	Vladimir Harkonnen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vladimir presumably proved to be the most promising candidate as he was eventually chosen over his younger half-brother Abulurd Harkonnen.
		The Harkonnen army was massacred to the last man, almost all the 300,000 Imperial Sardaukar died, and Vladimir was poisoned by Alia Atreides, his own granddaughter, and took his last breath at the age of 83.
		Frank Herbert's representation of the Baron Harkonnen portrays him as an imposing, powerful man. His eyes are described as "spider-like" and his voice a deep, rumbling basso with a style of dress often including a flowing robe and a collection of rings adorning large hands.

	Abulurd Harkonnen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the fictional Dune universe, Abulurd Harkonnen is the younger half brother to Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, son of Dimitri Harkonnen, through his second wife.
		Whereas Baron Harkonnen tries to harm many, and has only his own well-being at heart, Abulurd tries to help many and thinks of others first.
		Abulard changed his name to Harkonnen after learning that his grandfather, Xavier Harkonnen's reputation was sullied by Jihad propaganda and that he was in fact a hero.

		VLADIMIR HARKONNEN (10,11-10,193) Commonly referred to as Baron Harkonnen, his title is officially Siridar (planetary governor) Baron.
		Vladimir Harkonnen is the direct-line male descendant of the Bashar Abulurd Harkonnen who was banished for cowardice after the Battle of Corrin.
		The return of House Harkonnen to power generally is ascribed to adroit manipulation of the whale fur market and later consolidation with melange wealth from Arrakis.

	Encyclopedia: Vladimir Harkonnen
		Baron is a specific title of nobility or a more generic feudal qualification.
		At the end of Children of Dune Alia commits suicide, in part because she realizes the Baron has virtually surpassed her abilities to control him.
		The original book suggests that the baron's weight is due to his overindulgent lifestyle, therefore, the disease "curse" in the Dune prequel is assumed to retcon this fact.

		One of the great houses of the Imperium, the House Harkonnen is built on a simple foundation of fear and terror, two tactics that make the Baron Harkonnen's underlings that much more dangerous: risk death on the battlefield or suffer a slow, excruciating death in the Baron's chambers as he watches with relish.
		The twisted mentat Piter De Vries served as the baron's mentat and advisor.
		In Dune (novel), the baron Vladimir Harkonnen is killed by Alia Atreides, and his heir Feyd-Rautha is killed shortly therafter by Paul Atreides, effectively destroying the House.

	Jessica Atreides - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jessica was conceived through the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen by Tanidia Nerus, and born to the Bene Gesserit in the year 10,154 after the formation of the Spacing Guild.
		This daughter would be bred to Feyd-Rautha, nephew of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen and heir to House Harkonnen, healing the generations-old rift between House Atreides and House Harkonnen, and producing the Kwisatz Haderach for the Bene Gesserit.
		The change of fief is a trap, however: shortly after committing themselves there, House Harkonnen invades with the tacit support of the Emperor (using the Emperor's Sardaukar disguised as Harkonnen soldiers); the betrayal of the Duke by the family's doctor, Dr. Wellington Yueh, completed the plan, and House Atreides is destroyed in place.

	House Harkonnen
		The Harkonnens' deep hatred for the Atreides stems from the fact that Bashar Abulurd Harkonnen was banished for treachery by an Atreides after the Battle of Corrin.
		Baron Harkonnen is a man of questionable sexual leanings also, as he seems to favour young boys, including the na-Baron, Feyd-Rautha.
		The Baron described him as "a muscle-minded tank brain" who squeezed the spice mining industry on Arrakis relentlessly, as the Baron planned for Feyd-Rautha to take over and be hailed as a benign hero by the people of Arrakis.

	Hasimir Fenring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For this reason Fenring was frequently described as "the Emperor's errand boy" as Shaddam often deployed Fenring to deal with the most troublesome issues within the Empire.
		Baron Vladimir Harkonnen described Fenring, during one such errand, as a "killer with the manners of a rabbit." He was also, strangely, known to have seduced both women and men to his own personal advantage, before meeting his Bene Gesserit wife.
		Although known to be one of the deadliest duelists in the Imperium, Fenring's fearsome reputation in his youth really stemmed from the rumour of his assassination of Shaddam's father in order to place his old friend on the Imperial throne.

		The House Harkonnen is built on a simple foundation of fear and terror, two tactics that make the Baron Harkonnen's underlings that much more dangerous: risk death on the battlefield or suffer a slow, excruciating death in the Baron's chambers as he watches with relish.
		Hailing from an industrial wasteland of a planet called Giedi Prime[?], the House Harkonnen is much like its Baron: cold, ruthless, egomaniacal, but brilliant and lethally efficient.
		In the first Dune novels the baron is Vladimir Harkonnen.

	The Art of Ihsan - Baron Harkonnen

		The Baron and his House would come to play a pivotal role in the death of the Duke, the ending of Shaddam IV's reign and the accession of Duke Paul "Muad'Dib" Atreides to the Golden Lion Throne in 10193.

		The Baron favors the handsome and charismatic Feyd-Rautha over Feyd's older brother Glossu Rabban, "The Beast," because of Feyd's extreme intelligence and his dedication to the Harkonnen culture of sadism and cruelty.
		The Baron planned a strategic marital alliance, hoping to marry Feyd to one of the daughters of the Emperor Shaddam IV, and giving the Harkonnens influence or control over the throne.
		Feyd is famed for his prowess in single combat, and his willingness to break the formal rules of "kanly" that in the universe of Dune govern this type of challenge, by using poison on his weaponry.

	Dune - The Mini Series
		In the midst of trechery and betrayal, Baron Harkonnen invades Arrakis and forces Leto's son Paul (Alec Newman) and mother Jessica (Saskia Reeves) to flee into the harsh desert.
		The Evil Baron Harkonnen hands rulership of Arrakis to his brutal nephew Rabban, who intends to establish order with an iron fist.
		Sometimes the low budget becomes painfully obvious with badly designed sets and poor quality CGI but even the casual viewer can be generous with the intricacies of the various plot elements that entwine through out the three episodes to keep the narrative flowing enough to distract away from the negative.

		This scene is supposed to represent the stronghold of the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen on Giedi Prime (if I've remembered the names correctly; it's about fifteen years since I last read the book).
		Harkonnen is represented by the fat man from the original Zygote Fun Stuff CD.
		And yes, Harkonnen should probably be fatter and more loathesome, but I had to work with the materials I was given: Zygote's 'fat man' model is only intended to represent the average obese American male, not a hideously bloated and corrupt nobleman from some future interstellar empire.
