Baron Vladimir Harkonnen is a 6'3 tall man in his early 80s. He has deep blue eyes, is bald, and morbidly obese, using suspensors to support his weight and maintain his mobility (wich gives him the ability to float around). His skin is quite pale (The sun on Giedi Prime, the planet of House Harkonnen, emits infrared light, which makes everything on the planet look black and white). He is extremely intelligent and cunning, but also cruel, merciless, arrogant, egoistic and absolutely filthy rich.
