About The Fanlisting

A fanlisting is simply an online list of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are), they are just a place where you can sign up with other fans.

Who is this guy?

Gabriel Gray was a second generation watchmaker who always despised his occupation. He had always lived an uneventful life up to and including the point where he began fixing watches himself at the family business, Gray and Sons. When he was approached by Chandra Suresh and told that he might have special powers, Gabriel was quite hopeful that his theories were correct. However, none of Chandra's tests indicated that Gabriel had any sort of abnormal properties whatsoever. Growing doubtful, Chandra decided to move on to the next person on his list, which angered the distraught Gabriel. In an attempt to validate his hopes and prove that he was special, Gabriel used information from Chandra's notes with the name and address of Brian Davis, another possible subject on Chandra's list. He contacted Davis, asking him to visit his store and introduced himself as "Sylar," a pseudonym derived from the brand of watch that he was working on at the time. Gabriel then identified Davis as a telekinetic. Just as he was able to detect inconsistencies and defects in watches and time pieces, Gabriel sensed the genetic difference between Davis and a normal human, stating that he was "broken." Unlike Gabriel, who desperately wanted to be special, Davis feared his power, asking if he could be rid of it. Claiming that he could "fix" Davis, Gabriel brutally murdered him, acknowledging a previous statement by Chandra that "it is in the brain." He returned to Chandra's apartment the next day, this time demonstrating extreme telekinetic abilities beyond those exhibited by Davis. Thoroughly impressed, Chandra continued on with his research with "Sylar."

Sylar, being Chandra's very first recorded study, was dubbed "Patient Zero," though sometime over the course of six months the study ceased, as the two had a falling out. In a taped phone conversation discovered by Mohinder Suresh, Sylar states that Chandra "made [him] this way," and referred to a mysterious "uncontrollable hunger" that he now experiences. Chandra wanted nothing to do with Sylar at this point. A vision Chandra's son, Mohinder, experienced in showed Sylar killing Chandra in the latter's taxicab. Chandra's death was what originally brought Mohinder to New York.

Eventually, Sylar became a notorious serial killer, using Chandra's list to track down victims across the United States. This led FBI agent Audrey Hanson to become obsessed with capturing him. Three months after taking on his serial killer persona, Sylar led Hanson on a chase through the streets of Chicago, following another one of his murders. Hanson chased him into the subways. He gave his cap and trench coat to an innocent elderly man, which caused the agent to mistake the man for Sylar. After shooting the man, she realized her mistake, and the unbearable guilt from her error intensified her drive to hunt him down.

Agent Hanson investigated a double homicide where a married couple with a child were murdered. The woman was pinned horizontally to the staircase and the male, James Walker, was frozen solid in mid-pose with his brain removed. Telepathic police officer Matt Parkman found their unharmed daughter, Molly, hiding in the house, and learned the name "Sylar" from Hanson. The two began working together to catch their suspect.

Sylar infiltrated the FBI's Los Angeles office and attempted to kidnap the murdered couple's daughter, Molly. Parkman and Hansen stopped him and gave chase. When Audrey pulled her gun, Sylar used his powers to force her back against a wall and make her point her weapon to her own head. Matt arrived and shot at Sylar, but when Matt checked on Audrey, Sylar stood up and the bullets which supposedly hit him fell to the ground. As the two law-enforcement officers looked back, Sylar disappeared upward.

Meanwhile, Mohinder and Eden McCain broke into Sylar's apartment in New York. The apartment had no photographs but plenty of books on philosophy and a copy of Chandra's book, Activating Evolution. A secret room also contained a map similar to those used by the Sureshes, but with many more connections and papers linked to it. Nathan Petrelli was identified on one of the links, and in an adjoining room, the wall was covered in scrawls, some seemingly written in blood. Most of the messages amounted to variations on the phrase "Forgive me, father, for I have sinned." When Mohinder fetched police officers to show them the apartment, it had already been cleaned out.

Sylar continued to use Chandra's list, leading him to Texas. Sylar entered a diner where Hiro Nakamura and Ando Masahashi were being served by a young waitress named Charlie Andrews. Charlie Andrews possessed a superhuman memorization ability, which Sylar learned from watching her from the shadows. When Charlie went to the diner's storeroom, Sylar murdered her in his standard fashion. Sylar then took her brain, despite there being a blood clot in it.

