The shocking twist involving Desmond Hart in Dune: Prophecy proves that him and Paul Atreides are very similar characters. Paul Atreides is the most important character in the Dune films. He is the heir of House Atreides, who was left stranded on Arrakis with his mother, Lady Jessica, after his family was betrayed by the Harkonnens. However, he successfully integrates himself with the Fremen in Dune: Part Two, and eventually leads them in a battle against the forces of the Imperium.
