Dalak Fenring was the husband of Wensicia Corrino, daughter of the deposed Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV, and the father of Farad'n who reminded of him Dalak was very closed to himself and complex to understand. He was related to Count Hasimir with whom he shared dandiness and fanaticism. After the Ascension of House Atriedes, under Paul Atreides, Wensicia joined her father and his entire family in exile on Salusa Secundus. As an attempt to re-gain Hasimir Fenring as an ally, Shaddam encouraged his daughter to marry Dalak, which she did; and subsequently produced a male heir, little Farad'n.
