Korba was one of the original Fedaykin under the command of Paul Atreides during the Arrakis Revolt. After Paul succeeded Shaddam IV on the Golden Lion Throne, Korba became a leading priest on Paul's Qizarate. His official title was "Panegyrist." 12 years after Jihad swept across the Known Universe, Korba became embroiled in a conspiracy to martyr him. This conspiracy included Princess Irulan, Reverend Mother Mohiam, Edric the Spacing Guild Navigator, and Scytale, the Tleilaxu Face Dancer. Korba was killed after his complicity in the conspiracy was discovered.
