| | Vladimir Harkonnen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Vladimir had arranged for the Duke to be taken prisoner by Dr. Wellington Yueh, his own physician. | | | In year 10,191, Vladimir was apparently contacted by Shaddam Corrino IV, 81st Emperor of House Corrino with the proposal of an alliance against the Duke. | | | This was later retconned by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson in their first prequel trilogy, explaining that the Baron was once an exceedingly handsome young man. In this version, his bodily deterioration is said to be the result of a rare disease. |

| | House Harkonnen |
| | The governors of Harkonnen territories use "every degradation of the spirit imaginable" (in the words of Duke Leto) in dealing with their populations, and their schemes always smack of treachery. | | | Gurney's inkvine scar was given to him by Count Rabban, a relative of House Harkonnen. | | | Unfortunately, he was killed by Duke Leto before he could bring his overwhelming cruelty to bear on the planet of Arrakis, thus throwing a spanner in the works of the Baron's plan. |

| | Hasimir Fenring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The only known time in which Fenring refused his Emperor's wishes was when Shaddam ordered him to kill Paul Muad'Dib Atreides. | | | Baron Vladimir Harkonnen described Fenring, during one such errand, as a "killer with the manners of a rabbit." He was also, strangely, known to have seduced both women and men to his own personal advantage, before meeting his Bene Gesserit wife. | | | Although known to be one of the deadliest duelists in the Imperium, Fenring's fearsome reputation in his youth really stemmed from the rumour of his assassination of Shaddam's father in order to place his old friend on the Imperial throne. |

| | I especially liked Ian McNeice's Harkonnen, bringing real smarts to a role that could have been mere bluster. | | | This time around, the actors don't look embarrassed to be there; they are good-to-excellent in their roles, and their characters comes across as wholly human. | | | Baron Vlad, on the other hand, has plans for using the whole chaotic situation to gain the Imperial throne for himself; the "floating fat man" of Dune comes across as enormously intelligent and calculating, and more than a little full of his own wit. |
