Name: Gabriel Gray “Sylar”
Age: Unknown
Power(if applicable):
When Sylar first meets Chandra Suresh six months prior to the series' starting point, he describes having intuitive aptitude, the ability of knowing how things work by looking at them. This ability to see and manipulate patterns within complex systems made him an expert at restoring time pieces. He was able to discern any problems, with any given watch, almost instantly. Upon meeting Brian Davis and learning of his telekinetic abilities, Sylar promised to "fix" what Davis perceived as a problem and killed him, taking his telekinetic powers for himself. Sylar also gains Eidetic memory, Molecular manipulation, Enhanced hearing, Precognition making him able to paint the future, Radiation manipulation and freezing powers by murdering them.
Personality: Sylar's desire to be special and important drives him to kill the victims with powers. He has shed all connections to his previous life as Gabriel Gray and prefers to be called Sylar. Mr. Bennet believes the radical changes to his DNA may have driven the already unstable Gray insane. Sylar's back story is partially explored during a visit with his mother. Several times during the visit, Sylar comments to his mother that he would be content simply fixing watches and wishes that his mother would not push him to be 'special'; that she see him as just 'normal'. The implication is that his desire to be special was instilled by her.
History: Gabriel Gray is a second-generation watchmaker from Queens, New York who always hoped to be "special" but was disappointed to have followed his father into watchmaking. He has always lived an uneventful life up to and including the point where he began restoring time pieces himself at the family business, Gray & Sons. His mother has an interest in snow globes from across the country. When he is approached by Chandra Suresh and told that he might have special powers, Gabriel is quite hopeful that his theories are correct; however, none of Chandra's tests indicate that Gabriel has any sort of abnormal properties whatsoever. Growing doubtful, Chandra decides to move on to the next person on his list, which angers the distraught Gabriel. In an attempt to validate his hopes and prove that he is special, Gabriel uses information from Chandra's notes to find the name and address of Brian Davis, another possible subject on Chandra's list. He contacts Davis, asking him to visit his store and introduces himself as "Sylar", a pseudonym derived from the brand of watch that he is working on at the time. Gabriel then identifies Davis as a telekinetic.
Gabriel states that Davis is "broken". Unlike Gabriel, who desperately wants to be special, Davis fears his power, asking if Gabriel could get rid of it. Claiming that he could "fix" Davis, Gabriel brutally murders him, acknowledging a previous statement by Chandra that the source of the abilities "is in the brain." He returns to Chandra's apartment the next day, this time demonstrating telekinetic abilities with greater control than Davis. Thoroughly impressed, Chandra continues on with his research with "Sylar". Sylar, being Chandra's first recorded study, is dubbed "Patient Zero", though sometime over the course of six months the study is terminated, as the two have a falling out. In a taped phone conversation discovered by Chandra's son Mohinder, Sylar states that Chandra "made him this way," and refers to a mysterious "uncontrollable hunger" that he now experiences. Chandra wants nothing to do with Sylar at this point.
Eventually, Sylar becomes a serial killer, using Chandra's list to track down victims across the United States. This leads FBI agent Audrey Hanson to become obsessed with capturing him. Three months after taking on his serial killer persona, Sylar leads Hanson on a chase through the streets of Chicago, following another one of his murders. Hanson chases him into the subways. He gives his cap and trench coat to an innocent elderly man, which causes the agent to mistake the man for Sylar. After shooting the man, she realizes her mistake, and the unbearable guilt from her error intensifies her drive to hunt him down. Agent Hanson investigates a double homicide where a married couple with a child were murdered. The woman was pinned horizontally to the staircase and the male, James Walker, was frozen solid in mid-pose with his brain removed. Telepathic police officer Matt Parkman finds their unharmed daughter, Molly, hiding in the house, and learns the name "Sylar" from Hanson. The two begin working together to catch their suspect.
