Hey guys whats happening? Niyat here with film comics explained. As requested, today we’re diving back into DUNE with a look at Shaddam Corrino IV, Emperor of the Known Universe until the rise of Maud'Dib.

Padishah Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV, born in the year 10119 AG, marked the culmination of the Corrino lineage as the eighty-first and final sovereign of the Corrino Empire. His tenure commenced in 10156 AG, characterized by the patricide of his father, Emperor Elrood IX, in collaboration with his confidant, Count Hasimir Fenring.

His reign was ultimately eclipsed by Paul Atreides in 10193 AG, consequent to the Arrakis Revolt—a pivotal moment many historians attribute to Shaddam IV's preoccupation with ceremonial courtly duties and the grandeur of his station. The emperor's legacy is further distinguished by his bold yet futile attempts to liberate his rule from the influential grasp of the Spacing Guild, the Bene Gesserit, and the powerful conglomerate CHOAM.

In a strategic alliance with Count Fenring, he spearheaded the ill-fated Project Amal on Ix, a twenty-year endeavor to synthesize an artificial variant of the vital spice melange. This venture, nearing fruition, was accompanied by the initiation of the Great Spice War aimed at annihilating the melange reserves of the Landsraad's Great Houses—an effort that also met with defeat.

Tragedy befell his consort, Anirul—a Bene Gesserit of concealed status—who perished in the same year as the conflict. Following his overthrow, Shaddam IV faced exile to Salusa Secundus, a planet previously notorious as a penal colony, along with Count Fenring and his progeny—five daughters named Irulan, Chalice, Rugi, Josifa, and Wensicia.

In this video, we’re going to his early life, the backstabbing and death that paved the way for his ascension, the great Spice Wars and war of the assassins, the rise of House Atreides, and finally the downfall of the once mighty House Corrino.
