Who turned (spoilers) into a weapon?

Dune: Prophecy Finale has aired, and Season 1 ended having raised more questions than it answered. The most prevalent among them is undoubtedly the identity of the mysterious enemy who turned Desmond Hart (Travis Fimmel) into a biological weapon.

In episode 6, titled “The High-Handed Enemy,” Valya (Emily Watson) sets her plans in motion to dethrone Javicco Corrino and replace him with his daughter. Meanwhile, Tula (Emma Canning), after discovering that Desmond is her son, tries to find a cure for the viral nightmares with disastrous consequences.

Who planted the thinking machine and the virus in Desmond Hart in Dune: Prophecy?

Dune: Prophecy’s Finale does not explicitly reveal who planted the thinking machine inside Desmond Hart, turning him into a bioweapon. Early in episode 6, Tula discusses the nightmares with Nazir, a member of the Sisterhood who had extensive medical training. They deduce that it is a virus that lives on fear. However, Nazir dies while trying to create an anti-viral cure using prana-bindu.

Towards the end of the episode, Valya has a vivid vision of Desmond after her confrontation with the latter. She partially learns what happened to him, but the important aspects of the mystery elude her. Valya discovers that a hooded figure used a thinking machine to implant smaller thinking machines into Desmond’s eye, turning him into a carrier of the virus.

Since Valya only sees the silhouette of the hooded individual, their identity, motives, and even their gender are unknown. Perhaps it is someone who deeply loathes the Sisterhood and wants to destroy it through Desmond. They could potentially be someone the Order knew during the war against the thinking machines. This person is likely seeking revenge and wants to destroy the Sisterhood as they believe the Order wronged them.

Alternatively, it could be someone who has a personal vendetta against Tula and Valya and wants to thwart their plans to control the Empire. A surviving Atreides from the massacre Tula committed is a possibility, but unlikely.

Further, while it’s pretty safe to assume that this person knew what Desmond’s potential was, it’s unclear if they knew the truth about his parentage. With Season 2 officially greenlit last week, it’s one of the mysteries fans are hoping will be addressed in the sophomore chapter.
