This is a list of fictional characters in the television series Heroes, the Heroes graphic novels, and the Heroes webisodes.
Main characters
In its inaugural season, Heroes featured an ensemble cast of twelve main characters. During the first season, the NBC Heroes cast page listed ten characters among the cast; Leonard Roberts arrived later, and Jack Coleman was promoted to series regular as of the eleventh episode.
For the second season of the show, Santiago Cabrera, Tawny Cypress, and Leonard Roberts left the main cast. Zachary Quinto and James Kyson Lee, who were recurring characters in the first season, were added to the main cast for the second season, and were joined by new cast members David Anders, Kristen Bell, Dania Ramรญrez, and Dana Davis. Anders was originally to be a recurring character, but was promoted to a series regular prior to the start of the season. He is credited as a guest star for the first four episodes of season two.
For the third season, Cristine Rose, recurring in the first two seasons, was promoted to series regular. Kristen Bell, David Anders, and Noah Gray-Cabey were no longer regulars and became guest cast. Additionally, Dana Davis was no longer part of the main cast as scenes involving her in the third season were cut.
Unlike most series, each main cast member is only credited for the episode he/she appears in.
Other characters with special abilities
Introduced in Season 1
Charlie Andrews
Charlene "Charlie" Andrews, portrayed by Jayma Mays, is a waitress at the Burnt Toast Diner in Midland, Texas, where Hiro Nakamura and Ando Masahashi stop to eat on their road trip to New York. After she reveals to Hiro that she had recently developed the ability to quickly memorize and recall any information with great accuracy in a seemingly unlimited volume, Sylar murders her in the diner's storeroom, removing her brain in the same manner as his other victims.[4] Hiro tries to prevent her murder by going back in time one day to warn her, but he accidentally goes back six months, to April 24 (Charlie's birthday). He convinces Charlie that both he and she have special powers by stopping time to make one thousand origami cranes. After taking a job at the diner and dating Charlie, Hiro buys two tickets to take her to Tokyo. Charlie ponders her feelings and tells Hiro that while she does not usually let people get close to her due to a blood clot in her brain that is killing her, he makes her feel happy and she loves him. However, when Hiro and Charlie are about to kiss, he inadvertently teleports back to present day Japan and is unable to return.[5]
Charles Deveaux
Charles Deveaux, portrayed by Richard Roundtree, is the wealthy father of Simone Deveaux, and one one of the founding members of the Company. He owns the Deveaux Society, which opened with the goal to "fund causes that bettered the world", and the Deveaux Building, the rooftop of which is a frequently-visited location in the series.[6] He is extremely sick at the beginning of the series, and is under Peter's care. Simone believes that Peter is "like a son" to him, and Charles believes that Peter's love and compassion can change the world, as opposed to his former partners' methods.[6]
Hana Gitelman
Meredith Gordon
Meredith Gordon, portrayed by Jessalyn Gilsig, is the biological mother of Claire Bennet and the older sister of Flint Gordon. She does her best to watch over him, leading their abusive father to tell Flint, "God gave you an older sister instead of a brain." Like her younger brother, Meredith has pyrokinetic abilities, which both enable her to create fire from her body and grant her immunity to the effects of it. The two are separated after she accidentally burns down her father's house, though they later reunite. She has an affair with Nathan Petrelli at some point, which leads to the birth of Claire. They are soon hunted by Noah Bennet, and the chase ends with a large explosion, leading the Company to believe Meredith to be deceased and Meredith to believe Claire to be deceased. Claire manages to track her down after many years, though the two only meet briefly before separating.
The Haitian
Paulette Hawkins
Paulette Hawkins, portrayed by Tina Lifford, is the mother of D.L. Hawkins, and Micah's grandmother. Her relationship to Niki is tense, questioning her ability to raise Micah. In "One Giant Leap", she defends D.L. in front of Niki. Paulette is convinced that D.L. was framed for killing his crew. She is not seen again until The Kill Squad, Part 3 where it is revealed that she had become a thorn in the Company's side and she was locked in one of the five levels. She is brought out by the Kill Squad to augment the powers of Brenden Lewis so a crater created by a Guyanan local could be covered in forestry. She performs her duty under the impression that she will be taken to her grandson, Micah, afterward. Against the Company's orders, she is shot upon finishing.
Sanjog Iyer
Sanjog Iyer, portrayed by Javin Reid, is an Indian boy whom Chandra Suresh had been observing prior to leaving for New York. Chandra's notes described Iyer as having a genetic marker allowing the boy to enter people's dreams, where he acts as a "spirit guide" of sorts. He appeared in the visions that Mohinder Suresh experienced after returning to India with his father's ashes. After Mohinder found Sanjog, he explained to Mohinder that he does not enter the dreams of others but that they instead come to him.
