Peter Weyland was born in Mumbai, India on October 1, 1986, to his mother, an Oxford-educated Professor of Comparative Mythology, and his father, a self-taught engineer. At the age of 14, he was granted a Method Patent for a synthetic trachea constructed entirely of synthetically-engineered stem cells, becoming his twelfth registered patent to date. On October 11, 2012, Peter Weyland founded the eponymous Weyland Corp.

On March 27, 2015, Weyland made his first billion thanks to the renewable energy gathered following the installation of solar panels that align and move in Earth’s orbital plane but at an axial tilt, imitating a perpetual summer solstice. This is the first successfully industrialised space mission of the Weyland Corporation, which receives funding from a trio of major venture capital firms. On February 2, 2016, he effectively ended global warming by generating a localised synthetic atmosphere above the polar ice caps using a precursor to the atmospheric processor of his own invention. Three months later, at the age of 26, Sir Peter Weyland became one of the youngest people ever to achieve a knighthood.

On December 10, 2017, Weyland is honored with the Nobel Prize in Science for his extraordinary atmospheric work over the polar ice caps. Using capital from his 2015 success, Weyland acquires copyrights to technology developed by NASA’s innovative but poorly funded Project Prometheus. On December 19, 2017, and with significantly augmented funding for the project, JIMO became a reality and proves the existence of simple life in Europa’s ocean.

Weyland was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his cancer cure on February 4, 2019. During his TED Talk on February 28, he clarified his vision for the Weyland Corporation, laying the groundwork for the next fifty years of Building Better Worlds. In January 7, 2019, Weyland manufactured the first advanced android prototype model of its kind. He is affectionately called David, a name Weyland had initially reserved for his own human son. At some point, the Japanese start-up Yutani Corporation lawsuit attempted to sue Weyland for the patent of the android. During 2019, Weyland acquired Genentech, significantly bolstering the company’s biotech holding, and privatised NASA’s famous Kepler mission, increases its funding tenfold and, within the year, discovered 6,546 more bio-compatible planets.

After years of litigation, Weyland won the David patent lawsuit against the Yutani Corporation on March 12th, 2019, effectively protecting the investments of both Weyland Corp and its shareholders. Three years later, in 2022, Weyland acquired Northrop Grumman, Boeing, BAE Systems, and Lockheed Martin, significantly bolstering its multinational defense, security, and aerospace technology holdings.
