Shaddam Corrino IV

Born in 10119 AG, Shaddam Corrino IV took the Golden Lion Throne in 10156 AG as the 81st Padishah Emperor and head of Imperial House Corrino. His closest friend from childhood is his maternal cousin, Count Hasimir Fenring. He has five daughters, of whom the eldest is Irulan. The Sardaukar are his, and the fear of them is the floor under everything else he does, although the appropriations for their training have fallen steadily through the later decades of the reign, while in the first sixteen years the ranks of Bursegs doubled.