In "Seven Minutes to Midnight", the name on the file's label included a comma as a typo. On the NBC website, Suresh's map spells the name Sanjop Iyer. The episode "Homecoming" confirms the boy's name is Sanjog Iyer.
In an interview with Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite, they state that Sanjog's character was considered for the storyline involving Molly and her nightmare man, Maury Parkman. However, the idea was scrapped for reasons they did not reveal.[7]
Sanjog has appeared in several Heroes graphic novels showing visions of the past to various individuals.
Daniel Linderman
Daniel Linderman, portrayed by Malcolm McDowell, has the ability to heal the injuries and illnesses of living organisms; this includes healing the "scars" created by mental manipulation, thereby allowing him to restore lost memories and remove implanted thoughts.[8] He served in the U.S. Army with Arthur Petrelli, whom he ended up healing from the brink of death, in the Vietnam War. After the war, Daniel found himself living a nomadic, solitary existence. Though he occasionally drowned his sorrows in alcohol, nothing eased the pain of his war memories. He eventually became a reputed mobster, and founder of Linderman Corporation under the guidance of Adam Monroe. In person, he is persuasive, gentle, and unfailingly polite, though he has no qualms about extortion or assassination. During the first season, he manipulates various events in order to ensure that the Company controls the United States, including talking Nathan Petrelli into wanting to become president, manipulating the lives of D. L. Hawkins and Niki Sanders, kidnapping Micah Sanders to alter election polls, and planning on letting the explosion kill six million people. He is later killed by D.L. during a standoff.
During the third season, McDowell returns as a guest star, as an illusion created by Maury Parkman in the minds of Nathan Petrelli and Daphne Millbrook. He tells Nathan to become a politician again, and tells Daphne to recruit others for the Pinehearst Company. McDowell also plays the real Linderman in a flashback in "Villains".
Eden McCain
Eden McCain, portrayed by Nora Zehetner, is a Company operative with the power to control others through verbal communication. Born "Sarah Ellis", her father left her to live with her stepmother at an early age, which caused her stepmother to blame her for her father's actions and to abuse her for it. She discovered her power after saying "I wish you'd just die!" to her, which caused her heart to instantly stop beating. She headed west, adopted her new name, and began living selfishly until being taken in by Noah Bennet and the Haitian, who persuaded her into working with them. On Noah's orders, she moved in near Chandra Suresh and befriended him in order to remove Claire Bennet's name from the list of posthumans. She also becomes close to Chandra's son, Mohinder, who continues his father's research after his death. Eden later assists the Haitian in capturing Sylar, and insists to Noah that Sylar be killed. When the Company refuses to allow this, she tries to take matters into her own hands by forcing Sylar to commit suicide. However, Sylar stops her before she can do so, and she takes her own life to prevent him from gaining her power.
Ishi Nakamura
Ishi Nakamura, portrayed by Tamlyn Tomita, was the wife of Kaito Nakamura and mother to Kimiko and Hiro. She was shown as deceased when Hiro was eight years old when he went back in time with his father in an attempt to convince him to escape his death. It was revealed that she had an ability in an interview with Aron Coleite and Joe Pokaski,[9] which is shown to be the ability to heal living organisms through kisses in "Our Father". She revives Hiro's sick bird and restores the future Hiro's lost memories.
She carried the Catalyst, also referred to as "the light". Prior to her death, she originally transferred it to baby Claire, but the future Hiro intervenes and convinces her to transfer it to him instead.
Kaito Nakamura
Kaito Nakamura, portrayed by George Takei and Eijiro Ozaki (in a flashback), is a stern and powerful businessman in Japan and the father of Hiro Nakamura. He is the CEO of Yamagato Industries, and he is described as a man with "real power" by his underlings. He is initially very disappointed with Hiro, who does not show any sort of drive, though he eventually comes to respect his son as he develops into a hero. He is one of the founders of the Company, and he has an unknown power.[10] The season two DVD boxset features a deleted scene, which shows his ability as being able to analyze the probabilities of a situation and determine the outcome, though the scene is not part of the official storyline.
Arthur Petrelli
Arthur Petrelli, portrayed by Robert Forster, is the husband of Angela Petrelli, the father of Nathan Petrelli and Peter Petrelli, and the biological grandfather of Claire Bennet. Angela has stated that she and Arthur have gone through "great lengths" to protect Claire.
Arthur fought in the Vietnam War under the alias "Dallas" alongside Linderman. After the war, Petrelli and Linderman "were brought together" into a group of twelve by Adam Monroe, with a mission to help save the world. Linderman tells Nathan that Arthur became disillusioned and gave up trying to save the world, resulting in his alleged suicide. It is revealed in the third season that Angela actually poisoned Arthur because of his attempt on Nathan's life. He secretly survived, but was left paralyzed due to nerve damage from the poison.
