Daniel Graystone is a brilliant and wealthy Caprican computer engineer who creates the Colonial Cylons.

Daniel is married to Amanda and is the father of Zoe, who is killed in a suicide bombing. After learning that his daughter uploaded her personality, memories and DNA into an online holographic avatar before her death, he becomes obsessed with recreating his daughter in the real world using the avatar. Daniel enlist the help of another grieving father, Joseph Adams (later Adama) to obtain a technology that would be better able to handle the Zoe Avatar consciousness. He does this in exchange for Daniel recreating Adams's dead daughter Tamara using the same method Zoe used to recreate herself online. Tamara, along with her mother, had died in the same terrorist explosion that claimed Graystone's daughter. Initially resistant, Adams succumbs to his own need to see his daughter and obtains the technology, an advanced Central Processing Unit chip, from Graystone's business competitor. despite the competitor's adamant refusal to sell the chip Adams use his underworld contacts gains possession of the chip (possibly sanctioning murder) and gives it to Daniel. Daniel fulfills his promise to Adams to "reunite" him with his own daughter. But to the meeting in Virtual Reality between Adams and "Tamara" doesn't go well with Tamara in a state of near shock and frantic. She becomes even more so when she can't feel her own heart beat. Appalled by her own daughter and his own horror Adams renounces Daniel's efforts and leaves. Undaunted Daniel tries to recreate Zoe as a robot, using one of his pre existing prototype military solider units. However, there is a mishap with the download, seemingly failing after the avatar's computer program is corrupted during download into the robot's CPU. The data is apparently unrecoverable. Desperate, Graystone goes into and searches for Zoe-A in Virtual Reality, but to his renewed grief she is gone, the effort to have his daughter back in someway, a total failure.

Daniel then moves on to finish creation of the soldier robots for his Caprican military contract using the stolen technology that improved his product immensely. He calls his creation a Cybernetic Life Node: Cylon. He seems to have comes to terms with his daughter permanent death and puts aside his attempt of quasi resurrection of her. However, unknown to him (as of the Pilot episode), Daniel actually succeeds when Zoe-R, its data recovered somehow in its memory and CPU "awakens" in a laboratory. Daniel Graystone , thus creating the first Cylon with a human consciousness. (Caprica pilot]])
