The first teaser for Dune: Part Three is here, and among the many new elements it shows off, it introduces Robert Pattinson's enigmatic character Scytale, a key figure in the Dune mythos. But who is Scytale? And how does he play into the saga of Paul Atreides?
Dune has some of the densest, most expansive mythology of any sci-fi story, spanning thousands of years, hundreds of characters, and an entire lexicon of special terms, many of which apply to the extensive history of Scytale.
