Biography

Sir Peter Weyland was a billionaire entrepreneur and inventor, and the founder and CEO of Weyland Corp. In 2089, he agreed to fund a scientific expedition to the moon LV-223 at the request of Drs. Elizabeth Shaw and Charlie Holloway,[5] where it was hoped humanity would make first contact with the race of extraterrestrials that had apparently created them, dubbed the Engineers; the expedition finally departed aboard the USCSS Prometheus four years later.[6] When the team of scientists finally made contact with the Engineers, they found them to be hostile and the expedition failed disastrously. Unbeknownst to the crew of the Prometheus, Weyland secretly stowed away aboard the vessel, planning to make contact with the Engineers himself in the hopes they would be able to extend his life-span. However, he was ultimately killed by the very race he hoped would help him.
