He is the rightful heir to the planet Caladan by his father, Duke Leto . As a man who was raised in the Bene Geserit teachings by Mother Lady Jessica, he is important for Bene Geserit because he has the potential to become a ” Kwisatz Haderach “. With his birth, he had these two birth rights.
Paul grew up on the planet Caladan until he was 15 years old. By Imperial order, he was sent from Caladan to Arrakis, along with his family, his closest trusted officers, and the Atreides’ troops.
From visual sources he read and watched while growing up in the planet’s barren deserts, Paul learned about the culture of the local people known as the Fremen, honing his own abilities along the way. It had two features that were particularly important:
