  Bene Tleilax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The use of "Bene" before their name suggests that they are an order of some kind, like the Bene Gesserit; this becomes clear in the last two books of the series.
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.
In Heretics of Dune, it is revealed that the Tleilaxu have developed the ability to grow the spice melange in axolotl tanks, breaking the monopoly on spice that Arrakis held for thousands of years which strongly determined the economics and the politics of the Imperium.

Much later in the series, it is revealed that the masters of the Tleilaxu have been using this as an improvised device for immortality: at their death, they are cloned; their clone recovers its memories, and the masters, in their serial incarnations, have memories stretching back thousands of years.
In Heretics of Dune, it is revealed that the Tleilaxu can also create the spice melange in axolotl tanks, breaking the monopoly on spice that Arrakis held for thousands of years which strongly determined the economics and the politics of the Imperium.

 Bene Tleilaxu
The Bene Tleilaxu are a group of genetic manipulators, equivalent in power to a major house.
At the time of Dune, gholas have no access to the lives of the person from whom they were cloned, but after Dune Messiah, it's discovered that a ghola can recover her genetic memory during a carefully staged moment of great stress.

 Heretics of Dune   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Odrade is considered something of a loose cannon in the Bene Gesserit, people are suspicious of the limited prescience, that can detect threats to the sisterhood, which she possesses as a consequence of her Atreides genes; and the fact that she does not obey normal Bene Gesserit prohibitions about showing emotion.
The Bene Gesserit are fiercely divided on the issue of the Duncan Idaho gholas, a strong minority believes that they are dangerous to the Bene Gesserit, and owing to the Byzantine nature of Sisterhood politics, they have placed one of their leaders, Schwagyanu, in charge of the project.
In turns out that the Bene Tleilaxu are secretly and intensely religious organization, who have long nursed dreams of hegemony of human space, and the imposition of their religion.

 Golden Path - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Where once there was a secret society (the Bene Gesserit) and a ruling family (the Atreides) there was born the noble, purpose-driven, proud, yet wizened Bene Gesserit Sisterhood whose members were all children of the Atreides.
The other results of the rule of Leto II were present in the patterns of science in the Bene Tleilax and the Ixians (both in the scattering and at home in the "Old Imperium").
The main reason why it is doubtful that the "great enemy" would originate with the Tleilaxu or Ixians is that the God Emperor would have seen it, and simply destroyed the Ixians and Tleilaxu while he had the chance; however, he did not.

 Variant: Dune - A Spotlight on Games
As the proprietors of the axolotl tanks, the Bene Tleilaxu are similar to the Guild.

 Face dancers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
As time went on, the Tleilaxu began to use genetic manipulation to enhance natural ability, so that Face Dancers could change height, increase and decrease apparent mass, change colouring and texture, and change facial features.
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.

 Ghola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
An important feature of the Dune universe is 'genetic memory': the ability of some (notably the Bene Gesserit) to recover, through one's genetic heritage, the memories and egos of one's ancestors.
The Tleilaxu masters use the ability of a ghola to recover its memories to grant themselves effective immortality: every master is cloned upon his death, and recovers his genetic memories, accumulating many incarnations worth of knowledge and experience, and permitting planning on a timespan of millennia.
In Heretics of Dune, the Bene Gesserit become the consumers of Duncan Idaho clones; when Idaho recovers his memories, he recovers the memories of all his ghola incarnations, including (apparently) gholas from whom no cells could be reovered for their genetic memory.

Výsledkom mal byť gholovský pár Muad´Diba a Chani, ovládaný Bene Tleilaxom.

To describe the transformation of the Bene Tleilaxu defies the limits of the knowledge of an individual being.
Idah-Mirabla had secured the actual Bene Gesserit grand hall as they traced their origins back to Murbella, one of a dozen icons of the Integration that would prove to make the word "humanity" no longer collectively inclusive of the universes myriad beings.
The Bene Tleilaxu of that day had taken the philosophical question of language to the ultimate level of literalism.

This order, also known as the Imperium, includes the Bene Gesserit, the Spacing Guild, and the Great Houses, including House Atreides, House Corrino, and House Harkonnen.
As the centuries passed, fringe worlds like Ix and Tleilax give birth to the technological powers of the Ixians and the Bene Tleilax.
The Ixians produce cutting-edge mechanical technology beyond the boundary of using "thinking machine" technology; while the Tleilaxu provide biological technology to replace the mechanical technology used before the Jihad.

Považovala Bene Tleilax za ľahkú koriť a prikázala mu zobrať zo sebou dve Ctené matre na Tleilax, s ktorými by plodil (a stal sa ich sexuálnym otrokom).
Za znalosti a technológie Tleilaxu (tvorba gholov, neobmedzený prísun melanže) ponúkla kompletné genetické záznamy a plodné matky, ktoré si budú môcť sami vybrať.
To nakoniec vyhovovalo Bene Gesseritu, ktorý ho mohol ovládať, i Bene Tleilaxu, pretože Sesterstvo tak stratilo jedu zo silných pák, ktorou ich mohlo vydierať.

A great duality of the Tleilaxu is that they are largely xenophobic as well as feared and mistrusted among the rest of the universe, and yet, they have a hand in nearly all that goes on.
This is a view the Tleilaxu have begun to cultivate over time in order to use it to their own ends.
The relationship between the Tleilaxu and the rest of the Imperium is one of ever shifting complexity.

Teg was raised by a mother who was Bene Gesserit, and she actually taught him too much as far as the Bene Gesserit are concerned.
The Tleilaxu now have their own spice supply, they can live forever since they can recreate their leaders and give them their memories back through the ghola-procedure, and they now have Face Dancers so advanced that they can take over the memories of the dead person they "copy".
This forces Teg, Lucilla (the Bene Gesserit Sister that is supposed to imprint Idaho in the ways of sexual manipulation) and Duncan to go into hiding on Gammu, the former stronghold planet of the Harkonnen's.
