Dark hero Sylar, played by Zachary Quinto, has spent the majority of his life making and fixing clocks, but feeling like he's worth more. When a geneticist enters his life asking if he has any powers, Sylar discovers his ability to harness other Heroes' abilities... if he kills them first.

Known for his roles on the hit TV series "24" and the not-so-hit series, "So NoTORIous" with Tori Spelling, Quinto has appeared as a guest star on many shows including "Dragnet" and "Crossing Jordan".

Quinto attended Carnegie Mellon University, and won the Gene Kelly Award in High School for his part as General in "Pirates of Penzance".
