The Cylon Prototype was created by Daniel Graystone
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
These models are earlier version of the Cylon Centurion Model 0005, and appear similar in construction, though there is no armored plating covering the Centurion's machinery underneath.
