Talk:Bijaz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Bijaz is a master?
There is no definitive evidence that Bijaz is a Master! There is a great deal of evidence against it in fact. TMB —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 147.71.3.6 (talk • contribs) 06:04, 30 March 2007.
- Interesting. If there is contradictory evidence in the texts, please present it here. When I get a chance I will look thru my text file of Messiah and see what I find. I think the implication that he is a Master come from the fact that he uses the humming to control Hayt. Only Masters do that, no? TAnthony 16:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- The humming is certainly quite interesting and suggestive, but the important bit from DM is this:
"Scytale is dead," Paul said.
"But I am not and the plan is not," Bijaz said. "By the tank in which I
grew! It can be done! I shall have my pasts ‐‐ all of them. It needs only the
right trigger."
- Which is to say, Bijaz has had multiple pasts, and who else among the Tleilaxu have had multiple lives? The Masters, like the apparently promoted Face Dancer Scytale. (I always sort of wondered about that - if Face Dancers really were the lowest rung of Tleilaxu society, how did Scytale go from Face Dancer to Master?). --Gwern (contribs) 17:09 30 March 2007 (GMT)