He is the primary antagonist of the third volume, "Villains," where he is first revealed to be alive. He is in charge of the Pinehearst Company, recruiting various humans to assemble a new group of villains, as well as arranging for Adam Monroe to be brought to him in order to absorb his powers, healing Arthur's paralysis and killing Adam. He is shown to be ruthless in this endeavor, killing any who oppose him. For example, he snaps Maury Parkman's neck without hesitation when he protests the order to kill Matt.
Arthur is killed during a confrontation with Sylar, Peter, and the Haitian in "Our Father". As the Haitian suppresses Arthur's powers, Peter tries to shoot Arthur in the head, but Sylar stops the bullet. After Sylar uses his ability of lie detection to discover that Arthur is not really his father, Sylar drives the bullet into Arthur's head, killing him and destroying the catalyst.[11]
Arthur has the power to take the abilities of other posthumans through physical contact. Once he takes an ability, he cannot return it.[12] The known powers he has taken are telepathy from an unknown source; the regenerative abilities of Adam Monroe; Peter's empathic mimicry and the powers he absorbed as a result, including the Haitian's mental manipulation;[13][13] Maya Herrera's poison emission; and Hiro Nakamura's time and space manipulation.
Claude Rains
Claude Rains, portrayed by Christopher Eccleston, is a former employee of the Company, who has the ability to turn himself, any personal objects he touches, and other people invisible. Claude's power is limited to the visible spectrum; it does not make him inaudible, nor does it mask his body heat or other such emissions, allowing him to be tracked through thermal imaging or similar methods.[14] He leaves the Company after his partner, Noah Bennet, is ordered to kill him for hiding another powered human. He spends many years hiding before meeting Peter Petrelli, who can see Claude after absorbing his ability, and he attempts to help Peter control his power.
Ted Sprague
Theodore "Ted" Sprague, portrayed by Matthew John Armstrong, has the ability to generate and manipulate radiation, which he only discovers after being abducted by the Haitian.. At first, he has very little control over his power and is extremely destructive, causing such harmful side-effects as radiation poisoning, which ends up killing his wife. When he gains better control over his ability, Ted realizes he is also able to produce an EMP when necessary. He is first arrested under the assumption that he is Sylar, though he is later released. He eventually comes to believe that the Company is responsible for giving him his power, so he seeks to get revenge.
Molly Walker
Candice Wilmer
Candice Wilmer, portrayed by Missy Peregrym and Rachel Kimsey, is an agent of The Company, who has the ability to create illusions. She can manipulate her own body and a large area around herself, effectively trapping someone if she wishes, and change any detail instantly. Originally known as Betty, she is a very obese woman, so she always keeps the illusion that she is a thin woman when she is not working. She changes her appearance and takes the name Michelle in season two because Candice is too well known.
Missy Peregrym formerly worked with executive producers Greg Beeman and Jeph Loeb on Smallville and was excited to be able to audition for the role because of it. However, she felt her first audition was "one of [her] worst performances" and was surprised to get another reading the following Monday, after which she felt she did "a little better."[15] While filming, Peregrym stayed around set while the other actors played the illusions Candice cast in the show. The visual effects necessitated her to follow the other actors' exact actions as they filmed: from the parts where the viewer would see the illusion, to the parts where the viewer would see Candice or vice versa.[16]
For Season 2, however, it became more difficult for Candice's character to be involved in the show. Peregrym was never contractually bound to Heroes for the second season,[16] and after being cast in the show Reaper as a series regular, scheduling interfered with her availability to shoot her remaining scenes as Candice. This resulted in the writers' original plan for Candice and Sylar to have a multi-episode story arc being scrapped and the character getting killed off in her next episode. The producers attempted to collaborate with the producers of Reaper on shooting dates for the final episode in which Peregrym would appear, but although she agreed to work on a weekend, schedule changes for Reaper made this impossible. Rachel Kimsey then came in and her performance made a strong enough impression on writers and producers that they attempted to keep Candice, but couldn't.[17]
Introduced in season 2
Bob Bishop
Robert Bishop, portrayed by Stephen Tobolowsky, has the ability of alchemy, allowing him to change the chemical properties of objects into material such as gold. Known as Bob to his colleagues, he is one of the twelve members of the group established by Adam Monroe thirty years prior to the events of Kirby Plaza. He directs much of the tracking and capture of targets of the Company, and he is their financial source, using his ability to create unlimited amounts of gold and other "resources". Following the death of Linderman at the end of Volume One, he takes over as head of the Company. He is also Elle's father, and though she was trained to work for the Company from birth, he constantly berates her actions. Bob is killed by Sylar at the beginning of Volume Three.
