The Truth About Dune's Big Bad Guy Vladimir Harkonnen

Even if you're completely unfamiliar with any form of "Dune," you probably have some idea about the story's twisted villain — particularly the big one.

Corpulent, disgusting, and as evil as they come, the powerful Baron Vladimir Harkonnen is a science-fiction icon of mustache-twirling evil, minus the mustache.
