Bronso of Ix born Bronso Vernius (b. 10175 AG) was the son of Tessia, adopted by her husband Prince Rhombur Vernius.
Rhombur, was unable to conceive children due to the injuries he had suffered due his debilitating wounds received at the attempted assassination of Duke Leto Atreides I years earlier, so Bronso was born from the artifical insemination from the sperm of the dead Tyros Reffa, who was Rhombur's half-brother, with the egg of his mother.
He became an Ixian historian and author of Analysis of History.
He was detained by Muad'dib's Qizarate priests charged with heresy - saying that "Paul Atreides lost something essential to his humanity before he could become Muad'Dib".
His death-cell interview suggests that he was to be executed, however excerpts from Analysis of History places him alive after Muad'dib goes into the desert.
