Thekar



Thekar was a desert guide in Glossu Rabban s hunting party on Arrakis. Pardot Kynes, also a member of Rabban’s entourage listened carefully to him making mental notes about the desert and worms. He had dark, close-set eyes and olive skin. Thekar told Rabban that a thumper will call the worm, so to get his trophy Rabban ordered Thekar to set up a thumper and connected explosives on the open sands, linking them with shigawire cables and turn them on, calling a worm and killing him. Thekar was supposed to run away in time, but the heir to House Harkonnen did not much care for his survival. After setting the explosives Thekar ran in a Fremen way, without rhythm, towards the rock outcropping where Pardot Kynes and the rest of the hunting party were situated. Finally making it there he looked back at the dead worm with mixed emotions. After the worm dissolved Rabban vented his rage by hitting Thekar full across the face, but he did not kill him.
