Gabriel Gray a.k.a. Gabriel Sylar (which he adopted from the name on his watch) is a former timepiece restorer who always desired to be special instead of "ordinary". Chandra Suresh came to him, identified him as "Patient Zero" in his research and revealed the existence of evolved humans to him. Discovering his ability of intuitive aptitude, he realized he could figure out how abilities worked and how to gain more.
Character History
In His Own Image
Along with Chandra, Sylar visits James Walker. After studying his power, he later demonstrates it.
Evolved Human Abilities
Sylar's innate ability is the power to determine exactly how things work. Sylar used this innate ability to discover how to take the abilities of other evolved humans. By studying the brains of those with abilities, he can later modify himself and copy those abilities. Using this method, he has to see an ability in action before he can copy it.
According to his assignment tracker file at primatechpaper.com, Sylar's control index is 76%. His data analysis shows his biological level at 40, cerebral at 85, elemental at 45, and temporal/spatial at 20.
He inherited intuitive aptitude from his father, Samson Gray.
Acquired Abilities
With Sylar's ability enabling him to take the abilities of others, he has acquired many abilities. He has acquired the following abilities (in order):
- Telekinesis from Brian Davis (Six Months Ago)
- Shattering from Trevor Zeitlan
- Shadow manipulation from David
- Hibernation
- Freezing from James Walker (In His Own Image)
- Enhanced memory from Charlie Andrews (Come Together)
