach of the

    humans, Duncan becomes the new evermind of the thinking machines, guiding their joint future.

    Prequels

    Accordingto thePrelude to Duneprequel trilogy (19992001) by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson,

    Duncan Idaho is born on the planet Giedi Prime, under the Harkonnen Regime. His hatred for the Harkonnens is

    establishedwhen, at eight years of age, his parents are murdered in front of him by Glossu Rabban.[11]Rabban

    subsequently chooses young Idaho to be the prey for one of his hunts, but Idaho's resourcefulness and the aid o

    a woman who wants to punish the Harkonnens enables him to escape Giedi Prime for the planet Caladan. Upon

    arriving atthe Atreides palace, he becomes a stableboy at Duke Paulus Atreides' request. After Paulus' death,

    Idaho expresses his desire to become a Ginaz Swordmaster. In the trilogy's second installmentDune: House

    Harkonnen, Duncan undergoes the immense rigors needed to be a Swordmaster; he is promoted to the title,

    alongside aGrumman friend named Hiih Resser, and helps defeat a mob of insurgent students. At the time of

    Dune: House Corrino, Duncan is an instrumental part of the liberation of the planet Ix from the Sardaukar and

    Tleilaxu, andeven manages to defeat Count Hasimir Fenring in single combat.[12]

    Portrayal in adaptations

    In the 1984filmDune, Duncan is played by Richard Jordan, and James Watson portrays the character in the

    2000 miniseriesFrank Herbert's Dune. Like in the novelDune, Duncan has only a minor role in both of these

    adaptations.

    In the 2003miniseries sequelFrank Herbert's Children of Dune, the ghola of Duncan (known in the novels as

    "Hayt") isplayed by Edward Atterton. The production does not depict the character with metallic machine eyes

    as in the novels.
