Sylar's victims

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

List of Presumed Victims

• Brian Davis is presumably Sylar's first victim (while still known as Gabriel Gray/Gabriel Sylar). Brian was (manually) hit from behind with a large crystal. (Six Months Ago)
• James Walker and his wife are found dead in their home, their daughter traumatized. (Don't Look Back)
• Hiro discovers the corpse of Isaac in the future. (Don't Look Back)
• Sylar also killed an FBI agent who was guarding Molly at headquarters. (One Giant Leap)
• Charlie is killed in the back of the Burnt Toast Diner. (Seven Minutes to Midnight)
• In a dream, Mohinder sees his father, Chandra, killed by an unseen figure wearing Sylar's watch, presumably Sylar himself, in a cab. (Seven Minutes to Midnight)
• Jackie Wilcox is killed by Sylar at Union Wells High School, fulfilling a painting by Isaac and Peter. (Homecoming)

List of Attempted Victims

• After failing to locate her at her parents' home, Sylar attempts to abduct Molly Walker from FBI Headquarters in Los Angeles. (One Giant Leap)
• Audrey Hanson draws her gun on Sylar and orders him to stop, but she is somehow hurled backward. He then somehow makes her point her gun at her own head, but before he can make her fire, Matt arrives and fires several shots at the suspect, who gets up and escapes, as does Audrey.(One Giant Leap)
• Claire Bennet regenerates after Sylar throws her aside to focus on Jackie Wilcox. He realizes it's Claire, not Jackie, who is an evolved human, and pursues her, but is prevented from killing her by Peter Petrelli. (Homecoming)
• Eden McCain is attacked by Sylar through his holding cell's glass, but shoots herself before he can take her power..(Fallout)

Methods

Sylar's victims have been killed by several methods:

• Blunt force
• Freezing them
• Impaling them with objects via Telekinesis

Additionally, some victims have the top of their skulls cut off, 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".
• Sylar is seen wearing the same broken wristwatch as Chandra's killer in Mohinder's dream. Assuming the dream is accurate, Chandra Suresh is likely another of Sylar's victims. If so, then why he was killed in such a different fashion from the others likely has some significance.

Memorable Quotes

There isn't a 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
