Template:Character

Karl Bishop Weyland is a male synthetic character who was a descendant of Charles Bishop Weyland and was a member of the Weyland-Yutani corporation.

He was privy to many secrets of his predecessor and was aware of the existence to two alien species; the feral Xenomorphs and a race of technologically advanced Hunters. As such, this led him to learn the secrets relating to both species. This led to a campaign of colonization on the planet known as Freyas Prospect where an Alien temple was discovered. Inside, was a Xenomorph Queen and Weyland established a research facility to harness the power of the creatures offspring. He later had a number of captive colonists forcibly implanted with Facehuggers that led to the formation of Chestbursters. One of the creatures, however, defied known practices by emerging from the mouth of its host and thus nearly escaped containment. When the scientist Dr. Groves attempted to terminate the beast, Karl Bishop Weyland stopped him as he felt that it would be one of his prized creations. The creature was later branded and known as Specimen 6. After refusing to aid Katya in removing the Alien gestating inside Tequila, one of Tequila's squad-mates tracks down Weyland to recover a datapad that has the capability of sending an evacuation signal to his private shuttle.

Rookie confronting Wayland

Weyland confronting the Rookie.

It is revealed during the ensuing battle between the marine "Rookie" and Weyland that he is, in fact, an android. This is confirmed when, after apparently succumbing to the marine's onslaught, Weyland attacks again, forcing the marine to shoot him in the head, exposing a portion of his central processor and causing him to fall on the temple's lava.

An unknown man (possibly Michael Bishop) can be heard saying, "This was a high cost operation. Let us hope my predecessors' faith in it were justified." after Karl was destroyed.

Trivia

  • He maybe the main antagonist of the game. This is proven through his motives (see above).
  • In one of his audio diaries, he makes reference to Charles Bishop Weyland, stating "A dying billionare travels to a frozen wasteland, he knows his chances are slim, but he knows what he finds their could change the face of history, my ancestor, Charles Bishop Weyland".
