Khrone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Khrone is a fictional character from the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. He is the leader of the Lost Tleilaxu Face Dancers, and appears in Hunters of Dune.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Khrone kills the last Lost Tleilaxu Elder Burah, believing that it was no longer necessary to pretend to be inferior to the Elders.

Khrone and the Lost Tleilaxu Face Dancers hoped to find the Ithaca, believing Daniel and Marty's projections that the Ithaca contains something or someone important to them, that it contains the necessary fulcrum to influence the battle at the end of the universe. Khrone says Daniel and Marty's projections are infallible. [1]

Khrone, however. has his own agenda, and believes that Daniel and Marty will be fooled, just like the original Tleilaxu Masters and the Lost Ones. He hopes Uxtal will be able to produce a ghola from the partially recovered nullentropy tube found inside a partially burned Tleilaxu Master in Bandalong. [2]
