More actions
The Cylon Prototype was created by Daniel Graystone on Caprica.
Creation
Graystone's daughter Zoe died in a suicide bombing. After learning that his daughter uploaded her personality into an online avatar before her death, Graystone decided to recreate Zoe as a robot, using technology stolen from his Tauron competitor, with the help of Joseph Adama, whose wife and daughter also died in the same explosion.
Appearance
A close examination of the U-87 reveals that it is in fact identical in construction to the Cylon Centurion Model 0005, lacking only the chrome armor plating meant to protect the Centurion's more sensitive internal machinery under field conditions.
