Dune’s Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen: Explained

Played by Austin Butler in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune 2, Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen is the younger nephew of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen and the younger brother of Glossu Beast Rabban.
The guy is charming yet deadly and serves as the ultimate baddie in Frank Herbert's Dune.
Feyd-Rautha is portrayed as a skilled fighter and a charismatic individual, but he's also a ruthless and cunning person for whom family interests are paramount.
In the novel, he’s tasked with overthrowing House Atreides and eliminating every member of the noble house.
However, after the fall of Vladimir Harkonnen and House Harkonnen itself, Feyd-Rautha challenges Paul Atreides in a duel to the death.
Even in the trailer, he can be seen participating in the Harkonnen family gladiatorial games.
He's got skills, he's got charisma, and he's got a thirst for power that could rival the Fremen's craving for melange.
