Gray, Gabriel

Gabriel “Sylar” Gray



I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice
when I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh

I'D STAY THE HAND OF GOD
BUT THE WAR IS ON YOUR LIPS

OVERALL PERSONALITY:
Gabriel Gray was once a sweet watch-fixer who never harmed a fly. Originally, he remained somewhat geeky on the outside, intent that his fate was nothing more than being a watch-maker, because of his father’s profession. Initially, he was well-intentioned. He wanted to improve his life, and make a difference—matter to someone. He wanted to be appreciated, and loved. Through the process, he becomes a little crazy, and loses himself to the ‘hunger’ of his power, wanting to know things.

He is constantly walking the line of ambiguity when it comes to being good or evil. At first, he hated taking lives, then it became a passion. In attempt to reform, he failed yet again when reminded of the ambiguity of his past. Taking on the name ‘Sylar’, Gabriel feels he is doomed to a fate of killing and slaughter.

Sylar is power-hungry, desensitized villain who wants nothing more than ‘to be special’, no matter what the cost. He steadily grows unaware of the consequences actions, or rather, he does not care. He feels he is both above the law, and invicible, though he is basically a glorified serial killer. He's also very emotionally unstable, and prone to cracking under the pressure of anger. One of his major downfalls is his pride. He feels like he is an unstoppable force, which in turn, makes him more vulnerable. He also doesn't like to be called by his real name, Gabriel Gray. He enjoys the creative artistic use of his mother's blood to paint paintings......

LOVE ME IN THIS FABLE
MY HEART IS IN YOUR HANDS

PARENTS: Adoptive parents, Martin and Virginia Gray (ages unknown); Martin is a watch-maker, and Virginia collected snowglobes, but she’s dead
Biological father, Samson Gray; We really don’t know anything about him, except that he likes hunting, by the looks of his interior decorating
SIBLINGS: none—Sylar was never related to the Petrellis, though he thought he was
OTHER FAMILY: not that we know of
OVERALL HISTORY:
"When I was a kid I used to wish some stranger would come and tell me my family wasn't really my family. They weren't bad people they were just ...insignificant and I wanted to be different, special. I wanted to change a new name, a new life."

Sylar’s history remains ambiguous. He was adopted by his aunt and uncle into their failing marriage. His father left him when he was a boy, going out to get cigarettes and never coming back. Gabriel grew up with abandonment issues, feeling doomed to be a watch-maker, though his adoptive mother pushed him to be ‘special’.

Also known as 'Patient Zero', he is the first patient of Dr. Suresh's studies. Becoming more and more obsessed with being 'special', he finally cracks under the pressure, assuming the name of Sylar, and goes on to kill people in order to take their powers. Later he contracted the Shanti virus, losing his powers, and having to get the cure from Mohinder Suresh. This caused him to start over in his pursuit of powers.

After he was captured, Sylar was made to reform into an agent for the company, however this failed. Sylar naturally dislikes being controlled by other people and comes to the realization, via Elle, that he can be his own person. He tends to relapse at the mention of his parents by HRG. After reverting back to his old ways, he kills Elle, then goes on to catch all of his enemies, encaging them and hunting them, only to be killed by Clair Bennet. In the volume ‘Fugitives’, he is found still alive.

Also in the series, he was told he was the son of Angela Petrelli, however, she initially lied in order to manipulate him. Another note: When Peter traveled to the future, he found Sylar living as a good person, with his son “Noah”. He claimed to be reformed.
