Life
Odrade is an elite Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother.
The supernatural gifts that Odrade displays intermittently is what the Bene Gesserit both fear and desperately crave. The watchdogs - mainly Bellonda - scrutinize her continually, looking for reasons to terminate her, while Mother Superior Taraza senses the sisterhood needs Odrades precognitive powers to avert imminent destruction at the hands of the Honoured Matres.
When Taraza is killed after a showdown on Arrakis, Odrade gaines her memories - and becomes de facto Mother Superior.
The over-zealous Honoured Matre that kills Odrade met her fate at the hands of Murbella - who subsequently succeeds Odrade.
