Paul Atreides
Duke's son who becomes messianic leader on Arrakis through prescient vision. Paul represents the burden of foresight, the danger of charismatic leadership, and jihad's inevitability despite intentions. His transformation from noble youth to religious figure critiques hero worship and explores free will versus determinism.