A stylized image of Sylar was found on a painting in Isaac Mendez's apartment. When Peter Petrelli finished the painting, the man was standing over the mutilated body of a cheerleader. After his stop at the diner, Sylar traveled to Claire's high school to murder the one he believed to be a superhealing cheerleader. In the school's gym, Sylar attacked Claire and her classmate Jackie Wilcox, but concentrated his attack on Jackie, due to a news article which reported that Jackie had saved a man from a fire. Sylar merely hurled Claire, with crushing force, against a nearby wall. As Sylar brutally attacked Jackie, Claire healed from the attack and saw Sylar cut open Jackie's skull with no physical contact. When Sylar realized he had the wrong girl, he turned to pursue Claire. As she made her escape, Sylar used his powers to attack Peter, who had run into Claire in the hallway, by hurtling locker doors at him. His pursuit ended on top of the school, where he and Peter struggled, causing both of them to fall off. Sylar escaped alive, but was later apprehended by Eden McCain and the Haitian. Eden used her persuasive abilities to prevent Sylar from attacking her and the Haitian put him to sleep.

Sylar is confined in a small cell which supposedly prevents him from using his powers. During his imprisonment, Sylar becomes infuriated when Mr. Bennet repeatedly refers to him as Gabriel, insisting that his name is really Sylar after repeated uses of his former name. Bennet informs him that he'll be taken apart and studied, comparing the act to the watches Sylar once repaired. Before this can happen, however, Eden visits Sylar and attempts to use her powers to make him commit suicide with a gun she brought along, as she believes him to be too dangerous to be kept alive for any reason. However, before she can give him the gun, he telekinetically drags her through the glass wall of his cell. While he informs her that her power will help him immensely, she points the gun to her own head and fires, killing herself and preventing Sylar from acquiring her power.

Bennet and the Haitian then rush into the cell and subdue him with a tranquilizer gun. Sylar is later seen lying helpless on the floor of his cell after being injected with strange drugs used to help make special abilities manifest. The doctor in charge of him, Hank, states that Sylar has been tested to the brink of death, saying Sylar had been given enough drugs to kill an elephant, and still fails to display any power besides telekinesis.

The tests on Sylar seem to be fatal, as he dies despite Hank's best efforts. However, after Hank reports this to Bennet and removes his restraints, Sylar revives (possibly having faked his condition) and murders Hank. When Bennet arrives to check on Sylar, he finds Hank's body in Sylar's place and Sylar standing calmly behind him. Sylar simply asks Bennet, "How's Claire?"

Sylar uses his telekinesis to attack Mr. Bennet, and then traps him in the cage in which Bennet had imprisoned him. After stealing Bennet's driver's license to learn the location of Bennet's house, he travels there. Under the disguise of a Primatech employee making a delivery for Mr. Bennet, he fools Mrs. Bennet for a while. However, Sylar's strange interest in Claire eventually causes Mrs. Bennet to see through his deception. He then uses his telekinesis to attack her, after telling her of his murderous intentions in regards to Claire. As he moves in to finish her off, Mr. Bennet and the Haitian run into the house. Bennet shoots Sylar multiple times. Nonetheless, Sylar quickly escapes. Though the Haitian quickly chases after him, Sylar has already vanished.

While on the run once more, the bullet wounds annoy Sylar. He notes that things would be easier if he had Claire Bennet's healing factor. To go "north" and out of "Podunk, Texas," Sylar hitches a ride with a semi-truck driver. After realizing the driver is really heading West, Sylar kills him and hijacks the delivery truck. Police eventually follow Sylar, but he easily escapes them by using his powers to put ice on the road and then jump/fly out of the truck as it crashes over the embankment. Sylar also notes that he is down to the last person he can remember from Chandra's list.

Zane Taylor had been expecting Mohinder Suresh, and Sylar let Zane assume he was Suresh when he came to his home. Zane let him into his house, quickly demonstrating his molecular manipulation powers to him. The floor was also littered with melted appliances that Zane had tested his powers on. Sylar kills Zane and takes his power, just before the real Mohinder arrives. When Mohinder arrived, Sylar identified himself as Zane Taylor, showing Mohinder his new power when prompted. Mohinder then asked for a DNA sample. Sylar covertly gives him a sample from Taylor's corpse, in place of his own. In the end, Sylar, in need of a new way to find victims, has a proposition for Mohinder. Sylar asks to accompany Mohinder on his mission to find the other "unique people," saying he could help convince them since he has a power. Mohinder happily agrees.

Sylar and Mohinder locate a woman named Dale, who possess incredibly enhanced hearing, able to hear rain coming from forty miles away, or hear the changes in someone's heartbeat. Sylar demonstrates Zane's power to her, and she agrees to let Mohinder run some tests. Later that night Sylar returns and kills Dale, taking her power. The next day, Sylar finds her powers hard to control, the slightest noise causing him to reel in pain. Mohinder finds Dale's body, but Sylar convinces him not to phone the police, telling him they'd look too suspicious. Mohinder agrees, and says he'll phone them once they're on the road again.