Alejandro Herrera
Alejandro Herrera, portrayed by Shalim Ortiz, is the brother of Maya Herrera. He is very protective of her, even after the initial discovery of Maya's power, which kills their friends and his new wife. When she runs away, he tracks her down and discovers his ability to stop the progression of the poison she emits. Afterward, they try to escape from Mexico in order to go to New York, picking up Sylar along the way. While Maya trusts Sylar, he does not, and soon after, when he reveals his intention to force Maya to leave with him, Sylar kills him.
Maury Parkman
Maury Parkman, portrayed by Alan Blumenfeld, is Matt Parkman's father, having abandoned Matt when he was thirteen. He is one of the twelve founders of the Company, and like his son, Maury is a telepath; however, his powers are much more developed than Matt's. Instead of just reading surface thoughts, he can read people's memories and manipulate their perceptions of reality, allowing him to trap people in nightmares based on their deepest fears and insecurities. He can either render a person unconscious and manipulate their dreams, or he can induce "waking nightmares" that allow the person's real body to move. He is also able to detect Molly Walker, who calls him "the Nightmare Man" attempting to locate him using her power, and he does not require close proximity to affect a person's mind. He is one of several people swayed into believing that those with abilities are superior to humans by Adam Monroe, whom he loyally served. Maury subsequently works for Arthur Petrelli after Adam's imprisonment, having pledged to do so to save his son's life. When this arrangement became inconvenient, Arthur snapped his neck, presumably killing him.
West Rosen
West Rosen, portrayed by Nicholas D'Agosto, has the ability to fly at high speeds. He is abducted by Mr. Bennet and the Haitian for examination prior to the start of the series, though he manages to escape. He sees Claire Bennet before being recaptured and having his memory wiped, though he still remembers Bennet's glasses. Years later, he and Claire become classmates at Costa Verde High School. West has a philosophy that people are either 'Aliens' or 'Robots', 'Robots' being those who act normal, question nothing, and never "look up", while 'Aliens' are unafraid to be different. West notices that Claire makes a point of not being noticed, so he becomes intrigued to figure out where she stands.
Introduced in season 3
Bridget Bailey
Bridget Bailey, portrayed by Tehmina Sunny, is an evolved human with the power to perceive the history of any object she touches, introduced by the BBC in its mirror of Heroes 360 information. Her exchanges with Mohinder Suresh were later included on NBC.com as part of Heroes Evolutions. Her first message, entitled "I need some advice", began on July 11, 2007.[18]
The Heroes Evolutions site, Assignment Tracker 2.0, was updated on August 5, 2008 to include a new interactive map which revealed Bridget to be a Company agent paired with Berk Donahue.[19] On the Evs Dropper blog, Bailey expressed regret that she was unable to aid in the war against Evs alongside her partner. In Into the Wild, Part 3, Sean Fallon asks Gael Cruz about the "Bailey case", implying that he was assigned to aid her. Gael told him to forget it. Angela sends Bridget to meet Sylar in "One of Us, One of Them", where she is killed as soon as Angela leaves the room and her ability is absorbed.
Stephen Canfield
Stephen Canfield, portrayed by Andre Royo, is an escapee from Level Five who can open "vortexes", temporary holes in the fabric of space-time that act much like miniature black holes, drawing all nearby matter out of reality itself. He was captured by the Company after accidentally killing his neighbor. After his escape, he is confronted by Claire and later Noah Bennet and Sylar. He later attempts to find and reunite with his family, but they now fear him and don't show up. The Bennets find him again, and Noah tries to force him at gunpoint to suck Sylar into a vortex. Refusing to become a "monster", and believing he had nothing left to live for, he instead casts himself into one of his own vortices and disappears, which upsets Claire, who was the only person actually willing to help Canfield.
Baron Samedi
Baron Samedi, portrayed by Demetrius Grosse, is a powerful warlord in the jungles of Haiti, and is the half-brother of the Haitian.[13] He is a posthuman who possesses impenetrable skin, which grants him a degree of invulnerability from trauma such as fire, knives, and bullets. He shares a name with a loa and an assassin from 1973 James Bond film Live and Let Die. After escaping Level 5, he returns to Haiti and retakes control, though the Haitian follows after him. When Nathan and Peter Petrelli fly to Haiti to find the Haitian, Baron Samedi is warned of their presence by Arthur Petrelli, and he manages to capture Nathan. Due to the effects of the eclipse, Baron Samedi temporarily loses his powers, and is knocked unconscious by Peter and the Haitian as he is about to rape a girl. However, he later confronts them after regaining his ability, but is mind-wiped by the Haitian.
