As one of the Dominion's
Vorta, Weyoun was the very essence of his cloned species,
the trusted administrators bred by the Founders to handle
day-to-day affairs and oversee the Jem'Hadar military.
Weyoun was cloned a total of eight times.
Weyoun 4 was the Vorta field supervisor in 2372 during a
joint Federation/Dominion mission in the Gamma Quadrant to
destroy a powerful Iconian "gateway" in the possession of
renegade Jem'Hadar soldiers. After the mission succeeded,
Weyoun 4 was killed by his own Jem'Hadar First for
questioning his troops' loyalty.
Weyoun 5 rose to a more significant position in the
Dominion, that of chief liaison to the Cardassian government
and field supervisor for all Alpha Quadrant operations. This
clone was instrumental in the Dominion's military posturing
in the Alpha Quadrant, and was a very close aide to the
so-called "Female Shapeshifter" who primarily called the
shots. He visited Deep Space 9 on several occasions starting
in 2373, and even used it as his base of operations during
the Dominion/Cardassian occupation of the station in
2373-2374. After evacuating DS9, Weyoun 5 oversaw the
transition of Cardassian leadership from Gul Dukat to Legate
Damar. The fifth Weyoun lived less than two years, dying in
2375 in a transporter "accident." (Foul play was suspected,
but a thorough investigation found no evidence.)
A month after being activated, Weyoun 6 defected from the
Dominion in a crisis of conscience over the war. He put his
fate into the hands of Odo, who attempted to bring him to
Deep Space 9 while under pursuit by Jem'Hadar forces. In
order to ensure Odo's safety, though, Weyoun 6 terminated
himself by triggering an implant in his brain (one that all
Vorta have).
 Although normally a new clone is activated only upon the
death of the old one, Weyoun 7 was created when his
"defective" predecessor fled, and guided the effort to hunt
him down. The seventh incarnation served in Weyoun's normal
capacity for several months, until he provoked Worf into
snapping his neck.
Weyoun 8 was quickly put into service with hardly any
interruption of routine. This Vorta faced the betrayal of
Damar and the rise of his Cardassian resistance force. In
fact, Damar's first act of subversion was to destroy the
cloning facilities on Rondac 3, ensuring that number 8 would
be the last Weyoun. Weyoun 8 served the Female Shapeshifter
faithfully — even fulfilling the uncomfortable command to
order the extinction of the Cardassian race — until he died
at the hands of a Cardassian, Garak, when resistance forces
infiltrated Dominion headquarters.
