Padishah Shaddam IV

Uh! Uh! Shaddam é mal...Tá pra nascer um cara mais focado e obstinado que o Shaddam...o cara, que tinha tudo contra ele, aquele vagabundo que podia ficar de fanfarronice no Império, sem estresse, se mostra uma das figuras mais frágeis e ao mesmo tempo mais sagazes do universo Duna...Esse cara, por incrível que pareça, começou a subir no conceito quando nos Prequels ele entra numa de criar o sintetic spice com os Tleilaxu....Um cara totalmente desprovido de paradigas....

Wikipedia Description....

Shaddam was born in year 10,134 A.G.[1] (After Guild), the son of Elrood Corrino IX, the 80th Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe and the ruler of the Imperial House Corrino. During his childhood, Shaddam became close friends with Count Hasimir Fenring, whose mother Lady Chaola Fenring was a Bene Gesserit and lady-in-waiting to Shaddam's mother Habla, the fourth wife of Elrood IX. Lady Fenring served as wet nurse to both her son Hasimir and Shaddam; according to one source, Fenring's mother may also have been a sister to Elrood.
Shaddam is described as "red-haired" by his daughter Irulan via epigraph in Dune.

In year 10,156, Shaddam succeeded his father as the 81st Emperor of the House Corrino; it was speculated that he and Fenring had somehow orchestrated Elrood's death. This was confirmed in Dune: House Atreides when Elrood was poisoned by slow acting chaumurky administered to him by Fenring (at Shaddam's bidding). It was also revealed that not only had Shaddam been complicit in the murder of his elder brother, the Crown Prince Fafnir, but had secretly administered contraceptives to his own mother, Habla, so she couldn't conceive another son to rival him.
According to Paul Atreides, Shaddam managed to secure his throne by providing the Spacing Guild with melange from planet Arrakis and arranging his own marriage to a Bene Gesserit. His marriage to Lady Anirul Sadow-Tonkin Corrino (who died in year 10,176 A.G.) resulted in the birth of five daughters: Irulan, Chalice, Wensicia, Josifa and Rugi.
Shaddam's lack of legitimate sons (orchestrated by the Bene Gesserit) ensured that he was the last Emperor of House Corrino. His heir would be a son-in-law belonging to another noble House. This realisation did not prevent Shaddam from efforts to maintain imperial power. Years 10,156 through 10,172 would see the ranks of nobility double in number. The growing competition among the nobles effectively prevented them from joining against the Emperor.
The foundation of Shaddam's power at the time were considered to be the Sardaukar, his imperial army of soldier-fanatics.
