Raghba (Faris) - Dave Heaton

Raghba (Faris)(Edit)

DoB: 02/02/10,162

Raghba is a twelve-year-old Fremen boy - now the adopted son of the Naib. The Naib doesn't really have that much time for him these days, and neither does his mother, who is far more interested in maintaining her position of power over the Naib.

He's just approaching the age at which he'll ride his first maker, and is looking forward to it. He's particularly looking forward to stepping out of his dead father's shadow.

He is tall for his age, about 5' 2", and is just beginning to fill out his frame. His dark hair is still glossy with youth and curls around his face. His voice - if it were to stay in one octave for more than a sentence at a time - is developing a friendly but commanding tone, but he smiles less and less these days.

His father, Da'Summ, called out the leader of the sietch in an attempt to gain control of it, but was killed in the ensuing duel. His mother, Ibhama, was taken as the naib's wife, and he and his brother Qaliilan (5 years old) were taken in as his sons.

Other members of the tribe wonder why his father made the challenge - it wasn't well supported, and Raghba feels that they are judging him as cut from a similar hot-tempered, arrogant mould.

He has studied hard, and learned a lot from his elders. He tries to be patient, clear-headed and a good Fremen; but he is, at the same time, only twelve. There are a lot of lessons that life has yet to teach him.
