Biography

Duncan Idaho was a male human who came to live in the time of the Imperium that ruled much of the unknown universe under the Padishah Emperor.

He came to be a Swordmaster of the Ginaz where he found himself in the service of House Atreides and came to be the right-hand man of its Duke Leto Atreides.

Later on, the Emperor decided to place the desert world of Arrakis under the fief of the Atreides and to maintain the production of the Spice Melange. Duke Leto decided to send Duncan to Arrakis to become an ambassador to the native Fremen who lived deep in the deserts of the world. Leo Atreides had hoped to form an alliance with the Fremen so that they could become part of a united front against the Harkonnens. Making the journey alone, Idaho after much time came to find the Fremen and became impressed by them. Such was his commitment to them that he formed dual allegiances with one to the Atreides and the other to the Fremen. When Duke Leto took charge of Arrakis, Duncan arrived to report his findings to his lord. During this time, the capital of Arrakeen came under a sneak attack by the Harkonnen's who had a spy lower its defences. Bolstered by the Emperor's Sardaukar warriors, the Harkonnen's came to massacre their ancient enemies in the ambush. Duncan Idaho himself came to engage the Imperial Sardaukar and managed to kill 19 of the elite solders single-handedly before dying from a blow to the head.
