Character biography
Dune
As Dune begins, Feyd-Rautha figures heavily in the Baron's plans to gain power for House Harkonnen. The Baron favors the handsome and charismatic Feyd over Feyd's older brother Glossu Rabban ("The Beast") because of Feyd's extreme intelligence and his dedication to the Harkonnen culture of carefully-planned and subtly executed sadism and cruelty, as opposed to Rabban's outright brutality. Glossu Rabban, Count of Lankiveil (nickname 'The Beast' was a minor character in the Science fiction Novel Dune by Sadistic personality disorder is a Personality disorder which only appeared in the revised third edition of the American Psychiatric Association 's Diagnostic
The Baron could see the path ahead of him. One day, a Harkonnen would be Emperor. Not himself, and no spawn of his loins. But a Harkonnen. Not this Rabban he'd summoned, of course. But Rabban's younger brother, young Feyd-Rautha. There was a sharpness to the boy that the Baron enjoyed . . . a ferocity . . . A year or two more — say, by the time he's seventeen, I'll know for certain whether he's the tool that House Harkonnen requires to gain the throne.
Feyd is, for a while, the Baron's heir, or na-Baron. To assure Feyd's power, the Baron intends to install him as ruler of Arrakis after a period of tyrannical misrule by Rabban, making Feyd appear to be the savior of the people. Arrakis is also an alternative name for the star Mu Draconis.
Feyd, like Paul Atreides, is also the product of a centuries-long breeding program organized by the Bene Gesserit, who planned their own alliance by joining a Harkonnen son to an Atreides daughter with the expectation that their offspring would have a high probability of being their hoped-for Kwisatz Haderach. Paul Orestes Atreides (10175-10217 AG is a Fictional character in the ''Dune'' universe created by Frank Herbert; he later takes the Fremen The Bene Gesserit (from Latin or a Semitic language see the origin of the name) are a key social religious and political force in Frank Herbert The Bene Gesserit (from Latin or a Semitic language see the origin of the name) are a key social religious and political force in Frank Herbert House Atreides is a fictional noble family from the ''Dune'' universe created by Frank Herbert. " Kwisatz Haderach " is the name of a prophesied Messiah in Frank Herbert 's fictional ''Dune'' universe. For this reason, Lady Jessica's decision to defy the Sisterhood and to produce an Atreides son, Paul, threw the Bene Gesserit's plans into turmoil and established an irreconcilable tension between Feyd and Paul as the scions of their bitterly opposed noble houses. Lady Jessica (10154-10256 AG Lady Jessica was portrayed by Francesca Annis in the 1984 David Lynch film Dune. Kinship is a relationship between any entities that share a genealogical origin through either biological cultural or historical descent The risk of one or both of these young men being killed, destroying thousands of years of genetic engineering, is so great that the Bene Gesserit send an envoy, Margot Fenring, to seduce Feyd and conceive a child, salvaging his genetic material. Lady Margot Fenring is a Fictional character from the ''Dune'' universe created by Frank Herbert.
And the Lady Fenring thought: Can that be the young man the Reverend Mother meant? Is that a bloodline we must preserve?[5]
Margot also intends to "plant deep in his deepest self the necessary prana-bindu phrases to bend him," which she later refers to as the "Hypno-ligation of that Feyd-Rautha's psyche.

It is also later noted by the Reverend Mother Mohiam that Feyd's encounter with Lady Fenring produced a daughter. Gaius Helen Mohiam is a Fictional character in the ''Dune'' universe created by Frank Herbert. [2]
Feyd's ambition and impatience to inherit the Baron's title and power spur him to attempt his uncle's assassination; as punishment for the failed attempt, the Baron forces Feyd to single-handedly slaughter all the female slaves who serve as his lovers. He explains that Feyd has to learn the price of failure.
As Paul makes his final bid to usurp the Padishah Emperor's power, he is challenged by Feyd. The Padishah Emperor was the title of the hereditary rulers of the known universe in Frank Herbert 's fictional ''Dune'' universe. Though famed for his prowess in single combat, Feyd intends to guarantee victory by breaking the formal rules of kanly (which govern this type of challenge) and using a hidden poison spur in his fighting outfit. The following is a list of terminology used in the fictional ''Dune'' universe created by Frank Herbert, the primary source being "Terminology of the Imperium" the He nearly succeeds in killing Paul in the ritualized fight, as Paul struggles with whether to try the paralysis word-sound and owe the Bene Gesserit his victory, or to risk his life against Feyd in a "fair" fight. Paul manages to defeat Feyd without the command, and goes on to ascend the throne of the Emperor.

Named after his maternal grandfather, Rautha Rabban, who had been murdered by Glossu, Feyd becomes honorable Abulurd's hope for a son who would not have to inherit the dishonor of the name Harkonnen, and a worthy heir in comparison to his older, murderous son, Glossu. The Baron decides to take the infant Feyd from his father to raise on the Harkonnen homeworld Giedi Prime as another possible heir for himself, and as punishment for Abulurd's attempts to sever all his ties to House Harkonnen.
