production to CHOAM and the Padishah Emperor Elrood IX, and are stockpiling it for their own purposes. Margot and her future husband Count Fenring later convince Emperor Shaddam IV to marry Revered Mother Anirul by explaining the benefits of an alliance with the Bene Gesserit. Through this arrangement the Sisterhood seek influence over the Imperial throne by ensuring that Shaddam will never have a son. Dune: House Harkonnen (2000) In Dune: House Harkonnen, Margot seeks out the Fremen on Arrakis in search of a group of Bene Gesserit sisters working on the Missionaria Protectiva, including the Reverend Mother Ramallo, who had previously disappeared. The manual from a Fremen desert survival pack called a fremkit, similar to the Bene Gesserit Azhar Book but "adapted to Fremen ways", indicates to Margot that the Bene Gesserit have integrated themselves into Fremen society and implanted the myths of the Missionaria Protectiva into Fremen culture. Paul of Dune (2008) In "Paul of Dune", Margot and Count Fenring are raising Feyd and Margot's daughter—whom they have named Marie—as their own. Between the events of Dune and Dune Messiah (1969), the Fenrings train their child as both an assassin and a Bene Gesserit, but reject the interference of the Sisterhood itself in favor of their own plans for Marie to seize the Imperial throne from Paul Atreides. Marie has Margot's blond hair and features, as well as Feyd's pale blue eyes. At age six, the Fenrings declare her ready. Marie is accepted into Paul's court as a playmate for his young sister Alia. At a banquet with her visiting parents, Marie and the Fenrings execute their well-planned assassination attempt on Paul. Alia manages to kill Marie, but Margot's revelation of her daughter's paternity surprises Paul enough to allow Count Fenring to stab him mortally. Paul's concubine Chani uses the poisonous Water of Life to help save him, and he lives. Rather than kill the Fenrings, Paul banishes them to Salusa Secundus into permanent exile with Shaddam, whom they now loathe. In adaptations The character of Margot was to have an increased role in the film adaptation of Dune planned by director Alejandro Jodorowsky in the 1970s, which was never made. Both Margot and Count Fenring are omitted from David Lynch's 1984 film Dune. However, Count Fenring plays a minor part in the 2000 miniseries Frank Herbert's Dune, and some of Margot's actions are attributed to Princess Irulan
