Margot, Lady Fenring is a Bene Gesserit<\/strong> and a close friend of Emperor Shaddam but is to her Sisterhood.<\/p>\n

In the novel Dune, Margot is also the wife of the Emperor\u2019s closest friend and cousin, Count Hasimir Fenring.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s a powerful member of the Sisterhood and in the film is seen using seduction to get information out of Butler\u2019s Feyd-Rautha. She reports back to the Sisterhood after capturing his attention.<\/p>\n

They establish that the Sisterhood would be able to control him, with his particular weaknesses being seduction and humiliation.<\/p>\n

Is Count Hasimir Fenring in Dune: Part Two?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No, Count Hasimir Fenring does not appear in Dune: Part Two<\/strong>. It was previously speculated by fans that Tim Blake Nelson could be playing the character, but he does not appear in the film.<\/p>\n

However, that\u2019s not to say that Fenring will not turn up in potential future films. He plays a bigger role in the Prelude to Dune trilogy as one of Emperor Shaddam\u2019s closest friends.<\/p>\n
