Bene Gesserit

The Bene Gesserit are a key social, religious and political force in Frank Herbert's science fiction universe of Dune. They are a secretive sisterhood who train their bodies and minds though years of physical and mental conditioning, attaining powers and abilities that can seem almost magical. Due to their secretive nature and misunderstood abilities, outsiders often call them witches.

Trained at the Mother School on Wallach IX, and later headquartered at the hidden world known as Chapterhouse in the two last books (Heretics of Dune and '), the Bene Gesserit are loyal only to themselves. However, to obtain their goals they often make the appearance of being loyal to other groups or individuals.
