The Kwisatz Haderach is a male who has all the properties of a Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother, a Mentat, and a Guild Navigator. Combining all the characteristic traits of the three powerful orders, the Kwisatz Haderach can unlock the genetic memories of both his female and male ancestors; this grants him the power to see into the past, present, and future all at once. The word Kwisatz Haderach translates to "shortening of the way."
