Teachers & SchoolsIn the original Dune, Idaho is a minor character. He shows up only three times: once to introduce Stilgar, once to drunkenly spill the beans about Hawat's plan in front of Jessica, and one final time to rescue Paul and Jessica and bring them to Kynes. He then heroically sacrifices himself to save Paul and… that's it. His role is done.
