Yresk [d. 10156 AG] was one of Helena Richese's old retainers from Richese, who followed her to Caladan, where he worked as a Stablemaster for Duke Paulus Atreides.
Before the Duke's murder by a Salusan bull which had been tampered with, he locked Duncan Idaho, who expressed concerns about the bulls, in the stables before the bullfight.
After the murder, Yresk lied about trapping Duncan and thus indirectly causing the Duke's death. The new Duke, Leto Atreides, ordered the Mentat Thufir Hawat to question the Stablemaster, and later secretly told Thufir to not allow Yresk to survive the interrogation, for fear of what else he might reveal. Because of this, he was mistakenly implicated in the assassination.
