Player Character

The character controlled by the player is a central figure to the story of the game. Their identity, history and curious abilities are a driving force of the story. There is no singular 'canon' appearance for the player character but this is addressed and explained through the story.

This article is written chronologically through the game's story chapters, as each reveals key information about the player character. Expand each section to show what is known by the end of the respective chapter.

Book One

In the game's opening cinematic 'The Vision of Paul Atreides', the Alternative Timeline is established, but also Paul states "All of my visions lead to horror. Except this one. This one leads to you". This establishes that the player is not a replacement for Paul, a Kwisatz Haderach or the Lisan al-Gaib, but also someone pivotal to story events.

The gameplay begins with the Character Customization process, where the player chooses their character's physical appearance. Through a conversation with the Reverend Mother they choose their homeworld, caste and starting Archetype. They are then dispatched to Arrakis with two objectives:

• Find the Fremen
• Wake the Sleeper

While receiving these commands, the Reverend Mother appears to use The Voice and a mark glows on the character's left cheek. These glowing marks do not usually appear when someone is afflicted by the Voice.

The character is then transported to Arrakis as a prisoner on a Sardaukar prison ship, destined to work as a slave rebuilding Neo-Carthag. The ship is intercepted and shot down by the outlaw Zantara. When he finds the injured player, he remarks they cannot be the "Alshaahid Akadhib" but takes them to the safety of a nearby watersealed cave to recover.
