Daniel Graystone (Battlestar Galactica Timeline 2)



Daniel Graystone is a principal character in the Battlestar Galactica Timeline 2 Universe. He debuted in Caprica 101-102, Pilot in 2010.

History
Daniel is the husband of Amanda Graystone and the father of Zoe Graystone. He was the owner and head of Graystone Industries in Caprica City on planet Caprica. Daniel created the Cylons, but it was not until after the death of his daughter, Zoe that he discovered a method to bring the Cylons to life. Using technology invented by his late daughter after discovering her avatar form in the Holoband virtual world, also a creation of Graystone Industries, Daniel would eventually see his failed Cylon program become a success. On June 20, 148,060 BCE, Daniel programmed the Cylons to violently prevent a terrorist attack at Atlas Stadium. One year later, Daniel was able to bring Zoe's avatar form into reality, with a new synthetic form.

Danaverse Connection
Some time after the events of Caprica Season 1, Daniel and Amanda both fall victim to Daniel's own creation, the Cylons. The Cylons and the synthetic human Cylon form that started with Zoe remains Daniel's legacy in the Battlestar Galactica Timeline 2 Universe.
