As hinted by Emma's mother, Dr. Coolidge, the death of her nephew Christopher caused Emma to put her biomedicine degree aside and prefer to file patient data at the hospital instead. This event causes enough pain that it triggers Emma's ability to evolve into a sound blast. She even feels displeased when someone mentions for her to leave the file room (''[[Hysterical Blindness (Heroes)|Hysterical Blindness]]''). Emma confirms this to Peter while playing the hospital piano; Emma blames herself of his death because she was babysitting him that day but couldn't hear Christopher asking for help while drowning in the pool. Ultimately she overcomes her guilt after saving Megan's life (''[[Shadowboxing (Heroes)|Shadowboxing]]''). |

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, with scenes involving her in the third season cut.
For the fourth season, a new character Samuel Sullivan (portrayed by Robert Knepper) has been added. Originally cast as a recurring part, the part has been changed to a starring role.[1]
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 One
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.[5] 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 and aneurism 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; as a result, Charlie still goes to work on the day of her murder.[6]
Charlie and Hiro's relationship is the subject of the novel Heroes: Saving Charlie.
In season 4 episode "Tabula Rasa", Hiro travels back in time to attempt to save Charlie again. In "Once Upon a Time in Texas", Hiro both saves her from Sylar and persuades him to remove the blood clot in her brain. Just as things seem to be going well, Samuel has Arnold trap her somewhere in time and reveals that he will only tell Hiro how to find her if he does what he says.
Charles Deveaux
Charles Deveaux, portrayed by Richard Roundtree, is the wealthy father of Simone Deveaux, and 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.[7] At the beginning of the series, he is under Peter Petrelli's care due to his failing health, and he has recently lapsed into a coma. 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.[7] In "Nothing to Hide", Charles and Peter telepathically share a dream in which they fly. After he awakens, he tells Simone about the dream and dies soon after. It is revealed in the episode "1961" that he possessed the power of telepathy, though the writers have hinted that Arthur Petrelli later steals this ability.[8]
Hana Gitelman
Hana Gitelman (Hebrew: ืื ื ืืืืืื) is introduced in a four-part arc of the Heroes graphic novels. She made small, on-screen appearances in the series (played by Stana Katic) during "Unexpected" and "Five Years Gone", but has primarily featured in supplemental material. Her surname is misspelled as "Gittelman" in some of the graphic novels.
Hana has the ability to act as a living electronic transmitter and receiver, capable of intercepting and interpreting virtually any form of electronic signal and transmitting coherent signals of any type through thought alone. E-mail, text messages, and phone calls are all simple for her to receive and reproduce if necessary. Her range is implied to be around thirty feet at the time of her first spy mission. Her powers were awakened by mental and physical tests combined with repeated use of unknown drugs, sponsored by Mr. Bennet.
In "Unexpected", Hana finds Ted Sprague in Nevada and explains that the marks on their necks are from insertion of tracking devices. She convinces him and Matt Parkman to seek revenge on the perpetrators (The Company). In "Five Years Gone", in an alternate reality in which New York City is destroyed by a nuclear explosion, Hana is working with Mr. Bennet, and is killed by Matt Parkman.[9]
Aside from her superhuman abilities, Hana's time as a soldier has rendered her capable of handling most types of firearms with ease and skilled in the art of hand-to-hand combat. She was also an Army Intelligence officer in the Mossad for some time, and is well-trained in espionage and tactical planning. Hana primarily travels using her personal motorcycle, as first seen in Wireless part 4.
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 were separated after she accidentally burned down her father's house with their father inside it, though after years of effort Meredith tracked down and reunited with him. She eventually began a relationship with Nathan Petrelli, and the two conceived a baby, Claire. Meredith was later attacked by Company Agents Noah Bennet and Claude Rains, and her powers created a large explosion that consumed the building. The Company was led to believe that Meredith perished, while Meredith herself believed Claire had died. Years later, Meredith was captured by Thompson while robbing a convenience store with Flint. Rather than be a prisoner for the rest of her life, she agreed to train to become an agent. However, after she learned that Flint was also captured and was to become an agent, she felt that the Company was just using the two of them, and broke Flint out. The siblings were separated after Thompson tracked them down, and she was recaptured. However, Thompson lets her go after learning that Claire was her daughter.
Claire manages to track her down after many years, though the two only meet briefly before separating. Meredith blackmails Claire's biological father, Nathan Petrelli, for $100,000 before leaving, and hides his identity from Claire. She later returns at the request of Noah to help protect Claire from the escaped Level Five villains. She helps Claire to admit that, contrary to her claims that she wants to be trained so that she can help people, she actually wants to learn how to fight so that she can get revenge on Sylar. Meredith later confronts Eric Doyle, with whom she has past connections, believing Claire may have gone there. However, she is rescued by Claire and Sandra Bennet, and later accepts Noah's request to rejoin the Company as his partner. When Sylar later takes over Primatech and holds Meredith, Claire, Noah, and Angela hostage, he injects Meredith with high adrenaline, eliminating her control over her pyrokinetic abilities. She and Noah are then placed in a Level 5 cell, where her lack of control threatens to burn Noah alive. Claire manages to break them free and tries to save Meredith, but Noah pulls her away. They make their escape as Meredith loses total control, destroying the Primatech facility.
