Lady Anirul Corrino (-10176 AG) was a Bene Gesserit of Hidden Rank who married Shaddam Corrino IV, the 81st Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe. As such, she was the mother of Princess Irulan Corrino and the grandmother of Prince Farad'n Corrino.
Anticipating the imminent arrival of the Kwisatz Haderach, the Sisterhood wanted to open the door for the Atreides/Harkonnen offspring to marry a Corrino daughter and become Emperor. Anirul dutifully complied with her orders and gave birth to five daughters: Irulan, Wensicia, Josifa, Chalice and Rugi.
Anirul trained Irulan in the Weirding Way and the Prana-bindu methods of the Bene Gesserit.
Death
According to the Almanak en-Ashraf, Anirul died while trying to save the young na-Duke Paul Atreides from being abducted off-world by Harkonnen Mentat Piter de Vries.
