Achillus Atreides

Achillus Atreides is the Duke of House Atreides in Emperor: Battle for Dune.

Background
The head of House Atreides embodies all the virtues of the people of Caladan. He is fit, intelligent and reserved, and yet his standing as a commanding officer of the Caladan armies inspires a grave respect and loyalty among soldiers. His stake in Arrakis is not personal or even planetary; Duke Atreides wants the spice to flow for all, and knows that in the hands of House Harkonnen or House Ordos, melange's life-enhancing qualities would be warped into a tool of subjugation. Thus he fights for all; yet his pride in his Atreides heritage guides him with a fervor rarely seen in the theater of war.

Behind the scenes
