'''Gabriel Gray''' a.k.a. '''Sylar''' (which he adopted from the name [[Sylar's watch|on his watch]]) is an ordinary timepiece restorer who thirsted for the chance to become special. [[Chandra Suresh]] came to him, identified him as "[[Patient Zero]]" in his [[research]] and revealed the existence of [[evolved humans]] to him. Discovering how abilities worked and how to gain more, Sylar became a [[Sylar's victims|serial killer]], targeting other evolved humans to [[Brain removal|steal their brains]] to get their [[ability|abilities]]. Although Sylar began on the path of redemption after [[Angela Petrelli]] made the claim that she was his biological mother, he succumbed to "[[Intuitive aptitude|the hunger]]" once again and returned to his old ways once he found out that she was lying. |

'''Peter Petrelli''' was an [[evolved human]] from an [[Timeline:Possible Futures|alternate future]]. |
|||
==About== |
|||
Gabriel was born to two unknown parents, but was raised by a watchmaker and [[Virginia Gray]]. He always dreamed of bigger things, of being "special". Adopting the name "[[Sylar's watch|Sylar]]," he becomes a serial murderer, targeting [[evolved humans]] with [[abilities]], but doesn't discriminate against killing anybody who stands in his way. Having the power of [[intuitive aptitude]], Sylar is able to see how things work and use that to [[power theft|take]] the special powers of others after killing them. The [[FBI]] has categorized Sylar as a suspected serial killer. His [[Sylar's victims|suspected victims]] are sometimes seen with their heads sliced open horizontally at the center of their skull and their [[Brain Removal|brain removed]]. Other victims are [[telekinesis|pinned]] to walls, [[freezing|frozen]], or beaten. Sylar is hunted by the FBI, but has successfully eluded and taunted them, growing stronger and more powerful with each victim. Sylar's activities have since been noticed by [[the Company]], who have made him their most wanted until twelve villains were released from [[level 5]] accidentally by [[Elle]]. Since, he's supposedly been trying to change from being a serial killer to doing good, his motives however remain unknown. He was Noah's partner in the Company for a short while, was on [[Arthur Petrelli]]'s side for a while as well, until he learned that he was not his father. |

Gabriel was born to two unknown parents, but was raised by a watchmaker and Virginia Gray. He always dreamed of bigger things, of being "special". Adopting the name "Sylar," he becomes a serial murderer, targeting evolved humans with abilities, but doesn't discriminate against killing anybody who stands in his way. Having the power of intuitive aptitude, Sylar is able to see how things work and use that to take the special powers of others after killing them. The FBI has categorized Sylar as a suspected serial killer. His suspected victims are sometimes seen with their heads sliced open horizontally at the center of their skull and their brain removed.

Sylar's activities have since been noticed by the Company, who have made him their most wanted until twelve villains were released from level 5 accidentally by Elle. Since, he's supposedly been trying to change from being a serial killer to doing good, his motives however remain unknown. He was Noah's partner in the Company for a short while, was on Arthur Petrelli's side for a while as well, until he learned that he was not his father.

Season Two
For an episode-by-episode summary, see FuturePeter: Season Two History.
Sylar awakens on a beach with a redhead, who explains that she dragged him away from Kirby Plaza and that the people that she works for fixed his wounds. Sylar tries to use his powers, but finds himself unable to. Sylar kills her and attempts to take her power, but cannot use it. He then leaves the building for the first time and discovers that he is in the middle of a Mexican jungle. He is eventually found in the middle of the road by Derek, Maya, and Alejandro. They give him a ride, and he tells Maya and Alejandro that he knows Chandra Suresh.
After killing Derek, Sylar finds that Maya and Alejandro are special. He helps them get into America to get them to Dr. Suresh. When they finally get to the border, they are surrounded by a Citizen's Border Patrol. Maya gets upset and uses her ability, causing the men fall down. Sylar holds Alejandro back from using his ability, presumably killing the men as they drive away. Sylar and Alejandro fight, and knowing Alejandro can't understand English, he tells him that the only reason he is helping the twins is so that when his powers return he can kill them and steal their powers. He says that even if he cannot get his powers back, Maya is his new toy and she's all his.
Sylar teaches Maya to learn how to control her power, and convinces her that Alejandro blames her for his wife's death. When Alejandro informs Maya that Sylar killed his own mother, Maya and Sylar decide to go to New York without Alejandro to find Dr. Suresh. Sylar is later attacked by Alejandro and Sylar kills him with a knife. Maya shows up without knowing he had just killed her brother. She tells Sylar that he was right about everything and thanks him for helping them. They share a kiss as Sylar shuts the door on her dead brother. Later, Sylar calls Mohinder from Mohinder's apartment. As Sylar strokes a sleeping Molly's hair, he tells Mohinder that he has brought Maya to talk to the doctor.
Upon returning home, Mohinder is greeted by Sylar and introduced to Maya, who needs Mohinder's help. Mohinder tells Maya that Sylar is a killer, but she admits that she has killed people as well, and describes her ability to Mohinder. Sylar tells Mohinder that he needs help too. He opened Mohinder's laptop and found lab work on a virus that takes away a person's abilities. He wants Mohinder to help him cure this virus, noting that Mohinder's blood, mixed with a certain cheerleader's blood, can cure the virus. Mohinder reluctantly agrees to help Sylar, and the two, Maya and Molly go to Mohinder's lab. Mohinder draws a sample of Sylar's blood, and finds that Sylar has the same strain of the virus that Niki has, telling him that the Company injected him with it as well. Sylar tells Mohinder to test the cure on Maya, who was shot by Sylar. Mohinder injects Maya, causing her wound to heal and the bullet to be expelled from her body. As Sylar prepares for his injection, Elle arrives and shoots bolts at Sylar. He quickly grabs the medicinal case with the remedy and runs from her, getting struck in the back and falling through a pane of glass. Sylar sits against a building with the virus's antidote.

He finds a box of Noah's files and grows excited to have a "shopping list" of abilities, since he lost all his powers. While Sylar is talking aloud with his back to her, Claire stabs him through the chest. She runs to the front door but he pins her to the wall. Sylar opens her skull so he can view her brain. She asks if he is going to eat her brain, but Sylar replies that that's disgusting. Sylar obtains her regenerative power and finds more. He says that Claire is more "special" than she actually realizes and no one, not even Sylar, can kill her.
