Ziarenko Javid [d. 10219 AG] was a Fremen follower of Padishah Emperor Paul "Muad'Dib" Atreides, who was the High Priest of the Qizarate following the execution of the treacherous Korba. In his later years he became the lover of his sister, Regent Alia Atreides.
Biography[]
- This article is a stub: It may require more information.
Javid was born in Sietch Jacurutu as the son of its Naib, Namri. He was trained by his father to one day become one of the water stealers, but Javid left his father and the Iduali of Jacurutu, becoming a Priest and the Regent Alia Atreides' Master of Appointments.
In the last years of her regency, the ego-memory spectre of the deceased Baron Vladimir Harkonnen suggested that the Regent Alia take him as a lover. Soon after their relationship began, Swordmaster Duncan Idaho, a Mentat-ghola and Alia's husband, surmised the affair and this severely angered him. During the revolt of the Naibs, Duncan killed Javid publicly in Sietch Tabr, both as revenge and in an attempt to force the hand of Tabr Naib Stilgar. Indeed, his death provoked Stilgar to abandon his position of neutrality between Alia and the rebel Fremen by killing Duncan in turn.
Description[]
Javid had 'surly features', shadowed eyes and round cheeks.[9] He had an unusual accent[10] full of outdated pronunciations due to his isolation at Sietch Jacurutu.[11] He was well-fed.[12]

Behind the scenes[]
- The 2003 Sci-Fi Channel miniseries Children of Dune indicates that Javid was still in league with the members of Sietch Jacurutu in his time as High Priest. He was also seen during the events of Dune Messiah as a child, helping Korba set the stoneburner. He is portrayed by Rik Young as an adult and by David Backovsky as a child
