Jopati Kolona





Colonel Bashar Jopati Kolona was commander of the Sardaukar troops who fought alongside House Harkonnen against the Atreides on Arrakis, disguised as Harkonnen soldiers.

Kolona was not a native to Salusa Secundus but the heir of House Kolona, formerly ruling house of planet Borhees.

Behind the Scenes
Aside from the original Dune, where he remains unnamed, Jopati Kolona appears in the novel Dune: The Duke of Caladan by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, as well as in their short story "Blood of the Sardaukar" published in the  Unfettered III anthology, where he is the main character. The short story was also the basis of a Boom Studios comic of the same title.

In the 2021 film the unnamed Sardaukar bashar is portrayed by Neil Bell.
