Duke Achillus in Emperor:Battle for Dune
Count Achileus Atreides, nicknamed the Merchant Count, lived during the internecine war that erupted in 1680 AG.
During this war, he furthered his family interests. The Imperium-wide economic depression forced many Houses Minor and some Houses Major into economic decline and even bankruptcy.
Achilleus sold the family estates on Chalcedony and used the money to invest in CHOAM shares of undeveloped words. There, he developed the raw resources, and sold the processed goods back to the Houses.
He became the richest man in the Imperium and used his influence to reduce the power of the restored Emperor Corrin IV (1701 AG).
His grandsons were Phillipos III Atreides and Markos Atreides.
Emperor:Battle for Dune[]
In the game Emperor: Battle for Dune, which is set in an alternative Duniverse, House Atreides is led by Duke Achillus, played by Michael Dorn. Achillus's name is inspired by Achilleus from The Dune Encyclopedia, while his appearance is loosely based on Jürgen Prochnow's take on Leto Atreides I in the 1984 David Lynch movie.
