When I wrote this, I was unaware of the story written by Dr. Willis E. McNelly for the Dune Encyclopedia.
Irvin Villo Holtzmann (whoes calling name is Tio) was born on September 25 in the year 8607 A.D., also known as the year 7593 B.G. (Before Guild), or the year 2042 of Liesco II, the planet on which he was born.
On March 3 in the year 8635 A.D. (7565 B.G.) at age 27, he got an accident. He stayed unconcious for 10 days in the Intensive Care. Under the pressure of his father he was cyborged. Revalidation took more than 6 months.
On Februari 7 in the year 8638 A.D. (7562 B.G.) at age 30, he held his famous lecture during which he revealed the "wave-effect" nature of the suspensor-nullification device.
On October 22, 8644 A.D. (7556 B.G.) at age 39 he was thrown into
a cometary orbit of 1861.87 years.
The Dune encyclopedia is wrong about the fact that he
was severely damaged. It was because of sabotage that he was thrown
into a cometary orbit. The main engines of the space craft
carrying him fired for probably more than 20 hours, until the
fuel tanks were emptied completely. The 3 other people present on
the space craft, died during this event.
On Januariy 2, 9154 A.D. he discovered the Net, and it's abilities
to perform tele vision.
On April 17, 9201 A.D. he constructs a device to travel back in
time through the net. It is in the years after, that he discovers
that both life changing accidents were attempt to kill him.
Around November 1, 9202 A.D. he discovers the posibility to
travel in the future. It is now that he starts his almost
7000 year time of constructing the maps of the future.
Around September 12, 10506 A.D. (5694 B.G.) he at the age of 1901
years passed by Liesco II
during the wars of reunification. He did make contact with
a number of people, but records of these private communications
were lost, because no one believed the people he communicated with.
But these communications did cause the death of the descendents
of those who caused his accidents.
Around September 31 of the same year he for the first time sees
the end of the human race by machines. In the following days, he finds
the Golden Path and begins his work to establish it.
Around August 3, 12368 A.D. (3832 B.G.) he, at the age of 3762
years, reappeared at Liesco,
and presents the theory for the construction of the defensive shield.
Around June 23, 14230 A.D. (1970 B.G.), at the age of 5625
years, he reappears again, and presents his unified theory.
And he makes those private communications which will eventually
led to the Butlerian Jihad, and thus cause his death in the year
16092. But because he cannot change his future anymore, and
because he will be destroyed before he can transmit any message
to anyone before he is destroyed, his
view of the future becomes almost fixed, enabeling him to
see the distant future, even past the time of the
last Duncan and
Sheeana.
On April 10, 16092 A.D. (108 B.G.) at the age of 7486 years old,
Holtzmann is destroyed by the forces of the Butlerian Jihad.
He dies the most lonely death possible, as the human that
probably lived the longest, and knew the most, but never was
able to share his knowledge with anyone.
