	Bene Tleilax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Bene Tleilax or Tleilaxu are a secretive society in the fictional Dune universe created by Frank Herbert in the Dune series of novels.
		The Bene Tleilax are genetic manipulators, equivalent in power to a major house in the Imperium.
		By the events of Chapterhouse: Dune, the Bene Tleilax had been all but eradicated...save for one Master, Scytale, presumedly a ghola of the original Scytale of Dune: Messiah (though the Scytale from Dune Messiah was a face dancer whereas the one in Chapterhouse: Dune was a Master) who was captured by the Bene Gesserit.

	Heretics of Dune - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Teg is the Mentat son of a Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother (RM), bred to serve the Sisterhood as the commanding Bashar of all their forces.
		Odrade is considered something of a loose cannon in the Bene Gesserit: other Sisters are suspicious of Odrade's limited prescience (inherited through her Atreides genes), an ability that manifests itself in subtle detections of threats to the Sisterhood.
		The Bene Tleilax are secretly an intensely religious organization who have long nursed dreams of hegemony of human space, dominating others under the weight of their religion.

		In ''Dune Messiah'', the Bene Tleilax Tleilaxu Scytale reveals that the Bene Tleilax created their own ''Kwisatz Haderach''s--in their case, beings of pure evil or pure good, indicating that the term "Kwisatz Haderach" means some sort of creature of essence.
		Bene Gesserit are trained in the use of their voice (it is always capitalized "the Voice" in the novels) to compel obedience in listeners on a subconscious level.

		Template:Spoiler Axlotl tanks are produced by the Bene Tleilaxu and serve as wombs in which a clone or ghola can be grown; in later books the axlotl tanks have been upgraded to be capable of producing the spice melange.
		Teg is the Mentat son of a Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother, born to serve the Sisterhood as the commanding Bashar of all their forces.
		In Heretics of Dune, the Bene Gesserit become the consumers of Duncan Idaho clones; significantly, when Idaho recovers his memories, he recovers the memories of all his ghola incarnations, apparently even including previous gholas from whom no cells could be recovered.

		Indeed, when Baron Harkonnen made the order to the Bene Tleilax to produce for him a twisted mentat, the original Piter de Vries was purchased from the Mentat school and conditioned.
		This was done a number of ways, one of which of the rape of his mother in front of him by a respected mentor of his, in addition to other horrific acts that emotionally scarred him and twisted him into the type of Mentat the Baron had ordered.
		The Bene Tleilax, though being master cloners, were not able to produce a ghola from cells alone until the time of Heretics of Dune.

	RPGnet: The Inside Scoop on Gaming
		Since the Bene Gesserit Way skill is basically the Observation skill, only except that it can only be used to "read" people and it gets a bonus against any attempt to decieve it, it probably would have made more sense to have an advantage that gave adepts a bonus to Observation for certain uses.
		Bene Gesserit martial arts are covered by the Weirding Combat advantage (more on that when I cover the combat chapter) and the feats of personal control are covered under the Prana-Bindu Conditioning advantage.
		They don't point to Bene Gesserit manipulations, cuckoldry and marital jealousy, or genealogical research as ideas for plot elements, though - their idea of representing this theme in game is "have the players defend their House against attack".

		If she masters the confrontation, she emerges as a Reverend Mother, a Bene Gesserit of terrifying abilities, fully in command of her Other Memories, the collective egos of her female ancestors.
		Later, an artificial method of producing the spice is discovered by the Bene Tleilaxu, who develop in secret the technology to produce melange from axlotl tanks later in the series.

		A new political tripod will be formed: the Bene Gesserit with their mental training and the Bene Tleilax with their Spice-producing axolotl tanks will be balanced out by the new technological reign of Ix.
		A big miltary operation had been planned, communicating with Bene Gesserit operatives still amongst the Honoured Matres, and those in the sietch would be central to it all.
		She was an inexperienced fighter and no match for Murbella - who was widely regarded to be the best fighter of both Bene Gesserit and Honoured Matres - but equipped with an unusually sharp mind, and of vast potential value to the future of the Sisterhood.

	Review of Frank Herbert's Heretics of Dune
		In some ways, this book belongs to the Bene Gesserit, so the intrigue is indeed intense, but we encounter more bizarre sexual behaviour from the Sisterhood and their enemies than some might wish to know.
		The Bene Gesserit are raising a ghola of Duncan Idaho for some mysterious reasons of their own.
		This clone was supplied by the Bene Tleilax, about whom we find out a great deal for the first time in the series (which enriches this book considerably).

		A leading Master speaking for the Bene Tleilax claimed that intelligence operatives in the employ of House Alexin had been aprehended in the Thalim system early last week apparently during an attempt to abduct a prominant 'scientist' from the radical religious group.
		This incident is the first of its kind in recent history: the Landsraad and Imperium have left the Bene Tleilax to their own devices, considering them an unimportant and obnoxious element.
		The Bene Gesserit is known to have conflicting ideals with the Tleilaxu and it is known little love is lost between the two.

	Ghola by Frank Herbert from Dune Messiah at Technovelgy.com
		The Bene Tleilax are the only guild or group in the Imperium that uses genetics and gene-manipulation on human beings, and they are distrusted accordingly.
		I can't really give more without telling one of the main themes of the story, but let's just say that the Bene Tleilax do not consider their Duncan Idaho to be finished.
		You get the sense that the Bene Tleilax are constantly researching and constantly testing to push the boundaries of what is possible with technology.

		Servants of the Bene Tleilax, Face Dancers are near-perfect mimics; their name is derived from their ability to change their appearance literally at will.
		Throughout most of the Dune timeline, only the Bene Gesserit-trained can detect a Face Dancer by sight; Face Dancers are liable to give away their identities, though, since they lack the memories of the people they replace.
		By the end of the novel, it looks as if the Bene Tleilax will be forced into an alliance with the Bene Gesserit.
