- ErasmusErasmus was an independent and eccentric robot who served the evermind Omnius while pursuing his own study of humanity. His murder of Serena Butler's infant son helped ignite the Butlerian Jihad, and millennia later his manipulations shaped the final battle of Kralizec.
- Omnius: the evermind that ruled machinesOne artificial mind copied across many worlds and synchronised so that every instance shared the same experience. Omnius was the enemy of the Jihad.
- SeuratSeurat was an independent thinking machine who captained the Omnius update ship Dream Voyager. Across the long years of the Butlerian Jihad he was the unlikely friend of Vorian Atreides, a friendship that ended only when their loyalties forced them to fire on one another at the Battle of Corrin.
- SynchronySynchrony was the distant capital world of the reborn Thinking Machine empire, raised by the evermind Omnius and his counterpart Erasmus far from human space. It became the stage for the final reckoning of Kralizec, where Omnius was banished and the long war between man and machine reached its end.
