Glossu Rabban

Character from Dune by Frank Herbert

The Baron's brutish nephew appointed to grind Arrakis into submission — too cruel to inspire loyalty and too dull to realize he is the expendable first act in his uncle's plan to install Feyd-Rautha as savior.

Also known as: Rabban, Beast Rabban, Glossu Rabban, Rabban Harkonnen

What They Know

• He was appointed governor of Arrakis specifically to oppress the population, making Feyd-Rautha's eventual arrival seem merciful by comparison
• He killed his own father Abulurd for showing weakness — an act that earned him the Baron's approval and the title 'Beast'
• Spice quotas from the Baron are deliberately impossible to meet — Rabban's inevitable failure is designed to justify his removal
• The Fremen are far more numerous and dangerous than his census reports indicate — he underestimates them fatally
• He knows the deep desert hides something but lacks the strategic patience to investigate properly — he sends troops that never return