Eric Doyle
Eric Doyle, portrayed by David H. Lawrence XVII, has the ability of "Puppet mastery", which allows him to control the actions of other by manipulating them like a puppeteer. He is initially captured by the Company after causing people to commit suicide with his ability. He later escapes during the confrontation between Elle and Sylar, and returns to running "Doyle's Marionette Theater". He has obsessive romantic feelings Meredith Gordon, which are renewed after she goes to him fearing that Claire is going to attempt to capture him. Doyle is recaptured after forcing Meredith, Claire, and Sandra Bennet to play a variation of Russian roulette, not knowing about Claire's ability. In "Dual", he is freed by Noah Bennet along with two others and offered freedom for killing Sylar. He attempts to save Meredith, but Sylar breaks free of his control and incapacitates him.
The German
The German, portrayed by Ken Lally, has the ability of magnetism manipulation. He is originally introduced in the graphic novel "Berlin, Part 1", where he is captured by the Company. He subsequently escapes in "The Butterfly Effect" along with a dozen other prisoners. In "One of Us, One of Them", he is killed by Knox after disagreeing with his plan.
Awkwardly, The German appears in a, what seems to be, a family photograph, alongside Dr. Zimmerman, Barbara and an Unnamed Woman.
Flint Gordon Jr.
Flint Gordon Jr., portrayed by Blake Shields, is Meredith Gordon's younger brother, who also possesses the power of pyrokinesis. He produces extremely hot blue flames as opposed to Meredith's more conventional orange flames. He is slow-witted, causing him to be more of a lackey than a leader, especially when around Meredith. He and Meredith were separated as children after Meredith accidentally used her ability to burn down their abusive father's house. After being sent to different foster homes, Flint discovered his power, and Meredith later united with him until they were both captured by the Company. They were offered positions as agents, though Meredith forced them to flee to avoid being manipulated. Flint was recaptured and placed into Level Five. He ends up being released during the conflict between Sylar and Elle, and he later joins Arthur Petrelli. However, he later turns on Pinehearst Company, feeling that he won't be needed after the formula is distributed, and ends up destroying the building.
Knox
Benjamin "Knox" Washington, portrayed by Jamie Hector, gains enhanced strength when others around him are frightened. He often uses the threat of becoming stronger to fuel the fears of others. His past was going to be featured in a dropped storyline where he attempts to get out of gang life with the help of Matt Parkman, returning to his old ways after his power manifests.[20] He is initially a Level Five prisoner, who escapes after the conflict between Sylar and Elle. He joins with the others to hunt down Noah Bennet, though he eventually ends up working for Arthur Petrelli. However, he later turns against Pinehearst Company, feeling that he won't be useful once the formula is distributed, but is frozen and shattered by Tracy Strauss as he is about to kill Nathan Petrelli.
Daphne Millbrook
Daphne Millbrook, portrayed by Brea Grant, is a thief with the power of superhuman speed. She can move herself at speeds fast enough to just barely outrun a nuclear explosion, and can extend her ability to those she is in contact with. When coupled with an ability such as power amplification, she can move fast enough to travel back in time. She becomes acquainted with Hiro Nakamura, who refers to her as "nemesis," after stealing his half of a chemical formula that gives ordinary people super powers. She works for the Pinehearst Company under the direction of Maury Parkman (who appears to her as Mr. Linderman), charged with recruiting members. One of the people she is to recruit is Matt Parkman, whom she is married to in "I Am Become Death". Parkman, having seen this future, tries to convince her to quit instead, since it will eventually get her killed. She sees that he is actually a good person and reveals to Parkman that although she is very conflicted about her work and the people she works for, she doesn't have a choice. In "It's Coming", she tells Matt she loves him and defects to Primatech. In "The Eclipse", it is revealed that Daphne suffers from cerebral palsy and relied on crutches and braces to walk before gaining her powers.
Jesse Murphy
Jesse Murphy, portrayed by Francis Capra, is a former prisoner of Level Five with the ability to produce powerful sonic waves with his voice. According to executive producer Greg Beeman, Jesse's power was originally "Earthquake-stomp", but was changed due to budget constraints.[21] He is described by Knox as having no friends. He and Knox were captured by Noah Bennet and the Haitian after the two used their powers in an attempt to take over a neighborhood.
Years later, an alternate, future version of Peter Petrelli puts the present-day Peter in Jesse's body to keep him safe. However, present-day Peter is forced to leave with the other Level Five prisoners when Elle Bishop accidentally releases them. Peter accompanies a group of them on a bank robbery to make sure that no innocents are hurt. However, Knox figures out the truth and attacks, causing Peter to trigger Jesse's ability. Before Peter can stop the villains, though, the future Peter releases him and takes him to the future. Jesse, now free, attempts to kill Noah Bennet with Flint and Knox, but Sylar incapacitates them and takes Jesse's power, killing him.
