Alia : Mommy, help me. Leto : [sets a leto ii down in front of Alia] Help yourself. Leto : I will not fear.

Leto Atreides II was the third and last ruler of the Atreides Empire as Emperor and the first and only God-Emperor from AG until his assassination in AG , when his intergalactic empire began to break up into a loose federation ruled by various powerful groups. He and his sister were preborn due to Chani's consumption of the spice melange in large amounts before her death. Seeing that their aunt, the Regent of the Atreides Empire , had been possessed by the ego-memory of her grandfather Baron Vladimir Harkonnen , Leto II and Ghanima planned to prevent her from destroying the Atreides and preventing the Golden Path , the salvation of humanity which Leto worked to bring about for most of his life. This period also saw them evade an assassination attempt by House Corrino which resulted in the banishment of Wensicia Corrino by her son Farad'n , who became Ghanima's lover. Following Alia's suicide as well as the murder of his father Paul, Leto took the title of God-Emperor and ruled over humanity with an iron fist for 3, years, guiding it away from extinction. Their mother Chani died shortly after giving birth to the two children, mainly due to complications arising from large amounts of contraceptives that were surreptitiously given to her by Paul's legal wife Irulan Corrino. Paul had anticipated the birth of a daughter, Ghanima, due to his prescient visions.

Chani dies giving birth to Leto and his twin sister Ghanima near the end of Dune Messiah. Blinded by the blast of a nuclear weapon called a stone burner , Paul is at a disadvantage when the Tleilaxu Face Dancer Scytale holds a knife over the newborns and threatens their death if Paul does not surrender his Empire to the Tleilaxu. Paul suddenly finds that he is able to see through the eyes of the infant Leto, allowing him to aim and throw a crysknife that kills Scytale. In Children of Dune , Leto and Ghanima are nine years old. Because of the melange ingested by their mother, which causes unusual effects for the Atreides bloodline, the twins are " pre-born ", meaning that as fetuses they had been awakened to consciousness and to their genetic memories; they had been born as fully matured human beings in the bodies of infants. At the start of the novel, Leto is not prescient to the degree that his father Paul had been, but he senses the test his father had faced — to embrace a prescient vision of the universe is to set the universe on that path, a terrible responsibility that comes with terrible power. Leto believes that he must face the same test. At the same time, the Imperium created by Paul is ruled by his sister Alia Atreides as regent. The horror of the pre-born—the reason the Bene Gesserit call them " Abominations "—is that they are easily possessed by the ego-memories of their ancestors. When Bene Gesserit awaken to their "other memories" in the rite of the spice agony , they are adults with fully formed personalities, and can withstand the inner assault of their forebears; the pre-born have no such defense.

Far from being taken without proper consideration, leto ii decision is on the contrary adopted knowingly, since, leto ii, thanks to their kaleidoscopic memory, they can experience every incident of their parents' past, including their erotic games, and also their ancestors'. Leto II is the second child of Paul to bear that name, the first having been killed as an infant by the Emperor's Sardaukar in Dune.

Marie-Noelle Zeender. Born under the sign of duality, he is the son of Paul Atreides and his Fremen concubine Chani, but he is also Ghanima's twin brother. While still a child, and after a painful initiation, he chooses to renounce a large part of his human condition and to cover his body with a new skin, that of the sandtrout, a creature having mythical significance for the Fremen. In spite of this, and surprising as it may seem at first, the character remains profoundly human, even until the end of his extraordinary adventures. In Children of Dune and in God-Emperor of Dune, he gives expression to his reluctance, his slightest hesitations, when resolving to make the sacrifice, as well as to his anguish and agony after the achievement of his metamorphosis. By thus revealing the most intimate manifestations of his unconscious, Leto allows us to follow the different phases of his evolution and perhaps to understand better the self hidden under this monstrous frame.

Ghanima Atreides b. Farad'n Corrino , heir to House Corrino , was her consort. Ghanima, or Ghani as she was also known, was born on Arrakis in Sietch Tabr twelve years after the ascent of Paul Atreides to the role of Emperor. Ghanima's mother was Paul's official concubine Chani , a Fremen , though the children never knew their mother in person. Shortly after the twins' birth their mother died due to labor complications. Ghanima was to be raised without her father, for shortly after her birth he walked into the desert, as was the custom for blind Fremen. Ghanima lacked the assertive streak and degree of prescience of her twin brother. However, thanks to the pair's genetic heritage and the large consumption of Spice Melange by their mother, Ghanima was pre-born and came into being with a full, adult consciousness. Thus she possessed wisdom far beyond her years, and a Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother 's skills and ability to recall knowledge from both her male and female ancestors.

Dune: Part Two takes us through the ending of the original novel, and even teases aspects of the second and third books, too. As in the novel, the movie ends with Emperor Shaddam IV Christopher Walken coming to Arrakis to confront the Fremen rebellion and chastise the Harkonnens for not doing his dirty work. The distinction of differing beliefs in the Northern Fremen and Southern Fremen is invented for the film. Note: in the book, Alia killed the Baron! Paul then asserts he is still the Duke of Arrakis because technically, the invasion of Arrakis that slaughtered his family was illegal.

When Bene Gesserit awaken to their "other memories" in the rite of the spice agony , they are adults with fully formed personalities, and can withstand the inner assault of their forebears; the pre-born have no such defense. A no-chamber is an electro-mechanical construct that hides its contents from prescient vision. The knowledge from those uncounted lifetimes which blended themselves within him provided the certainty through which he chose the precise adjustments, staving off the death from an overdose which would engulf him if he relaxed his watchfulness for only a heartbeat. Face Dancers approached the group disguised as Museum Fremen the remnants of the old Fremen of the desert days before all transforming into a copy of Duncan, each having also obtained uniforms identical to those worn by Idaho. Such an inversion reappears still more explicitly during their last meeting when Leto does not hesitate in the least to pass judgement on his father, reproaching him for never being a real Fremen and for being cowardly enough to shrink from the Golden Path. The only option is revolution, so Leto breeds for the person who will overthrow him: Siona Atreides , the daughter of his majordomo , Moneo. We always arise from our own ashes.

Dune: Part Two is chock full of deeply weird images. The film boasts giant sandworms, intelligent telepathic babies in utero, Harkkonen coliseum jesters, sadistic Austin Butler , and even proof that stringed instruments survive well into the year 10,!

And at the same time he blended himself with the sandtrout, feeding on it, feeding it, learning it He was worshipped by the priests of the new Church of the Divided God, which became the dominant force on Rakis and had essential control of the planet, as the great Divided God and the third member of the Holy Triumvirate of Heaven, the other being his grandmother Jessica, and his father, Muad'Dib.

The pharaonic empire which he sets up largely reproduces the parental pattern. In his delirium, he even goes as far as to say that he is an integral part of the planet, thus granting himself not only a universal dimension but also a cosmic one. Very early on in this expansion, Leto suppressed the ancient Order of Mentats and banned the training of Mentats because they formed a nucleus of independent opposition. However, he never once contemplates being one.
