"When I was 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....I wanted to be important." - Sylar, from season 1

Gabriel Gray's talent lay in understanding the way things worked. A gifted watchmaker, he inherited the profession from his father; he could tell you what parts needed fixing just by listening to them tick and what was broken simply by watching it move. He devoted years of his life to pet projects in his Brooklyn shop.

Yet he'd always considered watchmaking a low, unsatisfying, and meaningless job. He was, after all, meant for something far greater. When Chandra Suresh came to him in April of 2006, Gabriel believed he'd found his chance: unquestionable proof that he could be important.

Days passed, and nothing changed. But Gabriel had a talent for understanding how things worked.

How they were supposed to work.

Months later, the watchmaker's son is still a watchmaker...but in a very different way than anyone could have predicted...

Gabriel Gray is in his late twenties, slender and very tall (6'4"), with brown eyes, unkempt dark hair, and a face that could be attractive if you ignored the unusually thick eyebrows and perpetual stubble. At one point, he dressed like a nerd, complete with sweater vests and the occasional pair of bulky glasses. Nowadays, he's more likely to be seen in a trench coat and black hooded sweatshirt (or the occaissional rock band shirt).

He's also far more likely to introduce himself as "Sylar", unless he prefers to use one of his previous aliases, the names of those who he had killed in the past.

Sylar's abilities from the Heroes show:
-the ability to see and manipulate patterns within complex systems (that makes him an expert in restoring time pieces in watches

-He is able to distinguish any problems, with any given watch, almost instantly. He later uses this ability to locate the source of the power in the brain of his victims, enabling him to steal their abilities.

-Telekinesis; at an advanced level. He can add that onto his strength, and can use fine control to do things such as clean cutting skulls open

-eidetic memory

-the ability to lower the temperature of matter; causing it to freeze

-amplified hearing

-the ability control fire and set off nuclear-like explosions

-the ability to turn into other people; shape-shift

-precognition in the form of painting

WARNING: For those who don't know who this character is, Sylar is not a nice person by any stretch; he's a serial killer, a sociopath, and somebody who takes a perverse delight in pushing other people's buttons. While he will never inflict physical harm without permission and OOC communication/planning, if he senses a psychological weakness in your character, he may attempt to attack it -- especially if they work in law enforcement or possess superhuman abilities themselves.

Sylar/Gabriel Gray is from the NBC TV show, Heroes. I do not own this character. I do not know Zachary Quinto either, for it's he who has the role of this villain. I'm only writing as this character for fun. No profits. Just for fun, so don't sue, okay?

Inspirational lyrics;

"I found no people killing time
So I've found time for killing people
I found no rhythm I would rhyme
So I'm the rhythm for the people

And if you wait on me - I'll be free one day
And if you wait on me - I'll be free one day...

Contemplating genocide
Upstairs waiting, scattered people
Afraid that feeling hasn't died
It gets lonely for my people

And if you wait on me - I'll be free one day
And if you wait on me - I'll be free one day
And if you wait on me - I'll be free one day
And if you wait on me - I'll be free one day...

People always drifting out of pain
They cannot hold onto nothing else
Fingers bleed on the concrete walls
Leaving only one nail for someone to see
Only one nail is screaming to me
So many fingers pointing at me
So many fingers pointing at me
So many fingers pointing at me

I found no people killing time
So I found time for killing people
I found no people killing time
So I found time for killing people,
Killing people,
Killing people,
Killing people,
Killing people..." - Time For People, by Atomship