Tracy Strauss
Tracy Strauss, portrayed by Ali Larter, has the ability freeze anything that she touches. Introduced in the third season, she is an adviser to the governor of New York who recruits Nathan Petrelli as a senator. She is the triplet sister of Niki Sanders and Barbara, all three having been genetically modified by Dr. Zimmerman and separated at birth. According to writers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite, Niki was written out of the series and replaced with Tracy so that Larter could play a different role, as they realized that they could not go further with the character. The change also allowed them to tell an origin story, where the character discovers that she has powers.[22]
Tracy has no knowledge of her origins and ability until Nathan mistakes her for Niki and a reporter shows her evidence of Niki's sexual endeavors. Her emotional reaction to the reporter causes her to inadvertently freeze and kill him. Tracy eventually visits Niki's funeral in New Orleans. There, she meets Niki's orphaned son, Micah Sanders, who helps her discover that she and Niki were born on the same day to the same mother, Kelly Sullivan, and delivered by the same doctor, Dr. Zimmerman. After visiting Dr. Zimmerman, who tells her that there is no way to remove her ability, Tracy returns to New York where she tries to commit suicide, only to be saved by Nathan. The two visit Angela Petrelli, where they learn more about the Company's experiments, and Mohinder Suresh, who captures them as part of his experimental research. In "Eris Quod Sum", Tracy meets Meredith Gordon, Nathan's ex-girlfriend, and Noah Bennet when they arrive at Mohinder's lab, and learns about the relationships all three of them have with Claire Bennet. Meredith assumes that Nathan and Tracy are dating, but Tracy says otherwise. Tracy and Claire meet face-to-face when Peter Petrelli is being cared for, and Claire mentions Pinehearst, which Tracy has done work for in the past. In "It's Coming", Tracy accompanies Nathan to Pinehearst, and watches as he confronts his father. As they leave the building, Nathan tells Tracy to return to Washington to cover for him while he heads to Primatech. After he leaves, Tracy goes back into Pinehearst and tells Arthur that she thinks she can get Nathan to side with him. Nathan eventually comes around and Tracy introduces him to the team of Marines they intend to use the formula. In the finale, "Dual", she saves Nathan's life by freezing Knox as he attempts to spear Nathan with his fist. She tells him that they can get the formula and start over, but Nathan fires her. She tries to take the formula from the safe in Arthur's office, but Hiro and Daphne steal it from her. She is last seen picking up Mohinder, cured of his mutations by the completed formula, as he stumbles along the side of the road.
Daniel Pine
Daniel Pine, portrayed by Franc Ross, is a Vietnam veteran with the ability to transform parts of his body into metal. He is introduced in "Villains", being captured by Agent Thompson and Meredith Gordon as the latter's first assignment in the Company. He is placed in Level Five, but escapes when Elle Bishop accidentally sets all the Level Five prisoners free. From there, he returns to his old home, and ends up killing his ex-wife. He is then recaptured by Meredith and Noah Bennet.
When Sylar later puts the Company facility into lockdown, Noah releases Pine and the other recaptured prisoners, offering them freedom if they can kill Sylar. Pine is subsequently killed by Sylar, his twitching severed arm found in a corridor by Meredith.
Usutu
Usutu, portrayed by Ntare Mwine, makes himself known to Matt after he is teleported to Africa by the future Peter Petrelli. He had painted an image of the earth exploding on a nearby rock. This image appears several times in the episodes "The Second Coming" and "The Butterfly Effect", painted on various objects in various places. He also seems to have an extensive knowledge of Matt's life, having painted the major events of Matt's story arc in Volume One when he was just a child. Like the precognition demonstrated by Isaac Mendez, this skill can be activated at will, though Usutu prefers to listen to music while he works. In a discussion with Parkman, Usutu reveals that he is aware of various changes in the timeline, specifically events that change his earlier predictions. As Hiro finishes his own spirit journey, Usutu is decapitated by Arthur Petrelli, but appears in Suresh's Loft with Ando, Hiro, Matt, and Daphne in "Dual".
After his death, Matt Parkman experiences as of yet unexplained visions of Usutu in "It's Coming" and "Dual", although they do not speak to him, and he is unaware that Usutu is dead.
In addition to his powers, Usutu is able to make a traditional food paste from tree roots and hyena dung which temporarily allows others to engage in a "spirit journey." In practice, this spirit journey roughly translates into a series of precognitive visions of future events or postcognitive visions of significant past events that are personally relevant to whomever consumes the paste. It is unknown whether or not this works on everyone. What is clear is that this paste has worked on two other characters with powers, though their powers did not involve precognition.

