SHADDAM IV

Padishah Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV is the 81st ruler of the Known Universe and the head of Imperial House Corrino in Frank Herbert's Dune universe. Ruling from the imperial capital of Kaitain, his power is reinforced by the feared Imperial Sardaukar. Fearing the popularity of Duke Leto Atreides, Shaddam conspires with House Harkonnen to destroy House Atreides, ultimately setting off the Fremen revolt and the end of House Corrino's 10,000-year reign.
