Gabriel Yu-Law

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gabriel Yu-Law is a fictional character and the eponymous main villain/anti-hero portrayed by Chinese martial artist/film actor Jet Li in the 2001 action movie The One.

A superhuman criminal, Yu-Law is a former agent of the Multiverse Authority. The MVA is an organization policing interdimensional travel (via detecting wormhole openings, which can be predicted like the weather). He sought to hunt down and kill variations of himself in alternate universes to absorb a common life force (which possibly has to do something with the string theory) that connects them all. By killing his other selves, and absorbing their power, he may become physically invincible. Yu-Law was inspired by the actions of an interdimensional criminal named Andrew Harris.
