Gaius Helen Mohiam is a fictional character in the Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. She is the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother, who initially featured in the novel Dune by Frank Herbert. She also had a more major role in the Prelude to Dune trilogy by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.
Mohiam trained Lady Jessica in the Bene Gesserit chapterhouse on Wallach. Two decades later, Mohiam tested the young Paul Atreides before his departure for Arrakis with the gom jabbar.
