Feyd-Rautha is the younger nephew of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen and figures heavily in the Baron's plans to gain power. He is, for a while, the Na-Baron, or heir to the throne. The Baron favors the handsome and charismatic Feyd-Rautha over Feyd's older brother Glossu Rabban, "The Beast," because of Feyd's extreme intelligence and his dedication to the Harkonnen culture of carefully-planned and subtly executed sadism and cruelty, as opposed to Rabban's outright brutality. To promote Feyd's power, he is to be installed as ruler of Arrakis after a period of tyrannical misrule by Glossu Rabban, making Feyd appear to be the savior of the people.
