Sylar's victims

As Sylar moves across the country, he is leaving a growing number of victims.

Memorable Quotes

There is no Sylar. Last words of a dying victim, it didn't mean anything.

- FBI Agent

We've pieced a trail across a dozen states. All people impaled by household objects. Bones broken. All without any traceable sign of physical contact. But only some of them involve any mutilation of the head or neck, so they don't see the connections.

- Audrey Hanson

Methods

Sylar's victims have been killed by several methods:

• Freezing them
• Impaling them with objects via Telekinesis

Additionally, some victims are then decapitated, and their brains removed. The purpose for this act is currently unknown.

• Mohinder Suresh discovers that Sylar owns an extensive collection of autopsy books in his apartment. It is implied that Sylar is perfecting his technique.
• Not every victim is killed in this manner, possibly indicating Sylar is targeting evolved humans for brain removal.

Notes

• Audrey Hanson had mistakenly attributed the death of Dr. Robert Fresco to Sylar in Nothing to Hide.

Fan Theories

• Sylar also possesses the power of cryokinetics (the ability to control temperature) and is using it to kill by freezing his victims.
  • If true, then he is the only evolved human that has been shown to have more than one major power.
• Sylar is stealing the brains of evolved humans in order to incorporate their abilities into himself.
