From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Preacher is an alter-ego of Paul Atreides in the novel Children of Dune by Frank Herbert, a part of the Dune universe. Rendered blind, Muad'Dib (Paul) enters the desert to die, but is taken in by a Sietch. He is led around by a boy, under the name "The Preacher", in an attempt to discredit the religion that was built around him. Saying things like "The religion of Muad'Dib is not Muad'Dib", he constantly scorns his own sister, Imperial Regent Alia Atreides. He later meets his son, Leto II, while Leto prepares for the Golden Path. He is killed after a final confrontation with Alia by a priest.
