Paul Atreides is the scion and heir of a powerful noble family, whose appointment to the control of Arrakis brings them into conflict with its former overlords, House Harkonnen. Paul is also possibly the Kwisatz Haderach, a messianic figure expected by the Bene Gesserit sisterhood.

He is also known for his roles in another two of Twin Peaks co-creator David Lynch's films: Paul Atreides in Dune (1984) and Jeffrey Beaumont in Blue Velvet (1986).

Paul Atreides (10176 A.G. - 10219 A.G.), predominantly known as Muad'Dib (also called Usul by the Fremen and The Atreides Bastard by the Bene Gesserit) was the last Duke of the noble House Atreides.

Paul : Irulan shall be my wife, opening the way for an Atreides to sit on the throne. Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV : I sit on the throne! Paul : You will sit on a throne on Selusa Secundus, your prison planet! Either that, or you will die.
