326 IDAHO, 13015 IDAHO, DUNCAN-12720 (d. 12725). A fog-wood sculptor who gained considerable renown throughout the empire for his scenes from early Atreides history. Duncan-12720 was killed when he was crushed by his partially finished statue of Stilgar, an ironic death in light of the death of Duncan-10208. Duncan-12720 is also known for his design of the tortured architecture of Ono, the city created with die primary purpose of viewing the God Emperor. IDAHO, EXmCAH-12921 (d. 12934). A Duncan delivered with Bene Gesserit training in aa attempt to subvert the Rsh Speakers. Completely amused by the attempt, Leto n allowed" him to survive for thirteen years, taking cruel glee in his failures among the Fish Speakers ami parading him in mockery before the Bene Gesserit ambassadors at every opportunity. He was assassinated by the Bene Gesserit when, growing progressively mad, he began to affect the role of a' 'Cogita Vera" (Trathsayer). IDAHO, DOMCAH-13004 (d. 13014). Perhaps the greatest player of the baliset in history, exceeding eves the legendary Gurney Halleck. Trie recordings of his music in the Dar-es-Balat hoard have brought a forgotten master to our era. Like so many of the Duncans. he suffered from what the God Emperor called the ' 'Since Syndrome,'' wanting to know what had happened since he last knew awareness. Fortunately, this tendency came late in his ten-year span, otherwise, a significant quantity of great music would have gone uncreated and unperformed. However, when the "Since Syndrome" did arrive it came with an intensity that could be felt only by a true artist. Realizing at the end of his life that he was subverting his music to his paranoia, Duncan-13004 quietly committed suicide while his recording of Licallo's Second Baliset Concerto played in the background. That recording as well as many others have been located in Leto's collection. IDAHO, DUNCAN-13015 (d. 13021). According to legend, killed by Leto in a rage when he asked the emperor a question. Many have wished to know what that question was, from curiosity seekers to ambassadors who wanted to avoid asking it. With the Rakis discovery, we may be able to solve the mystery. Leto's breeding plan interested Duncan-13015, and his enthusiasm pleased Leto, who allowed him access to his stud books. As his understanding of genetics grew, Duncan prevailed on the emperor to share what information he had of the Bene Gesserit breeding records. Despite the mass of material at his command, Duncan found his progress blocked by a question he could not answer. He learned of the Bene Gesserit's unsuccessful attempt to produce the Kwisat? Haderach in Hasimir Fenring. He knew also that Paul's mother, Jessica, had disobeyed her order's strategy, which called for her child to be a girl who would be mated to Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen. Duncan compared the real and the planned genealogy: IDAHO, 13015 327 IDAHO, 13015 Fenring was a genetic eunuch through some flaw in his inhentance from either his father, the old Count, or his Bene Gesserit mother.
