Piter de Vries

Personality:   A high-ranking member of House Harkonnen itself, Piter served as the right-hand man and personal adviser to Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. As a Mentat, he primarily serves as the conniving genius of the Baron's villainous hierarchy, using his immense mental powers to process the data required for House Harkonnen to enact its schemes upon the other Great Houses. However, as a Twisted Mentat produced by the infamous Bene Tleilaxu, de Vries is also a psychopath with an extremely dangerous and sadistic bent and is not afraid to bloody his hands over the course of his duties. Piter de Vries can be described as a complete psychopath and sadist; he is an extremely inmoral individual who congrats himself with the suffering of others and finds pleasure in the most cruel ways of torture. He competely lacks any notion of morals and ethics, which makes him a valuable asset for the Harkonnen's house. His relationship with Baron Harkonnen is curious, to say the least. Piter doesn't show fear for his presence, and he often talks to him in a friendly and sarcastic manner, which ends up frustrating the Baron. Peter is also very aware of the dangers of serving the Harkonnen, knowing that even he can be discarded and executed the moment he fulfils his usefulness. As such, he always tries to remain useful to the Baron's plans. However, he still acts in a calm way about this, as he says that his mental abilities will allow him to know when the Baron will execute him in that scenario. Peter is also extremely smart and a master manipulator; he was able to break the imperial conditioning, which was considered unbreakable. As a mentat, Peter is also capable of processing vast amounts of information and drawing complex plans for the good of the house Harkonnen. He is also a gifted poisoner, as he was able to create residual poisons that remain in the organism of the victim for a long time and are lethal in a short period of time unless the antidote is ingested. Despite his psychopathic and calculation behavior, Piter is not perfect, and he is still capable of mistakes, as remarked by the Baron when referring to the duke Leto's inheritor being a boy instead of a girl. He has also shown an outburst of passion that clouds his judgment, as seen when he murders doctor Yueh. He has also developed a spice addiction to keep his mental abilities at the top, along with the typical Mentat hobby of drinking sapho juice; this has provoked Piter's lips to turn an intense red and his eyes to become completely blue. This addiction is often remarked by the Baron, who says that it is expensive, but tolerates it as it helps him keep Piter as his servitude.
