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].

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. (Caprica pilot)

After her death, Daniel Graystone downloads his daughter's Virtual Reality avatar into a prototype military soldier robot by her father as the first cybernetic life-form node, a Cylon.

Zoe-A

Before her death, Zoe found a way to upload her memories and DNA into a Virtual Reality 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's online avatar.

Zoe-R

When Daniel Graystone discovers his daughter's online twin, he decides to recreate Zoe as a robot, using technology stolen from his business competitor, Tomas Vergis with the help of Joseph Adams's (later Adama) organized crime contacts, whose wife and daughter also died in the same explosion. After Vergis refuses Adams's business advances, the crime syndicate murders Vergis (possibly with Adams's knowledge) and Adams obtains the technology which he gives to Graystone. With it Zoe-A is downloaded into a robotic brain by her "father" Daniel, and thus becomes Zoe-R, the first version of the Cylons in the Twelve Colonies. (Caprica pilot)

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.
