Paul Atreides is the main character of the 2021 film Dune. He is the son of Duke Leto Atreides and Lady Jessica. Paul is portrayed by Timothée Chalamet.
Born on the planet Caladan, Paul begins experiencing vivid visions of the future in the form of dreams, including an attack on Arrakis, and a yet-to-come relationship with Chani Kynes.
The son of a great man and royal heir to the noble House Atreides, young Paul has spent his entire life being prepared for the greatness that comes with his family’s name. Haunted by visions of a mysterious girl and an inevitable future, he is called to leave his childhood homeworld behind for a new life on the most dangerous planet in the Known Un...
Early History
Paul is the only son and heir of Duke Leto of House Atreides and his concubine Lady Jessica. Paul was raised on the planet Caladan, training under the influence of high ranking Atreides soldiers and family friends, Gurney Halleck, Duncan Idaho, and Thufir Hawat. Given his mothers role as a member of the Bene Gesserit, Paul received training from her on the ways of the organisation, but also on the ability to use the Voice. Despite Paul's advanced training, he often found it difficult to control The Voice and therefore, was not as advanced as his mother had hoped.
Eagerness and doubts
When House Atreides is given stewardship of Arrakis, a vast planet home to the most valuable substance in the universe, Spice Melange, Paul is desperate to visit the planet with Duncan Idaho, and begs his master to take him with him. Idaho refuses, citing that it is no place for him yet, but also that he would be court-marshalled for breaking Leto's rules. Paul is reluctant to let the matter rest, however, and talks directly with his father about the matter. Leto refutes Paul, citing that he must be protected as the only heir of Atreides, but also that he will become more involved with the running of Caladan during this time. Paul shares his concerns with inheriting the role of Duke, but his father remarks that he will always be the most important thing: his son. Paul becomes confused and inquisitive when he begins having dreams of a girl within the desert. The recurrent dreams present themselves as visions to Paul, and he believes that he is seeing the future. It quickly becomes clear that the visions are set on the Arrakis, which makes Paul — and those around him — more inquisitive.
Treatment by the Bene Gesserit
Shortly after he is denied travel to Arrakis, Paul is woken during the night by his mother, who reveals that the Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam has heard of his dreams and come to visit him. She explains the importance of the visit and asks Paul to comply with her every wish, to which he agrees. Before entering the room to meet with Mohiam, he is warned by Yueh — the Suk Doctor — that the Bene Gesserit have their own ulterior motives therefore he must be wary of them. Seconds after their meeting, Paul becomes wary of Mohiam when she dismisses Jessica, citing that it is rude for her to be dismissed in her own home, but Mohiam simply remarks that she was once Jessica's teacher. Mohiam subjects Paul to a test under the Gom Jabbar, which he graciously passes with ease. Mohiam is surprised, but nonetheless impressed. Paul questions the Bene Gesserit's motives further when he overhears a conversation between Mohiam and his mother in which they talk about the The One, a prophesied son that will bring peace to the universe. Jessica explains that the Bene Gesserit has been manipulating bloodlines for centuries to bring about The One, but that some believe he has already arrived.
Paul is a young man with black hair and fair skin. He has a slim athletic build.
Paul is very serious and both inward and outward thinking. He tends to notice the subtle changes in a person's behavior.
Paul is adapted from the character of the same name from the original Dune novel.
