history

"Before the night is over, I'm going to prove to you, one by one, that you're all monsters exactly like me."

For the life that he built for himself, Gabriel Gray started out quite ordinary. Raised as the son of a watchmaker, he merely desired a life that wasn't ordinary. He was identified by Chandra Suresh as a person with enhanced abilities, and after this he did everything he could to maintain them, which transformed into a "hunger" for new, better abilities which he stole from others. This made him out to be a feared villain for several years. 

For the most part, Sylar is all about himself and furthering his own positions of power and strength. He is obviously not against killing to get what he wants, but he is capable of furthering his power without it. He's a bit complicated in that he isn't sure of his own image and how he wants to go on. He isn't certain if he enjoys killing and being a villain, and he isn't certain if he fits into the "hero" category, so he simply exists for himself and writes his own morals as he sees fit. He's not interested in making friends, and won't hesitate to be an ass for the sake of being an ass, but that's usually all the damage he'll do to a person who crosses his path unless they can prove that they're interesting enough to keep his attention.

GAME: Ipswich RPG

Returning from his three year stint in Hell, Chase is pissed. He’s not alone, either – in his epic escape from Hell, he managed to rift time and space, opening gaps to other worlds … and letting people from all across time, space, and reality into Ipswich.

GAME: False Reality

In the latest of social experiments, characters wake up one morning unaware that their memories have been altered, and their reality has become false.

GAME: In Darkness

They’d started their ‘social experiments’ a quarter of a century ago, give or take. First it was locals, volunteers, and then ... they weren’t volunteers, but people that the Heads thought would be good candidates. In 2032, they developed the technology to rift space and time, and as they honed the technique to pinpoint characteristic held by people across realities. 

GAME: Beyond the Black

Miranda wasn't the first, last, or only cover-up the Alliance was involved in ...

GAME: Underworld Angel

Morality comes in shades of grey, and none know it quite so well as the Alliance. Exposed for their crimes, they curl up to lick wounds and regroup. Humanity is still in desperate need of betterment, and those who don't leave the establishment in disgust after the origin of Reavers is leaked unite to rebuild a better, more elaborate project. What better way to skirt by the principles of morality than by choosing test subjects who technically shouldn't even exist?

Nobody knows for certain just how the technology was acquired, but cleverly reverse-engineered alien - some might say, Time Lord - tech allowed the same projects responsible for River Tam to continue unscathed. Drawing people from other points in time within parallel universes meant having no family or friends to answer to when those test subjects were harmed during experimentation - and having access to a vast array of natural talents unavailable in humans of their home world.

It worked, initially, but over time the lab rats began to grow discontent. Subjects from the same realities grew closer, patients with similar augmentations began training together in secret, and ultimately the Alliance learned an extremely important lesson: when you mistreat people with incredibly powerful abilities, you will get burned. Those dragged into a world where they never belonged have taken up residence on the once-abandoned planet of Miranda and, with great effort, hijacked the technology used to bend reality. They may not be able to seal the rifts in time and space, but they have been able to prevent the world from collapsing and redirect most rifts to the commandeered planet so newcomers aren't stranded without assistance in a vast, new universe.

Though it took years of war and unfathomable losses, the military compounds which once experimented upon innocent other-worlders have been destroyed. Project: Paradise Lost, the origin of River Tam, has finally seen its last day in the sun and, as far as the 'verse as a whole knows, things have gone quiet on the human augmentation front. Deep in a secret facility, however, Project: Odyssey has taken root - and with it, the Alliance has begun cannibalizing its own military forces, drawing in new recruits who show potential in further experimentation with enhanced powers. Perhaps it's true, what they say: war never changes.
