== Biography ==
Growing up on the planet Arrakis, Stilgar was a formidable Freman warrior who would eventually become the leader of the local Freman community. In the year 10,191 A.G. (21,267 A.D) Stilgar encountered the young Paul Atreides and his mother, the Lady Jessica. Jessica convinced the Freman leader to grant them sanctuary. After witnessing Paul's combat abilities, Stilgar gave Paul the secret name of Usul and asked him what he would like to be known as publicly. Paul asked him what the Freman called the mouse-shadow on the second moon, to which Stilgar responded Muad'Dib. Paul requested that he be called Paul Muad'Dib. Stilgar responded that he was Paul Muad'dib, and welcomed Jessica as the tribe's new Sayyadina.
Stilgar would later relay Reverend Mother Ramallo's request to Jessica to succeed her as Reverend Mother. He would also give Paul his instruction on how to ride one of Dune's sandworms. Paul in turn trained Stilgar and the Freman in how to use the weirding way and attendant modules to attack the Harkonen.
Over the next two years Stilgar served as Paul's right hand as the Atreides and Freman brought the production of the spice melange to a standstill on Arrakis. After Paul successfully took the water of life, Stilgar helped Paul plan and carry out the attack on the Harkonnen and Imperial forces in the capital, and was there when the Emperor was forced to surrender to Paul after Paul killed Feyd Rautha-Harkonnen. Stilgar was quite impressed when Paul yelled at Feyd's corpse, which cracked the floor open beneath Feyd's corpse and further damaged the deceased Harkonnen's body.
