Lore question: do you think Weyoun 1 was the first Weyoun clone, or was Weyoun 1 the original individual and Weyoun 2 was the first clone?

    The OG, if he ever truly existed and wasn't just a fully fabricated, genetically engineered being from one of the dominion species, would absolutely go by Weyoun Prime, or just simply "Weyoun"

    So Weyoun 1 is the first "clone", if not the first created being in the Weyoun line.

    I don’t think it was either that he was a person who was then cloned or that he was fabricated. I think it was a mixture of both.

    Wayoun 6 tells Odo that the Vorta were an an ape-like species that the Founders genetically engineered into what they are today. So Wayoun 1 was very likely the original.

    I don't remember that particular bit, but it sounds familiar. Ds9 is weirdly my least re-watched series, despite being 2nd on my list of treks. Probably because I usually show people Voyager before Ds9 since Ds9 is decidedly darker than the other shows. I always start with TNG, so that one obviously takes top slot.

    So the Founders uplifted a lower species and genetically modified them, Wayoun 1 was definitely the original.

    that's how he made it sound, but who knows what really happened. I could have been more complicated than that.
