Kalinar Koltrass was the Mentat to House Atreides in Emperor: Battle for Dune.
Background
Koltrass briefs young Caladanian commanders on the basics and intricacies of their missions, and yet never fails to emphasize the broader importance of what the war for Arrakis means. His perspective is gleaned from age and experience, but even Koltrass would agree that none of the wars he ever fought in were as crucial as the coming War of Assassins.[1]
Behind the scenes
- Kalinar Koltrass was played by Nicolas Worth. He also portrayed Nod general Marzaq in Tiberian Sun - Firestorm, and the Soviet Premier Alexander Romanov in Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge. Sadly, Worth died of heart failure on 7 May 2007.
- Koltrass appears to be partially inspired by depiction of Thufir Hawat in the 1984 Dune film. Kalinar is based on the name Kolinar, which comes from The Dune Encyclopedia.
