At some point, a wealthy Caprican computer engineer named Daniel Graystone began subconsciously receiving knowledge from the Count. As Graystone was trying to design an intelligent robot, he was imbued with the know-how to bio-engineer human-derived neurons possessing silica pathways and then assemble those neurons into synthetic brain matter that contained a digital consciousness.
