Julian Sloane

&nbsp "I dont play well with others"- Sloane when Confronted by the Threshold agents

Dr Julian Sloan (played by Jeffrey Donovan) is charecter in the series Threshold and the only known human Alien hybrid encountered by the team.

Hybrid Nature
Like many other Sloane was unkowingly exposed to the alien conversion pathogen through infected food in 2006. Normally such exposure would lead to death or transformation into an alien infectee but Sloane was the exception.

Born with ressesive genes for the condition Hypathrophic Cardiomiopathy, his exposure to the infection triggered these dormant genes wich subsequently caused the conversion prosess to halt half way through.

Abbilities
Has a Hybrid Sloane had many of the aliens' stregths such as enhanced strength, speed and stamina. However unlike the infectee's Sloane still posesses his human mind and traits such as compassion and empathy wich the infectee's lack. He also posess the unique abbility to phisically see those who have been exposed to the alien virus. To Sloane such indaviduals are surronded by blue/green glass shard aura. Unfortuantly Sloane cannot distiguish between those who have had minimal exposure and those who are no longer human.

Has a doctor he has a high undertanding of anotomy wich he uses to the fullest when hunting down his victims; stabbing them in the back of the neck and severing the brain stem killing the victim.

In the Series
Prior to encountering the Threshold team Sloane was infected by the alien pathogen though contaminated food in the mass attack in 2006. His infection was halted half through by the activation of defective genes in his body for a heart condition by the virus. Somehow the activation of these genes tricked the virus into shutting down without fatlelly mutaing him has with others who's bodies resisted the change.

After this Sloane began hunting down other infected people having discovered the alien conspiricy; his hybrid nature allowed him to get closer than any human could undetected. He managed to kill several alien infectees withough the aliens or the Threshold team being aware of him.

This changed when he whent after an infected woman who was sleeping with Threshold agent Ramsey. Ignoring Ramsey he whent straight for the woman and killed her by severing her spinal colum. Concerned that an alien was suddenly targeting one of its own the Threshold team invetigated and learnt of Slone deeds and the fact he also murdered one dreamer; a human with minimal, but harmless exposure to the virus.

Molly and Fennway eventaly discovered Sloane's status has Hybrid when he left a blood saple at the sight of an attack. Fennway initialy believed that Sloane's killing spree was the result of the alien programing in his mind being corrupted by his hybrid nature; making him want to kill instead of spred the virus. Molly instead belived it was human side that was driving him to kill the aliens threat.
