An asshole on a galactic scale. Pretty campy in the Lynch 1980's Dune, but might be really good in the newer version. Gay, brilliant, really mean, very devious, and at least in the book his preference for men(well boys) is an interesting plot point as a faction needs to get his genetic material for their breeding program and the inheritance of a planetary empire depends on who succeeds him...

Def an asshole, not 'wrong about everything' but evil in a creative and powerful way. Nothing was made of his sexuality in the first part of the movie but it will be in the second.
