Staban Tuek appears in a smuggler cavern office, seated behind a metal desk and dressed in Fremen robes. His half-tint blue eyes, heavy overhanging eyebrows, and sharply planar cheeks and nose mark his brief but memorable appearance; the book gives no further account of his history or relationships.
Description
Staban Tuek is an adult man whose half-tint blue eyes are set beneath heavy, overhanging eyebrows. His cheeks and nose have stark, rocklike planes, giving his face a severe, carved quality. He wears Fremen robes and sits with a guarded, composed presence; his build, hair, and other coloring are not specified.