Four months later he began a new life with the surname 'Butler', along with the rest of the family.[25] Lyle's actual parentage has been questioned, after isolated instances of him being referred to as adopted; upon being questioned about it, one of the creators declined to answer directly, instead saying "for now, consider Lyle's true parentage undetermined."

Sylar tries to murder her, but she is saved by Mr. Bennet and the Haitian.[27] They also, once again, erase her memory of the event, which becomes evident to Claire when Sandra does not recall allowing her to skip school.

She complains of headaches and sees a neurologist. She collapses and is taken to the hospital, where she is diagnosed with a subdural hematoma.[28] Upon her return to the house, she is held hostage with the rest of her family by Matt Parkman and Ted Sprague, and witnesses her daughter's regenerative powers.
After the hostage stand-off, she and her family stay at a hotel. She reveals to Bennet that he had told her everything the previous day, including what happened to Claire. Under her husband's orders, she only pretends that she has lost her memory. However, the illusion-casting Candice Wilmer impersonated her shortly afterwards in order to trick Mr. Bennet into revealing that he'd sent Claire away, and it is not clear at which point the impersonation actually began.[29]
She wasn't seen again until "Four Months Laterโฆ", in which she has begun a new life with the surname 'Butler', along with the rest of the family.
In the alternate future portrayed in the episode "Five Years Gone", it is revealed that she leaves Mr. Bennet. Claire also used the name "Sandra" as an alias in this episode.

Though it was originally intended for Zach to be gay, Dekkerโs manager "didnโt want him to be playing a gay character" for career reasons, and his storyline was later changed.[36][37][38] As producer Bryan Fuller detailed,
[W]e were definitely going down a route of making him the gay character and having him have a big role in [Claire's] life and sort of teaching her to come out about her ability and embrace herself and actually using the coming out metaphor and the gay metaphor in that instance as a fun piece of storytelling. There was an unfortunate miscommunication and when the script arrived that had the line in it, 'I would take you to homecoming but you have to know that I don't like girls that way.' The actor [Thomas Dekker]'s, manager threatened to pull him from the show because he was up for the John Connor role in The Sarah Connor Chronicles and she didn't want him playing a gay character because it might affect Fox's interest in hiring him. It got really ugly.[39]

She was shot and killed by Arthur despite Daniel's efforts to stop him. This event, and those leading up to it, eventually resulted in a close bond between Linderman and Petrelli.
Leonard Cushing
Leonard Cushing is an agent of the Company who can secrete a highly potent corrosive from his hands. Cushing is Eric Thompson's partner until one mission where they are trying to find Evs Dropper. Thompson finds Cushing in a room with a fellow agent's dead, acid-burnt body. Thompson believes that Cushing is responsible. However, when Cushing is about to reveal something about Evs Dropper, Devin Patterson comes in and shoots him. With his final breath, he warns Thompson that Evs Dropper is always watching.

The Company sends agents to deal with them, but the trio kills them. Sylar, who had been doing surveillance, intervenes, and kills Dennis.
Richard Drucker
Richard Drucker was an evolved human recorded by the Company. He is described in Evolutions as having hatred towards the founding members of the Company. He also attended college with Charles Deveaux, and they were friends before the start of the Company. They were both associated with an unidentified group, described as "like-minded individuals", but Drucker left the group in 1977 and moved to Bangalore. His physical body was destroyed in Bangalore in a plane crash. He is a distant relative of Hana Gitelman. The Company has extensive information on Drucker in its files.[48][49]
He continued to exist within computers, like Hana, until they were both deleted while trapped in the Company's mainframe.
Julien Dumont
Julien Dumont was an agent of the company supposedly monitoring a bag and tag mission of several of his duplicates who had gone rogue in Antarctica, Australia and the Congo (though a holding room filled with more indicates that there were even more). While the duplicates in Antarctica and Australia are captured, the third jumps from a cliff and dies. When his partner and girlfriend, Sabine Hazel, reports back, Julien says he can still sense the third one alive, making her suspicious.
Following a tip from someone known only as Evs Dropper, Sabine realizes that the Julien she knows is really another duplicate, and demands to know what's happened to the real Julien. The duplicate claims that she's never met the real Julien, it's been him all along. Infuriated, she kills the duplicate and takes his keycard, using to access a Company holding cell where she finds the original Julien, kept in a coma and hooked up to machinery that activates his cloning powers involuntarily. The Company had been using him as an agent factory for years, producing an endless supply of clones to recruit while keeping the original alive and protected, as it is believed that if he dies, all his clones would die as well. Sabine proceeds to disconnect and extract Julien, even understanding he's not the Julien she loved, and the two flee from the Company. They are rescued by another Julien, who takes them to a safe house where Sabine finally meets Evs Dropper in person.
