The second in my series of Dune conceptual character sketches.  Shaddam IV, 81st Padishah Emperor of House Corrino (10134-10202).  Born to Elrood IX, he would eventually become the last of the Corrino Emperors, defeated by Paul Muad'Dib, and forced into involuntary exile in 10196 on Selusa Secundus, where he would ultimately die.
