Throughout the novel, the readers observe Hayt seeing glimpses of Idaho’s life. A dwarf by the name of Bijaz manipulates Hayt into killing Paul Atreides when he says the words“She is gone”.Before the plan could be executed, Hayt remembers that he was the swordmaster for the Atreides family and instead kills Bijaz while Paul Atreides kills Face Dancer Scytale (the creator of this whole plot).

Hayt is also a part ofChildren of Duneand is also present when Atreides goes off into the desert to die (as is the tradition of blind Fremen).

The recently releasedDune: Part Twohas received rave ratings and is currently screening in theaters across the world.
