Gabriel was born to two unknown parents, but was raised by a watchmaker and Virginia Gray. He always dreamed of bigger things, of being "special". Adopting the name "Sylar," he becomes a serial murderer, targeting evolved humans with abilities, but doesn't discriminate against killing anybody who stands in his way. Having the power of intuitive aptitude, Sylar is able to see how things work and use that to take the special powers of others after killing them. The FBI has categorized Sylar as a suspected serial killer. His suspected victims are sometimes seen with their heads sliced open horizontally at the center of their skull and their brain removed. Other victims are pinned to walls, frozen, or beaten. Sylar is hunted by the FBI, but has successfully eluded and taunted them, growing stronger and more powerful with each victim. Sylar's activities have since been noticed by the Company, who have made him their most wanted until twelve villains were released from level 5 accidentally by Elle. Since, he's supposedly been trying to change from being a serial killer to doing good, his motives however remain unknown. He was Noah's partner in the Company for a short while, was on Arthur Petrelli's side for a while as well, until he learned that he was not his father.
Explanation of Power:
Intuitive aptitude is the ability to understand the structure and operation of complex systems without special education or training. However, it also compels the holder to understand as much as they can, resulting in a "hunger" which can manifest a need to acquire more abilities. To acquire another ability, Sylar must physically study the victim's brain, who dies shortly after he begins from blood loss and trauma.
Acquired Powers:
Telekenisis
Rapid Cellular Regeneration
Alchemy (turning things to gold)
Clairsentience (can percieve the history of an item by touching it)
Sound Manipulation
Electrical Manipulation
Lie Detection
Primatech's file on Sylar:
Gray is the son of a watchmaker who carried on his father's trade for several years before being approached for study by Dr. Chandra Suresh, who termed Gray his "patient zero." Under Dr. Suresh's inadvertent tutelage, Gray realized he had more than one anomalistic ability; in fact, he came to understand that he could absorb the abilities of others. The specific mechanism of acquiring these powers remain unclear, but we understand that it requires the removal of the victim's brain matter. While under Company protection, study into this mechanism began, but Gray escaped before our scientists could determine Gray's precise manner of acquiring abilities from his victims' brain matter.
With the incorporation of new abilities into his genetic structure, Gray assumed the name Sylar and began killing individuals on Chandra Suresh's list of "specials."
We captured Gray after the Union Wells High School incident. FBI Agent Audrey Hanson and Matt Parkman's investigation led them to an unsuccessful raid on Primatech Paper while Sylar was in our custody. Under observation, Sylar proved uncooperative and an incident with Eden McCain/Sarah Ellis led to her death. Despite our best efforts, Sylar escaped from our custody before our study was completed. Gray's current location is unknown and death should not be presumed.
Primatech's Psychological file on Sylar:
Gabiel Gray's overbearing mother pressed on him the notion that he was "special" and meant for more than his family's middle-class existence. When he failed to live up to expectations, he fell into the family trade as a watchmaker and grew increasingly frustrated with his life.
When he began manifesting abilities, he realized he could use them to fulfill his deep-seated desire to be "special" and thus prove his worth to his demanding mother. However, infusion of foreign DNA into Sylar's genome has corrupted his mind and moral compass. He began seeing himself as vastly superior to average people, which gave him—in his mind—the moral authority to kill at will. He became sociopath and singularly focused on gaining more abilities. If still alive with his powers intact, his desire to be increasingly "special" will surely compel him to seek out additional victims. Extreme caution must be exercised if encountering Sylar.
Sylar and his "father hunt":
Sylar has recently become interested in finding his father, meeting a boy named Luke Campbell who has the power of microwave emmision. Luke said he knew where to find him, trying to reveal the minimal amount of information he can. This withholding of information makes Sylar almost snap several times, then Luke would tell Sylar some story about Sylar's dad, Sylar knowing they must be true because he can tell when Luke is lying. On the road, Sylar suddenly stops the car outside a closed diner, remembering his last encounter with his father. The familiarity of the diner brings back several memories with his dad, including the last time he ever saw of him, when his dad had literally sold him to his brother, left Sylar there with his brother, and when Sylar ran outside after his dad, he sees his dad and mom arguing in the car, followed by his father telekineticly slicing half of his mothers head off and driving away. After his flashback, Luke tried to tell him that he had no idea about Sylar's mother and tried to tell him that his father was a big jerk, Sylar becomes very angry with luke and throws Luke against the wall, claiming that Luke's stories had been misleading. He then lets Luke go, telling him that he is going to find his father, alone, and wants him to die.
