Korba was one of Paul's Fedaykin death commandos. After Paul launched the Jihad on the universe, his Fedaykin served as commanders of the Fremen troops, and some became priests for the Muad'Dib religion. Among those who became priests for the Muad'Dib was Korba. After becoming a priest, Korba became a fanatical zealot. Korba's zealousness led him to join forces against Paul, and he helped smuggle the stone burner that rendered Paul and his other Fedaykin blind. On orders from Alia, Stilgar killed Korba.
