Jessica Atreides
Lady Jessica of the Atreides was the bound concubine of Duke Leto Atreides, raised and educated from birth by the Bene Gesserit on Wallach IX with a purpose she was never fully told.
Jessica bore Duke Leto a son against Bene Gesserit orders, which called for an Atreides daughter. She admitted she sensed the possibility of producing the Kwisatz Haderach, and that a son meant so much to the Duke. She trained Paul in the ways of the Bene Gesserit herself, serving as his guide in the order's disciplines.
At Castle Caladan she stood guard outside the room where Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam tested Paul, and was relieved when he passed. When the Reverend Mother confronted her over her defiance, Jessica defended her decision, then broke down, admitting her loneliness and her fear for her family's future.
