Yeah, Sting was one of the Harkonnen family's mentats. The Baron's son was Rabban, the younger but also fat red-haired guy who ate the raw tongue and was nicknamed "The Beast Rabban" in the book. In the movie, the Emperor Corrino had Rabban beheaded and then brought Baron Harkonnen in and showed him his son's head on the floor...I can't remember if that scene was in the book or not.

Gri"Sting? Harkonnen's son? He's too thin and handsome!"shny
