Veteran Brother Tamerlaine: Tamerlane, founder of the Timurid Empire.
Apothecary Iscario Seneca: Seneca the Younger, advisor to Emperor Nero.
Centurion Ricimer: Flavius Ricimer, de facto ruler of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century, also the son of a Suevi King of Galicia.
Strike Leader Malaric: Malaric, last Suevi King of Galicia.
Battle Brother Raban: Rabban Harkonen in Dune, who was assigned governorship of Arrakis.
Retaliator Ajax: Ajax, Mythical Greek hero, son of King Telamon. Also the name of a War Rocket in the 80s Flash Gordon film which like the 80s Dune film was produced by Dino De Laurentiis..
Arch-Centurion Carnac Commodus: Commodus, Roman Emperor.