Sylar infiltrates the FBI's Los Angeles office and attempts to kidnap the murdered couple's daughter, Molly. Parkman and Hanson stop him and give chase. When Audrey pulls her gun, Sylar uses his powers to force her back against a wall and make her point her weapon to her own head. Matt arrives and shoots at Sylar, but when Matt checks on Audrey, Sylar stands up and the bullets which supposedly hit him fall to the ground. As the two law-enforcement officers look back, Sylar disappears upward. Sylar enters a diner where Hiro Nakamura and Ando Masahashi are being served by a young waitress named Charlie Andrews. Charlie demonstrates superhuman memory skills while talking to Hiro and Ando. Sylar, who is sitting at a nearby table, follows her to the diner's storeroom, murders her, and takes her brain. A stylized image of Sylar is found on a painting in Isaac Mendez's apartment. When Peter Petrelli finishes the painting, the man is standing over the mutilated body of a cheerleader. After his stop at the diner, Sylar travels to Claire Bennet's high school to murder the one he believes to be a superhealing cheerleader. In the school's gym, Sylar attacks Claire and her classmate Jackie Wilcox, but concentrates his attack on Jackie, apparently due to a news article which reported that Jackie had saved a man from a fire. Sylar hurls Claire, with crushing force, against a nearby wall. As Sylar brutally attacks Jackie, Claire heals from the attack and sees Sylar cut open Jackie's skull with no physical contact. When Sylar realizes he has the wrong girl, he turns to pursue Claire. As she makes her escape, Sylar uses his powers to attack Peter, who runs into Claire in the hallway, by telekinetically hurling locker doors at him. His pursuit ends on top of the school, where he and Peter struggle, causing both of them to fall off. Sylar escapes alive, but is later apprehended by Eden McCain and the Haitian. Eden uses her persuasive abilities to cause Sylar to involuntarily fall asleep, while the Haitian uses his "dampening" ability to render Sylar powerless.
Sylar is soon confined in a small cell which supposedly prevents him from using his powers. During his imprisonment, Sylar becomes infuriated when Mr. Bennet repeatedly refers to him as Gabriel, insisting that his name is really Sylar after repeated uses of his former name. Mr. Bennet informs him that he'll be taken apart and studied, comparing the act to the watches Sylar once repaired. Before this can happen, however, Eden visits Sylar and attempts to use her powers to force him to him commit suicide with a gun she brought along. However, before she can give him the gun, he telekinetically slams her into the glass wall of his cell. While he informs her that her power will help him immensely, she points the gun to her own head and fires, killing herself and preventing Sylar from acquiring her power. Bennet and the Haitian then rush into the cell and subdue him with a tranquilizer gun. Sylar is seen lying helpless on the floor of his cell after being injected with powerful drugs used to help make special abilities manifest. The doctor in charge of him, Hank, states that Sylar has been tested to the brink of death, saying Sylar had been given enough drugs to kill an elephant, and still fails to display any power besides telekinesis. The tests on Sylar seem to be fatal, as he dies despite Hank's best efforts. Nevertheless, after Hank reports this to Bennet and removes his restraints, Sylar revives (possibly having faked his condition) and murders Hank. When Bennet arrives to check on Sylar, he finds Hank's body in Sylar's place and Sylar standing calmly behind him. Sylar quickly escapes and is back on the road once more.

Roleplay sample: Night fell as movement could be herd but it was a faint sound a man ran across the streets his face was covered by the hood of his jacket and a cap that was lowered as he passed a street light blood was seen dripping from his hand in which meant he was the likely suspect of murder the man in question was Sylar hunting down and killing people with special abilities because he himself wanted to be special he wanted to change the world. Sylar called it evolution or one’s destiny his destiny in fact. Sylar stepped through the puddle on the footpath as he herd the police entering the house though Sylar was nowhere to be found he was a few blocks away but needed to be much more away before he could relax jumping over a fence he ducked into a small alleyway and hid there though he didn’t fall asleep he just kept watch till it was all clear to move on once more Sylar moved his eyes down the piece of paper in which had the names of these special people in which he would soon fix them.
