Imprinter

Imprinters are Bene Gesserit with extensive training in seduction and sexual technique. An imprinter is capable of inducing heightened sexual ecstasy in their targets. These sexual techniques are then employed on men in positions of power (or future power), or those with specific traits that the Order wishes to incorporate into their breeding program. Men seduced by an imprinter are permanently affected (imprinted) by the intense sexual experience and behave, consciously or subconsciously, favorably to the Sisterhood. An imprinter can be successfully resisted if the subject has been psychologically pre-conditioned to do so, and the subject's automatic defensive response may even be entirely subconscious.
