	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Leto Atreides I
		Leto I was reportedly born in year 10,140 after the formation of the Spacing Guild, to Duke Paulus Atreides and Lady Helena Atreides.
		Leto realized what she had done immediately, and banished her to live in a remote location with the Sisters in Isolation rather than execute her, as public knowledge of what she had done would have a large impact on House Atreides.
		Leto and Kailea eventually grew apart, and after the arrival of a second, Bene Gesserit concubine to whom Leto found himself freshly attracted and in love with, she attempted to take matters into her own hands by attempting to kill Leto.

		Leto, still paralyzed, but conscious, attempts to kill the Baron by breaking the gas capsule, but misjudges his moment, and is only successful in killing the Baron's advisor and mentat, Piter de Vries.

		Mother of Paul Atreides and grandmother of Leto II and Ghanima, Lady Jessica is the most important woman in Dune's lengthy history.
		Jessica's Hetaira role was emphasized by the fact that Duke Leto made her his Lady concubine but never his Lady wife; few societal sanctions supported (or confined) her Archetypal compassionate vitality.
		Leto 11 was comfortable with the Hetaira, Amazon, Medium, and Mother within himself, but was sure that the Terrible Mother governed all natural events; he sacrificed his subjective humanity to buy time from the objective monster Mother Nature he imagined.

	Kevin J. Anderson & Brian Herbert's Prelude to Dune: House Atreides. The Eternal Night Science Fiction, Fantasy and ...
		Duke Leto Atreides is a major character in this book, but not the mature composed Duke from the beginning of the first Dune book.
		But the fact that we know he becomes the mature Duke Frank Herbert wrote about, means we know he survives this series, so Anderson and Brian Herbert had their work cut out to make this a gripping tale.
		We also get to meet Paul's Grandfather, Duke Paulus Atreides (Leto's Father), in the first half of the book, whose interactions with Leto set up the reader's understanding of the famous Atreides honesty and sense of honor.
