Pardot Kynes
Pardot Kynes is a fictional character in the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. He was the imperial planetologist/ecologist of Arrakis prior to the start of the Dune novel.
Pardot Kynes realized that the desert climate of Arrakis could be made temperate through a slow terraforming process. He became leader of the Fremen when they interpreted his findings as religious prophecy. He had a son, Liet-Kynes, who inherited his position.
Kynes did not actually appear in the Dune novels; he had died before the start of the original series. Detailed information on him was included in the appendices as background material on the Dune universe and as a discussion on the nature of religion and ecology.
