Biography/History: Sylar was born to a watchmaker in 1984 to his father Sampson Gray, who taught him his trade. He was born with his power's, and the hunger from said power's corrupt him, turning him into a chaotic person, always trying to attain new abilities. Before Sylar understood his power's, he was a watchmaker, like his father. He always knew what was wrong with any watch that he was tasked with fixing without even opening it. He knew what made everything “tick”.

Confused about his power, Sylar seeks out Mohinder Suresh, asking to be tested for his abilities. After being rejected by Suresh because the test results are indeterminate, Gray contacts another person on Suresh's list, Davis. Gray discovers that he himself has the power of intuitive aptitude, and murders Davis for his telekinetic powers. He then return's to Suresh, becoming “Patient Zero” Until Mohinder realizes that Sylar is murdering the people that they meet.

Intensely remorseful over the people he murdered, Gabriel attempt's to hang himself, hoping to end his life. But Elle Bishop walks into the room, see's what he is trying to do, and saves him by using her electric abilities to cut the rope, convincing him that he's a good person. Gabriel and Elle become friend's and the two begin to share feelings for each other. Soon after, it is revealed that Elle has powers. Furious, Gabriel pushes her against the wall with his mind, commanding her to leave.

After Gabriel take's Ted Spraugue's ability to control radiation, he is stabbed through the heart by Hiro Nakamura. Near death, Gabriel crawl's into a manhole and escapes. After several surgeries, Gabriel recovers, but he is unable to use attain other abilities.

Gabriel makes his way to Mohinder Suresh again, intent on regaining his power's, holding him hostage with a gun. After finding the cure, he injects himself, healing his wounds and regaining his hunger for power, as well as telekinesis.

Intent on finding his real father, Gabriel recruit's Luke Campbell for help, and the two search for his father. As Sylar and Luke proceed to find Samson, Luke wishes to stop at some local diner to eat, as well as lying to Sylar about Samson's location when prodded. This irritates Sylar to the point where he threatens to simply take Luke's emission ability. Luke simply states that Sylar would never find his father then. Choosing to stop at a diner, Luke reveals that he and Samson went birding, awakening a memory from Sylar's childhood.

As they eat, Sylar teaches Luke some lessons about using his power and having objectives, as well as revealing the change in his 'hunger' (emphasizing finding Samson over acquiring powers). This results in Luke giving Sylar Samson's location, even under the threat of being killed for his power. They are soon interrupted by Nathan's agents. Luke distracts the agents enough for Sylar to telekinetically toss a few around and punch a hole through a window. However, as he gets into the car, Sylar locks Luke out and drives off, leaving Luke to the agents. However, a short time later, Sylar disguises as an agent and gets into their van, killing the agents and saving Luke, as well as taking a laptop. When confronted about this by Luke, Sylar states that Luke was simply conveniently nearby and that his goal was the laptop to understand how Nathan's agents worked, though Luke seems skeptical about that reasoning.

Continuing to elude Nathan's agents, Sylar and Luke finally lose them. Irritated with Luke's wish to fry some agents and subtle attempts to stop the search for Samson, Sylar pins Luke to the side of the truck, essentially telling Luke to shut up. Sylar then seems to remember the area in which the two are in, and they reach an abandoned diner. Sylar makes an entrance by pulling off some of the board (throwing them in Luke's direction) and they enter. Here, Sylar recounts being brought to the diner as a child, and dropping a toy car in a wooden post. To prove this memory true, he rips open the post telekinetically and finds the car. He then remembers exactly what happened at that place: His father took money from Virginia and Martin, then left to his car. Sylar followed, only to see his biological parents arguing, and Samson telekinetically splitting his mother's skull open, killing her. In a rage exacerbated by Luke's revelation that Sylar's father was indeed a bad individual, Sylar pins him to the diner wall, but drops him and tells Luke to go home. Sylar leaves, intent on not only finding, but killing his father.

Arriving at a run-down trailer in the woods, Sylar finds his father old and dying of cancer. Samson is not frightened by Sylar's threat to kill and instead prepares a rabbit for vivisection. Demonstrating several abilities, he and Sylar realize that they have the same ability - the ability to steal powers. Samson reveals that it did not matter how many people he killed or how many powers he stole; in the end, he did not lead a fulfilling life and is now miserable. He claims to not even remember selling Sylar and killing his mother, as these things did not matter to him. He goes on to say how he would have lived life differently, if given a second chance - how he would risk everything to attain true power and ultimately change the world. He touches on Sylar's original guilt for murdering to steal abilities by mocking Sylar, telling him how both their victims were weak and helpless and that they had no chance against seasoned killers.

However, when Sylar cuts himself and heals while stuffing the rabbit, Samson transforms, reviving his hunger for abilities, desperate to gain immortality and escape from death. Temporarily incapacitating Sylar, he is stunned when Sylar first resists and then retaliates, strangling Samson with his own oxygen tube. Samson does not understand, since both he and Sylar know that Sylar would not die from Samson's "examination". Sylar states that he is finishing what he came to do, taking the stuffed rabbit. Samson begs Sylar to kill him quickly, but Sylar refuses, relishing the fact that his father, who is ultimately just like him, will "die alone with his disease".

Personality; Sylar was raised as the son of a watchmaker, but always felt that he was special and deserved more in life. This and the "evolutionary imperative" to acquire new abilities are what drive him to kill the victims with powers. Taking the name "Sylar" from a watch brand, he has shed all connections to his former life as Gabriel Gray to the point where he angrily lashes out at anyone who calls him Gabriel.

He is a maniacle man, twisted and tormented by his constant hunger for abilities, always looking for the next one he can take. He has given up being remorseful, accepting himself for the killer he really is.
