| “ | The Multiverse, every universe in it, is irrational, sloppy. I just try to make it rational. I just try to make it neat. You call it murder. How could I murder myself 123 times? I just took those wasted energies and put them to one container: me. It made me faster, smarter, stronger. What if that is our fate? To unite with our other selves, to be unified forever. To be one. I will be The One. | „ |

Gabriel Yulaw is the titular main antagonist of the 2001 sci-fi action film The One.
He is a former multiverse agency (or MVA) officer turned mass murderer, who sought to murder his alternate-reality selves in order to become The One, regardless of the consequences and anyone who tried to stop him. He's the archenemy of Gabe Law, who is the last heroic recipient of Yulaw's powers and the indirect incrimination of his crimes.
He was portrayed by Jet Li, who also played the film's main protagonist Gabe Law, and Emperor Han in The Mummy: Tomb of the Emperor.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- He killed 123 of his alternate reality selves in order to gain power from them and become near-unstoppable.
- While he killed his other self out of self-defense, upon discovering the powers he possessed, he subverted his past actions and went on a mass killing spree by killing his other selves to obtain their powers and become nigh-unstoppable in the process.
- He secretly hired his female associate by arming a mouse with a volatile explosive inside the MVA base and made his escape from the Hades Universe to hunt down his last self that is Gabe Law. On his way out, he massacred several MVA guards who attempted to stop him.
- He killed Gabe's wife, T.K. Law, right in front of him, which sent Gabe into utter and complete rage in the final battle that placed himself in a disadvantageous spot against Yulaw.
- He murdered numerous police officers, including Agent Harry Rodecker, in order to continue tracking down Gabe. Besides that, he also shot an officer in the hospital, simultaneously posing as Gabe, which incriminated him for murder.
- In his last-ditch effort, he attempted to have Gabe Law take his place in the Hades Universe so he could escape again, but was soon exposed when Funsch sees Gabe's ring finger, thus ultimately foiling his plan. It is unknown if he had defeated countless other prisoners within the Stygian penal colony or had been eventually outnumbered by the many prisoners.
- His actions impacted Gabe's posthumous whereabouts; he cannot return back to his home universe, which is later emphasized that he would be forever framed and incarcerated for life due to Yulaw's atrocious felonies if so (due to Yulaw's manipulation and appearance resembling him), otherwise later starting a new life in Los Angeles with an alternate T.K. Law.
