Unconvinced by Jessica's mystical performance, he demanded the right to test her part in the legend through combat with her champion: Paul. Jessica and Stilgar tried both persuasion and trickery lo convince him otherwise, but Janus persisted. Although Jamis was an expert with the crysknife in either hand, he was no match for one steeped in the devious ways of the Bene Gesserit and trained by the likes of Gurney Halleck and Duncan Idaho. He could have had no conception of the exquisite fineness of Paul's skill, Jamis' death bought Paul his sietch name, Usul, and made him one of the Ichwan Bedwine with the manhood name of Paul Maud'Dib. Befitting a man of his standing, Jamis was given a full ritual funeral. Paul received Jamis' water, as was the custom, and inherited his yaii, possessions (excluding the funeral gifts), and woman, Harah. The whole tribe rightly mourned Jamis' passing, for indeed, they all lost on that unfortunate day his temper drove him to challenge Paul Atreides. The records of various sietches attest to Jamis' value to the Fremen society and his embodiment of the best Fremen qualities: strength, superb fighting ability, desert wisdom, tribal loyalty and dedication to Fremen dreams and ideals. The Songs of Maud'Dib by the Princess Irulan preserves for us the "Dirge for Janus on the Funeral Plain": Do you wrestle with dreams? Do you contend with shadows? Do you move in a kind of sleep? Time has slipped away.
