Notes:
Weyoun is my favorite Vorta. My favorite character in all of the Star Trek series that have ever existed, in fact. He's incredibly unique, hilariously funny, and not to mention, unbelievably adorable. He's like the Dominion's puppy. Whenever the Female Founder walks into the room, he goes right to the door, submissive, completely happy no matter how badly she treats him. And when Weyoun gets in trouble with her, he goes and follows Odo around until Odo has to brush him off. Odo doesn't like pets. In the later seasons there's a cute quote by Damar who says keeping track of Weyoun is a full time job.
He's awesome. Being the most stereotypical Vorta makes him an irresistable villain.
In the episode of "To the Death" Captain Sisko agrees to a private meeting with the Vorta. Trying to establish relations with a potential ally, what Weyoun proposes to Captain Sisko is somewhat intriguing:
"What if I could make you, absolute ruler of the Federation? Not admiral, not Starfleet chief of staff...just....you."
My brother made the comment that by seeing how fast conversation jumped to that, it sounded like Weyoun had rehearsed this proposal. Notice, Gul Dukat became the absolute ruler of Cardassia once he sold into the Dominion.
Something else that I found, and this I thought was fascinating, is the eerie connection between two episodes; "Sacrifice of Angels" and "Statistical Probabilities."
In 'Statistical Probabilities', Doctor Bashir has made friends with a group of genetically engineered individuals with startling insight. During their short stay on the station, they became interested in the fight against the Dominion and began to calculate the probability of the Federation defeating them. In the end, they could come to only one conclusion: The Federation could not beat the Dominion. The only way to save the billions of lives that would be lost, was to surrender. They would lose the war for the time being, but, they predicted that in only a matter of one or two generations, a tiny rebellion would form. That rebellion would begin on Earth, and soon spread across the entire quadrant, and together all would rise and defeat the Dominion for good.
So convinced that their solution was correct, the genetically enginneered patients imprisoned Bashir, and set off to reveal Federation tactical information to the Dominion, making the takeover swift and easy. Unfortunately, by getting help from one of the patients whom the others had left alone with Bashir, he was able to escape, and prevented them from doing this. They thought they were sure they had safely confined Bashir, but he argued that one person was able to throw off their entire set of calculations...
"Sacrifice of Angels", when the station had been under Dominion occupation. There is an interesting scene where Dukat and Weyoun are discussing plans for the future of the quadrant. Bashir's genetically engineered comrades thought that surrendering to the Dominion would be less bloody, and ultimately result in defeating the Dominion in the long run. However, it would be one individual, who did indeed, throw off their entire set of calculations.
Many months before, standing there with Gul Dukat in the Captain's room, Weyoun speculated the constant vigilance that would be required in order to keep the quadrant under control. That if a rebellion were ever to begin, it would begin on the terran homeworld.
None of them, had any idea, that it was Weyoun who would be given control of Earth...
Weyoun then made it known to Dukat, that he would have had the population exterminated.
