In the fictional Dune universe, Abulurd Harkonnen is the younger half brother to Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, son of Dimitri Harkonnen, through his second wife. He married Emmi Rabban, and fathered Glossu Rabban and Feyd-Rautha Rabban. He is a peace-loving man, and the polar opposite of his older brother, Baron Harkonnen. Whereas Baron Harkonnen tries to harm many, and has only his own well-being at heart, Abulurd tries to help many and thinks of others first. He is sickened and disgusted by his older brothers behavior, as well as by his oldest sons behavior. He petitions and is granted permission to change his last name from Harkonnen to Rabban, in protest of Baron Harkonnens actions. He is planetary governor of Lankiveil.
