Background
Weiss is an extremely intelligent scientist with a heavy German accent. He has resided on Pandora since the days of The Destroyer, working for General Knoxx and the Atlas corporation. He worked behind the scenes to help create a lot of the tech that made Atlas the most powerful armament manufacturer on Pandora, and also was one of the originators for the design of the Devastator suits. After General Knoxx&apos;s defeat at the hands of the Vault Hunters, Atlas was broken down and losing power, but Weiss, along with many other scientists, stayed with the company in an attempt to build it up. It wasn&apos;t until the opening of the vault, and the slaying of The Destroyer that Weiss&apos;s life turned completely around. Hyperion took over, and Atlas was finally gone for good, everything Weiss had created, everything he worked so hard for was taken by the tyrant Mr. Blake, under the order of Handsome Jack.

Leaving the now defunct company, Weiss set out to create something unheard of. After the discovery of E-Tech, he finally learned his true calling, and aspired to create his own manufacturing plant, Weisstech, which would consist of armaments and shields based soley on powerful Eridium. He created many new and unheard of items, but was shut down before his company could even get off the ground, due to legal issues involving the use of E-Tech, a cover-up to take the minds off of Handsome Jack&apos;s controversial Slag experimentations. Weiss was stricken, and had no idea where to go from here, that is until he heard a broadcast from Handsome Jack, stating he would open another vault and save the planet. Weiss knew what he wanted to do now, and he took an experimental suit he was working on, the only thing he could salvage from his company that was ripped apart by Hyperion, and headed back to Pandora, in an attempt to open the vault before Jack, and secure the wonderful technology inside for himself.
