Scytale

[Tio_Holtzmann]

In Chapter House Dune, where the hell did Scytale come from? And what happened to Waff?

I beleive they are the same person. This question was recently asked at The Landsraad, and the question/answers can be found at:

That's kinda different tho, I didn't worry bout the Scytale in Messiah, could just be a oft-used tleilaxu name or a genetic upgrade or something. I just can't figure why Waff goes and there's this Scytale from nowhere. Waff doesn't die in Heretics, does he?

I have some memory of a Tlkeilaxu holy council meeting in which Scytale and Waff served contemporaneously.

??? (where is the smilie with question marks when you need him?)

what do you mean served contemporaneously?

It seems that Waff is called Scytale by the narrarator etc, but everyone refers to him as waff.

"Scytale," Waff said.

The youngest and most baby-faced of the councillors, seated at the far left as was fitting, leaned forward eagerly.

"Arm the faithful," Waff said.

not sure if he is referring to himself as scytale or not.

that's possible neo, there was an interval between Heretics and Chapter House. I just noticed that heretics talks constanly of waff, it doesnt say what happens to him and then scytale appears out of nowhere, and im really confussed.....
