Zoe Graystone is the daughter of Daniel Graystone, a brilliant and wealthy Caprican computer engineer (a trait which she inherited) and his wife Amanda Graystone [2]. After her death, she is revived by her father as the first cybernetic life-form node, a Cylon.
She became a closet monotheist in the polytheistic society of the Twelve Colonies after being introduced to the worship of one God by the headmistress of the Athena Academy, Sister Clarice Willow. She tries to leave Caprica with her boyfriend Ben Stark, a fanatical monotheist, but dies when Ben suicide bombs them both.
Zoe-A
Before her death, Zoe found a way to upload her memories and DNA into a hologram, thus creating an online avatar of herself, Zoe-A. After the suicide bombing, the avatar is left behind and discovered by her father. Similarly, her boyfriend also uploaded his personality into an avatar known as Ben-A.
Zoe-R
When Daniel Graystone discovers his daughter's online twin, he decides to recreate Zoe as a robot, using technology stolen from his Tauron competitor, Tomas Vergis with the help of his wife and Joseph Adama, whose wife and daughter also died in the same explosion. Zoe-A is downloaded into a robotic brain, and thus becomes Zoe-R, the first version of the Cylons.
Notes
- The name "Zoe" originally comes from the ancient Greek word for "life"[3], and is used in the New Testament of the Bible 134 times to indicate the "eternal life" or the "life after death" in heaven rewarded to the children of God[4]. This could be a reference to Zoe's own resurrection as Zoe-R, or it could be a religious reference to the Cylons' status as the children of God, or both.
