The ultimate goal of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, up to the end of the novel
Dune, is the creation of a male Bene Gesserit they call the Kwisatz Haderach (
/ˈkwɪsɑːts ˈhɑːdəræk/[10]). They intend to achieve this superbeing through a massive human
breeding program, which they have conducted for countless generations; using careful manipulations of relationships and breeding sisters to "collect" key genes, the Bene Gesserit have controlled and finessed bloodlines through the ages. Also called "the one who can be two places simultaneously" or "the one who can be many places at once," the Kwisatz Haderach (defined by Herbert as "The Shortening of the Way"), with supreme prescience and access to both male and female lines in Other Memory, will be an overt figure in the Bene Gesserit's manipulations, thrust upon the universe as a
messiah.
