Naib Dhartha [d. 174 BG] was the Zensunni leader of a tribal Sietch on Arrakis.

He had dark eyebrows and jet-black hair bound into a ponytail by a metal ring. He also wore a tattoo of dark angles and straight lines on his left cheek, drawn with inkvine ink by his wife

Dhartha exiled Selim from his Zensunni sietch, and the young man would later go on to become the legendary Selim Wormrider, and Dhartha's archnemesis.

Dhartha would ultimately be devoured by a Sandworm, summoned by Selim.

This was not a council session or a discussion, but a pronouncement, and all those present knew not to argue with the Naib. His spice-blue eyes were red- rimmed, like pits gouged from his face with a blunt knife.
  2. Dune: The Butlerian Jihad - Chapter 7: Naib Dhartha had dark eyebrows and jet-black hair bound into a ponytail by a dull metal ring. A purplish geometric tattoo of dark angles and straight lines marked his left cheek. His wife had drawn it on his face using a steel needle and the juice of a scraggly inkvine the Zensunni cultivated in their terrarium gardens.
