Bushy, untrimmed gray eyebrows shaded his eyes - Heretics of Dune.

Reverend Mothers - Lucilla, Schwangyu, Alma Mavis Taraza, Darwi Odrade, Bellonda, Tamalane -- Heretics of Dune.

Reverend Mother Darwi Odrade -Senior Security, Odrade had borne nineteen children for the Bene Gesserit. Each child by a different father. Not much unusual about that, but even the most searching gaze could see that this essential service to the Sisterhood had not grossened Odrade's flesh. Her features conveyed a natural hauteur in the long nose and the complementary angular cheeks. Every feature focused downward to a narrow chin: Her mouth, though, was full and promised a passion that she was careful to bridle. She was of the Atreides line. Friends called her "Dar". She was raised on Gammu, a planet rebuilt by the people of Dan (Caladan). She possessed a prescient instinct for detecting threats to the Sisterhood. It came from the wild influence in her genetic line, of course -- the Atreides with their dangerous talents. Two of her offspring were killed by the Sisterhood because they were considered dangerously prescient. - Heretics of Dune

Reverend Mother Lucilla - She is young. Blue-in-blue eyes uncorrected by any lens gave Lucilla a piercing expression that went with her long oval face. With the hood of her black aba robe thrown back as it was now, brown hair was revealed, drawn into a tight barette and then cascading down her back. Not even the stiffest robe could completely hide Lucilla's ample breasts. She was from a genetic line famous for its motherly nature and she already had borne three children for the Sisterhood, two by the same sire. Yes -- a brown-haired charmer with full breasts and a motherly disposition. She supposedly bears a remarkable resemblence to RM Darwi Odrade. Descended from Siona Atreides. She's an imprinter.- Heretics of Dune.

Reverend Mother Schwangyu - Commander of the Gammu Keep, she is elderly and intent on stopping the influx of new Duncan Idaho gholas. Schwangyu was a small woman with many age marks earned in the Sisterhood's affairs. Her conventional black robe concealed a skinny figure that few other than her acolyte dressers and the males bred to her had ever seen. Schwangyu's mouth was wide, the lower lip constricted by the age lines that fanned into a jutting chin. Her manner tended to a curt abruptness that the uninitiated often interpreted as anger. - Heretics of Dune.

Reverend Mother Superior Alma Mavis Taraza - She was tall and supple. Her face was a long oval with soft curved cheeks. She wore her black hair drawn back tightly from a high forehead with a pronounced peak. Taraza's mouth opened minimally when she spoke: superb control of movement. An observer's attention tended to focus on her eyes: that compelling blue-in-blue. The total effect was of a suave facial mask from which little escaped to betray her true emotions Taraza retained much of the beauty that had made her a most reliable breeder with difficult sires. Odrade called her "Tar". - Heretics of Dune.

Romo - Apparently, a planet (?) on which Miles Teg's brother, Sabine, was poisoned to death. - Heretics of Dune.

.

Sabine - Miles Teg's younger brother. Sabine hero-worshiped his brother, Teg. Anything that caught the attention of Miles was of interest to Sabine. He succumbed years later to a poisoner on Romo. - Heretics of Dune.
