Authors Note: This story is told from a third "all knowing" party… Changes in perspective may occur. (The fall of Gabriel Grey and who was really responsible for the creation of Sylar) These are key moments in Sylar's journey and his thoughts… ((I know I am making Chandra out to be the "Bad" guy... I just seems fitting... after the last episode... "Your father who betrayed me... Don't make that same mistake Mohinder" ;p))
How did Sylar really come about? What provoked this seemingly harmless man into becoming a monster? This simple watchmaker, who wanted nothing, but to be special?
Our story begins in Brooklyn, New York, in a small store, Grey and Sons with Gabriel Grey, the son of an insignificant yet talented watchmaker…

Gabriel was doing what he did best, fixing what was broken. He laid several more cogs and wheels into the watch that sat on the worktable in front of him. His efforts were soon rewarded with the ticking of the clock filled the room. He smiled. This was what he was meant to do. Fix what was broken.
His thoughts were soon interrupted as the door chimed. "Can I help you?" He asks the visitor.
"I hope so Mr. Grey." The man says with a smile. But Gabriel was paying attention his gaze fell on the watch the man wore.
"I can fix it…"
"My watch isn't broken…"
"Actually it is…"
That was the first time Chandra Suresh and Gabriel Grey met…
The next few visits were full of questions… testing… more testing… Chandra's outlook on the whole thing was deteriorating. 'Maybe He was wrong… Maybe Gabriel wasn't part of this evolutionary change'
That all changed when Gabriel stormed out of his apartment one afternoon.
When he had returned the next day Chandra was reluctant to let him in the door. But Gabriel pleaded with him to let him in. Chandra opened the door to let the watchmaker in…
From outside the door you could hear a glass break and a muffled… "I'm sorry about the glass"
After he saw Gabriel's power, Chandra couldn't wait to see what else Gabriel could do. Gabriel adopted the name Sylar and Chandra soon began experimenting and finding others for Sylar to "fix" to see the full extent of his ability.
