Character History

A Clear and Present Danger

Sylar goes to Baltimore, MD and visits Harbor Watch Shop, and is reunited with Martin Gray, the ex-husband of his adoptive mother Virginia Gray. Martin states that he is not the biological father, but rather his brother Samson is. Sylar uses his ability of lie detection to determine that truth, and then goes to Newark to pay a visit to Samson Gray's home. There, he finds on the mantel a childhood picture of himself, a picture of Samson holding a pelt, and Samson sitting on a motorcycle, but does not find Samson at home.

Trust and Blood

Mary and Luke Campbell see police cars parked outside Samson Gray's home and Mary says that she never liked that old man. After Sylar holds them hostage in their own home, Luke tells Sylar that he knows Samson and can help to find him.

Building 26

Sylar and Luke drive west in search of Samson Gray. At one point, Luke asks Sylar if he likes birds as much his father did, and reveals that Samson used to take him out birding. This awakens a childhood memory in Sylar of being taken out in his father's red wagon as a small child. Luke knows that the young Sylar was sold for money, and suggests that Samson confessed this to him because he reminded the old man of his son.