Mohinder, unbeknownst to Sylar, has discovered his true identity, after finding a news article on the internet about Zane Taylor's death. Mohinder drugs Sylar, and restrains him to a chair, hooking up an I.V. that feeds Sylar a chemical to make him unable to control his powers. Mohinder prepares to shoot Sylar, but stops when Sylar tells him that his father confided in him, and trusted him more then Mohinder, who instead takes a sample of Sylar's spinal fluid. Through the sample, Mohinder apparently finds the key to being able to locate the other unique people ("make a new list", as Mohinder put it). He then goes to kill Sylar, who had secretly shut the I.V. off via telekinesis. Sylar telekinetically stops the bullet Mohinder fires at him, and then asks Mohinder for his list. Later on, Peter arrives at Mohinder's apartment, finding him pinned to the ceiling, bleeding. Sylar then emerges from the darkness and pins Peter to the wall, saying that he'd like to see how Peter's power works. He then grabs Peter and begins to slice his skull in the same manner he has all his victims.

Sylar slices deep into Peter's skull, attempting to claim his powers. However, Peter is able to use Claire's healing ability to close the wound before hurling Sylar across the room with his own telekinetic abilities, freeing Mohinder as a result. Sylar quickly recovers from the attack and prepares to battle Peter, who responds by becoming invisible. Sylar retaliates by lifting a large amount of shattered glass off the ground and flinging it in all directions, stabbing Peter in the back of the head and killing him. As Sylar moves in to take Peter's power, Mohinder crushes him against the wall with his charts, knocking him out. Sylar awakens later, finding Mohinder's list destroyed. He flies into a rage, only to find Isaac's address on the ground.

saac just finishes a painting of Sylar standing over his corpse as the killer arrives. Isaac tells Sylar that he's seen Sylar's future, and that he is doomed to die at the hands of the other heroes. Sylar demands to see those paintings, but Isaac says that he has already sent them for the others to find, and that his purpose is complete; he was destined to show the others how to kill Sylar. Sylar retaliates by impaling Isaac's wrists and ankles with paintbrushes. Isaac tells him that he can't fight the future, and Sylar kills him and takes his power. Sylar is later seen painting a picture of Nathan Petrelli standing in the White House. His painting is, however, far darker and more macabre than Isaac's, showing Nathan in a slightly demonic light; the colors of the painting are also distorted.

Sylar finishes a new painting, showing himself about to kill Ted Sprague. Fearing that the painting indicates that he is the exploding man, he phones Suresh, telling him that he doesn't know why he'd want to do that. He tells him that he only killed people who "didn't deserve" their powers, and that he doesn't want to kill all those innocent people. Mohinder asks him to turn himself in while dialing 911, which Sylar hears and quickly hangs up. Sylar then calls his mother and asks if he could come over. He goes to clean himself up, dressing like he appeared in Six Months Ago, with his glasses and slicked hair. As he goes to leave, he hears the heartbeats of Hiro and Ando, who had come looking for Isaac. Hiro teleports himself and Ando away just before Sylar moves the painting they were using as cover aside, and they then begin to follow him.

Sylar arrives at his mother's apartment, his mother expressing great joy and relief to see him. During their conversations, in which Sylar asks that his mom accept him as a "normal" watchmaker, and not wish for him to be special, it becomes apparent that his mother is the reason Sylar longs to be special. She even tells him that he could be president if he wanted. Sylar eventually demonstrates his powers to his mother, using a kitchen hose, his ice powers and telekinesis to turn her apartment into a "snow globe". However, he seems to become detached and unresponsive as he uses his powers, eventually flinging snow globes around the room and injuring his mother.

She hides from him in her room, Sylar pleading with her to come out and asking why he'd hurt all the people he thinks he'll kill when New York explodes. His mother goes to leave, saying that she wants to speak with her son, not the man before her. Sylar tries to prevent his mother from leaving and a brief struggle ensues, his mother trying to stab him with a pair of scissors. Sylar inadvertently impales his mother, just before Hiro stops time and moves in to kill Sylar. However, Hiro hesitates and breaks his concentration, allowing Sylar to block his swing. Sylar tries to goad Hiro into killing him, calling him weak when he can't do it. He breaks Hiro's sword with his freezing powers, and Hiro teleports away before Sylar can kill him. Sylar is later seen painting the explosion in New York in blood, saying that his mother was right about him being able to become president.

