Buer Agarves [d. 10219 AG] was a Tabrite Fremen on Arrakis, who served as an aide to Ziarenka Valefor, the director of Regent Alia Atreides's temple guards.

Biography[]

With Javid[]

Buer Argaves accompanied Ziarenko Javid, to Sietch Tabr. Argaves was present when Duncan Idaho stabbed Javid to death, and when Idaho himself was killed by Stilgar, Naib of Tabr. Argaves was witness as their bodies were prepared for the Huanui.

Reporting to Alia[]

Argaves was sent by Stilgar, to inform Alia Atreides that both Duncan Idaho and Ziarenko Javid were dead and that Stilgar had fled into the desert with her niece Ghanima Atreides and her sister-in-law Princess Irulan Corrino. Alia took Buer as a lover and then sent him to "negotiate" with Stilgar for the return of Ghanima and Irulan, offering to make Buer the Tabr Naib himself if he killed Stilgar.

Searching for Stilgar[]

Argaves led a search party to find Stilgar, Ghanima Atreides and Irulan Corrino. He was frequently interrupted in his search, however, to report back to Alia. After meeting friends at the Red Chasm Sietch, Argaves discovered Stilgar and his band at an abandoned djedida. He falsely promised to Stilgar that Alia would forgive him if he turned himself in. Alia placed a beacon in a pair of boots she had given Agarves as a gift, and as her soldiers raided the secret meeting, Stilgar killed Agarves as Alia had hoped all along.
