Mohiam trained Lady Jessica in the Bene Gesserit chapterhouse on Wallach IX. Two decades later, Mohiam tested the young Paul Atreides before his departure for Arrakis with the gom jabbar.

The prequel novels by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson that began with Dune: House Atreides and Dune: House Harkonnen reveal that Mohiam was secretly the mother of Jessica and grandmother of Paul, in contradiction to Children of Dune, which states Jessica's mother as Tanidia Nerus (it is stated in the Prelude to Dune novels that this name was an alias used by the Reverend Mother for work outside of the Bene Gessserit Sisterhood. It is probably the name in the "open" records. If you remember, the Bene Gesserit usually hid the true identity of the parents). This occurred as a result of a vicious rape by the Baron Harkonnen. Many hold the information in these prequels to be apocryphal, although the writers Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson may have been working from notes by Frank Herbert himself on events concerning Mohiam. Even the 1986 Dune Encyclopedia (which is also not considered canon), hints that Mohiam was Jessica's mother. Dune itself hints this (after Alia contacts Mohiam in a way that is not telepathy, but something between her ancestors and the preborn.)