Sylar later tracks down Sprague, who is with Claire, Peter, Mr. Bennet and Matt Parkman. Sylar uses his enhanced hearing to learn that Sprague, Peter, and Claire are heading to Nebraska and he begins following them. Peter hears Sylar's thoughts as they move down the street, and the three of them duck into a building to hide. Sylar takes the time to contact the FBI and inform them of Sprague's whereabouts, leading to his arrest shortly after he leaves the building. Audrey Hanson, who is leading the FBI team, thanks Sylar for the tip. He gives his name as Isaac Mendez before disappearing into the crowd. Later, Sylar attacks the van that is transferring Sprague to Guantanamo Bay, using his telekinesis to flip it over. Still chained to the van, Sprague is unable to fight back as Sylar moves in and kills him, taking his power. He is last seen atop a building, overlooking New York and testing his new ability. He then gives an eerie grin as he looks out on the city, and utters one word: "Boom".

Sylar paints a picture of himself facing off against Peter Petrelli in battle. Realizing Peter is in his final destiny, Sylar prepares to hunt him down. However, before he leaves, Ando arrives to kill him. Sylar easily defeats Ando and discovers the comic that shows his death, then taunting Ando that a "pathetic man" like Hiro could never kill him. Sylar demands the location of Peter from Ando, but Ando tells him he doesn't know. Hiro teleports into the loft, and he and Sylar have a standoff, Sylar taunting Hiro to try and stop time before he cuts Ando's head off. Hiro manages to quickly teleport himself and Ando away, and Sylar leaves.

Doing as his painting suggests, Sylar waits in Kirby Plaza for Peter. Peter soon arrives with Mr. Bennet, whom Sylar hurls against a wall, incapacitating him. Sylar tells Peter that he will not get "all the glory", and grabs him with his telekinesis. Matt Parkman arrives and shoots at Sylar, who stops the bullets and throws them back at Matt, gravely wounding him. Sylar then grabs a parking meter and begins to beat Peter, but a nearby Niki Sanders rips the meter from Sylar's hands and knocks him down. Peter tells Niki to leave and now - having absorbed her superhuman strength - begins beating Sylar viciously. Sylar, instead of fighting back, begins laughing as Peter's hands begin to glow. He tells Peter that he has been wrong all along, that he is the villain, and Sylar is the hero. As Sylar prepares to finish Peter, Hiro teleports in behind him and stabs Sylar through the chest before he can react. Sylar collapses to the ground, but before Hiro can do anything to stop Peter from exploding, Sylar uses what little strength he has left to toss Hiro against a building, forcing him to teleport away at the last second. Sylar smiles and slumps to the ground and in his eyes sees everyone who has

died due to his own actions, including himself, and they then fade to white. As the other characters mourn the apparent loss of the Petrelli brothers, Sylar vanishes, leaving only a bloody trail leading from where he laid to an open manhole cover on which a cockroach crawls.

Later Sylar is found to be in the company of Candice Wilmer, who apparently dragged him into the manhole cover after his defeat in New York. The two are in hiding somewhere in Mexico. Sylar's severe injuries, described as having required eight surgeries to fix (Hiro's stab apparently struck his spine, among other injuries), have somehow rendered his powers inoperative, if not caused them to disappear entirely. Candice assures him that his powers will return, if he has adequate time to rest and heal. She also mentions that the people she works for want Sylar to be healthy and with his power back. Sylar, enraged by his loss of powers, begins rebuilding his power base by killing Candice, only to discover that it does not correct the problem — he is unable to access her power of illusion. Stumbling outside, he finds himself alone in the middle of a dense jungle.

A period of time later, Alejandro and Maya come across his near unconscious form on their way to America. When asked what his name is, he replies with Gabriel Gray, his name before adopting the Sylar moniker. He tells Maya that he knows Dr. Chandra Suresh and that he will take the siblings to him. Maya praises Sylar, while Alejandro remains wary of Sylar's intentions. While making a stop, the car's 'owner', Derek, notices from a newspaper that Maya and Alejandro are wanted fugitives. Sylar agrees to stall the pair while Derek calls the police, but kills Derek before heading back to Maya and Alejandro. Once there, he is nearly killed after stressing Maya with the news that Derek is calling the police, which causes her to manifest her virus. However, Sylar is saved when Alejandro reverses the effects. Sylar then agrees to take the pair to see Chandra Suresh and reveals he has the keys, driving off with the siblings after telling them that he understands people like them, who have done things they aren't really responsible for. Throughout, a jagged, broken version of Sylar's 'clockwork' theme is heard.
