Well I was on about the Emperor from starwars, but I suppose the similarities are there

he's an old gent but ya don't bugger about with him

Oh god yeah this guy, I remember reading about him..
"Dostum was one of the most colorful and capable captains in the Soviet-mujahideen war. Born poor, Dostum went to the Soviet Union for his education, and his political opportunity was the meritocracy of war. He rose to power at the head of the Jowjzan, an Uzbek militia which fights with AK47s on horseback. Dostum is a staunch enemy of Islamic fundamentalism since they prevent the enjoyment of women and whisky. For almost a decade he ruled an independent kingdom in the north with a heavy but capable hand and the support of the Soviets. Dostum had a battlefield genius only matched by Masud and a political adaptability unique amongst Afghan warlords..."
"Sometimes called “the wrestler” because of his burly physique and bombastic style, Dostum crushed a thief under tank treads and frightened a prisoner to death with his ogreish laughter. When his men balked, Green Berets watched as Dostum attacked an anti-aircraft gun alone. At Mazar-e-Sharif he jumped from his horse to the lead Taliban tank and slew the man in the turret"
Thats it, i'm calling this guy "The Beast Rabban" from now on

I love the Harkonnens..they're just so..WONDERFULLY EVIL
Apparently based on the USSR and the Nazi party.
I'm sure Dostum would like a nice western woman painting him
And yeah, you could liken the Soviet intervention in Afganistan to Dune...the Harkonnens fighting the Fremen desert people (who do indeed use a lot of islamic/arabic customs)