She is told by Evs (Connie Logan) that they were married and that Penny is their daughter. Gael asked for Julien to be tested but tells her he was killed two years later. At the end of the battle, Bianca shoots Julien to kill the oncoming clones.

After receiving a mysterious warning from someone known as Evs Dropper, she left and stayed at her apartment. She later found out she was being watched by Thompson and Elle Bishop. As she tried to escape, she was stunned by Elle and taken into captivity. She is taken to the Company infirmary where she recovers next to Noah. Bob sees her exposure to Bennett as a risk and orders her memory of that day erased with hopes of later convincing her to help The Company. Evs Dropper reveals the erased events to her as proof of what was done and convinces her to fight against the Company. She is trained by Felicia Brooks and sees a picture of her death painted by Isaac Mendez. She becomes suspicious of Evs and renounces her allegiance, uncovering the truth of Cushing's murder in the process. She and Eric capture a rogue Julien clone and soon after try to stop an escaping Sabine and Julien. She and Eric are later dispatched to recapture Brenden Lewis, but both are knocked out and the support must capture him. She is interrogated by Gael later on, who thinks she is still working with Evs so she escapes with Eric (with Bianca's help) to a hotel where she is incapacitated and replaced by Penny Logan. She is captured by Connie, who nails her feet to a board and binds and gags her to a chair strapped with enough explosives to destroy a metal bridge. Eric tries to save her, but she pushes him over and falls into the painting's position as the bomb detonates.
Evan
During the Revolutionary War, Adam Monroe, working as a mercenary for the British Empire, learned of a man who destroyed an entire town single-handedly, and claimed he could not be killed. Adam initially assumed the man had the same regenerative ability as he did, but upon meeting this man, Evan, Adam killed him on the spot. His crew was immediately attacked by an unseen army, and Adam soon found himself fighting another Evan... and another, and another. It turned out Evan had the ability to duplicate himself, effectively making him a one-man army. Adam attempted to track down and kill the original Evan, believing this would stop all the duplicates; however, this proved futile when he found that the duplicates can also duplicate themselves, and Adam was hopelessly outmatched.

The effect only lasts 24 hours, and she could not change her own appearance. She often worked with her non-powered daughter, Penny Logan.
The graphic novel Into the Wild reveals that she is the mysterious "Evs Dropper", and is working to bring down the Company alongside an army of Julien Dumont clones.

After demonstrating his ability at a talent show, he encountered Elle and was taken to the Company, where he was subjected to painful experiments. Later, Elle told him that this was for his own protection, and that he and she want the same things.

In Evs Dropper's blog, he questioned the intentions of tracking agents (Bianca Karina), helped Ahlrich Dekker identify Calgary, helped crack a code as a training exercise and commented on Connie Logan's identification as Evs Dropper.
Linda Tavara
Linda Tavara had the ability to see and absorb the auras of other people by touching them. Her hand glowed with a blue light when she did this. If she absorbed the life force of another evolved human, she also gained their power.
Linda first discovered her ability in her teens, during the 1960s. It is implied that her parents knew of it too, and fearfully took measures to keep her isolated. Despite this, Linda was enthralled by her power, and went out into the city to fully experience it. After some time, she spotted Ida Walker, an elderly woman whose aura glowed brighter than most people's. Though she seemed to understand right and wrong, she continually felt to urge to steal life forces. Thus, she absorbs Walker's aura and obtained the woman's ability to see the dead.
In her adulthood, she worked as a private investigator and possibly bounty hunter. However, she would routinely continue stealing the life forces of powered people, even if she was assigned to bring them to authorities. This led to suspicions from others, and these misgivings force her employer to fire her. Afterward, she is approached by a mysterious woman who hires her to locate certain individuals for her, all implied to have powers. After turning in two such people, Linda is tasked to find a man named Jason Welkes, but she instead absorbs his life force and disposes of the body. When asked, she repeated her previous habit of claiming she was unable to find the person. This leads the informant to question her competence, and threaten to take away her next assignment. In response, Linda absorbed the informant's life force, and stole a notepad regarding the next targets, which included Daniel Linderman and Arthur Petrelli.
Linda introduced herself to Linderman at a gas station, and he traveled with her while she gains his trust. After Linderman demonstrated to her his ability to heal others, Linda attempted to absorb his power. However, Linderman killed her with a stick before she successfully did so.
She was originally seen on Chandra Suresh's list.

Traveler informs him that his message is from Hana Gitelman, to whom Drucker is related.
