Avelard - FanArt
Avelard II, born Avelard Mustami, was a ruler during the Regency period, succeeding Juan Borges, perhaps by election. Around this time the Imperium saw unprecedented economic growth, particularly under his rule.
The demands of the Imperium wanted the Mentat to expand its training program and alter the size, pace or quality of the Order's training efforts. Under severe political pressure, Avelard came within a whisker of sending troops to Tleilax to force this decision. The troops were composed of united Sardaukar and Landsraad strength.
Proctor Makarfo Bonn resisted the demands. Finally, Avelard was persuaded that neither Imperium, CHOAM, nor Landsraad would gain from 'watered-down' Mentat training.
After the crisis, the Tleilaxu claimed part credit for Avelard's forbearance; they released the news that they had threatened to resist the invasion with force (this claim has met with uniform skepticism whenever the relative strengths are considered of the united Sardaukar and Landsraad on the one hand, and the Tleilaxu on the other).
He was succeeded by his wife, Maria I.
