Wellington Yueh
The Suk doctor who betrays House Atreides.
Dr. Wellington Yueh is a Suk doctor and the trusted personal physician of Duke Leto Atreides. In Dune the Baron Harkonnen coerces him into acting as his agent in the Atreides household; Yueh disables the shields around the Atreides palace so the Harkonnen forces can attack, gives the captive Leto the means to try to assassinate the Baron, and leaves survival kits that help Paul and Jessica escape into the desert. He is played by Dean Stockwell in the 1984 film and by Chang Chen in the 2021 film.