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 has the power to enhance other peopleยดs abilities and 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 appears in visions that Mohinder Suresh experiences after returning to India with his father's ashes. After Mohinder finds Sanjog, he explains to Mohinder that he does not enter the dreams of others, but that they instead come to him. Sanjog subsequently appears in several Heroes graphic novels, showing visions of the past to various individuals. 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.[10]
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.
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.[11] He served in the U.S. Army with Arthur Petrelli, whom he ended up healing from the brink of death, in the Vietnam War under the code name "Austin". 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. Then he met Linda Tavara, whom he thought he could trust his secret with, but he ended up killing her in self-defense; Linda's list led him to reunite with Arthur. 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, Linderman returns 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".
In the episode "1961", a younger version of Daniel Linderman appears, played by Casey Kringlen, in a camp for people with abilities.
Eden McCain
Eden McCain, portrayed by Nora Zehetner, is a Company operative with the power of persuasion, 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.
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.[12] 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. It is shown in "Our Father" that Kaito was the one who arranged for Claire's adoption into the Bennet family, and also the one who arranged for the catalyst of the genetic modification formula to be implanted in Claire's body.
He dies after Adam Monroe pushes him off a roof, his death having been predicted by the deceased painter Isaac Mendez. Hiro later goes back in time in an attempt to revert his father's death, but Kaito is resigned to his fate, telling Hiro that they cannot use their abilities to play God. Convinced, Hiro lets the murder transpire, but uses the opportunity to find out the identity of the murderer.
Claude Rains
Claude Rains, portrayed by Christopher Eccleston, is a former employee of the Company. His real name is unknown, as he went by the aforementioned alias while working for the Company.[13] A posthuman, he 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. However, Noah and the Haitian track him and Peter down, and almost capture them. Though Peter manages to get him to safety, Claude refuses to help him anymore and flees to London.
However, he is later tracked down by Elle Bishop, who needs help controlling her power. He helps her figure out her problem is based on her anger and resentment towards her late father, Bob. He and his friends, Abigail and Lee, are eventually attacked by HLS's agents in their home, but Rebel's team arrives to help them, saving Abigail but leaving Claude and Lee behind while the building collapses. They are later rescued by Abigail, Micah Sanders, and Molly Walker from a posthuman-prison train leaving Pittsburg. He agrees to take Molly to safety while the "Rebellion" team goes to Washington D.C. to save Monica.
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. First arrested under the assumption that he is Sylar, he later escapes prison. He eventually comes to believe that the Company is responsible for giving him his power, so he seeks to get revenge. He teams up with Matt Parkman and Noah Bennet to take down the Company, and they go to New York. However, Sylar reports Ted's whereabouts to the FBI, and Ted is taken into custody. Sylar later tracks down the van transporting him and attacks it, slices Ted's skull open and acquires his ability.
Zane Taylor
Zane Taylor, portrayed by Ethan Cohn, is the first person to respond to Mohinder's calls when Mohinder resumes his father's research. Zane leaves a phone message on Mohinder's answering machine, inviting him to Virginia Beach to talk; however, Sylar arrives first and impersonates Mohinder. After an anxious Zane displays his ability to liquefy objects, Sylar kills him. When Mohinder arrives later on, Sylar impersonates Zane and demonstrates Zane's power to liquefy the toaster instantly. According to the article reporting his death, Zane is a musician; he is even seen wearing a Ramones t-shirt, which Sylar then wears while impersonating him.
Molly Walker
Candice Wilmer
Candice Wilmer, portrayed by Missy Peregrym, is an agent of the Company, who has the ability to create illusions, and a minor antagonist in "Genesis" and "Generations". 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 constantly maintains the illusion that she is thin. She is originally paired with Noah Bennet, and is seen using her powers to taunt multiple characters. After Noah's betrayal of the Company is revealed at Candice's hands, however, she is seen operating on her own. She aides Mr. Linderman in the kidnapping of Micah Sanders in ".07%", and watches after Micah in "Landslide". In "How to Stop an Exploding Man", Candice is confronted and knocked out by Niki Sanders who, with D.L., came to New York for Micah.
Because the persona of Candice became too well known, she takes on the form of Michelle, portrayed by Rachel Kimsey, in the second season. On Company orders, she took the wounded Sylar to a remote area in South America, and cares for him there until she is eventually killed by him.
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/52/Niki_-_Candice.jpg/250px-Niki_-_Candice.jpg)
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 Two
Bob Bishop
Robert Bishop, portrayed by Stephen Tobolowsky, has the ability of alchemy, allowing him to change the atomic properties of objects into materials such as gold. This can also be used as an offensive weapon, as seen when he turns a man's arm into gold, not only rendering it useless, but also causing great pain as well. 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. It is revealed in "1961" that he met Angela Petrelli, Daniel Linderman, and Charles Deveaux, while a "prisoner" at Coyote Sands.
Alejandro Herrera
Alejandro Herrera, portrayed by Shalim Ortiz, is the twin 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, killing him.
Victoria Pratt
Victoria Pratt, portrayed by Joanna Cassidy and Jaime Ray Newman, was a founding member of the Company and biological engineer. In 1977, she met Shanti Suresh and began to do research on the Shanti virus. On Company orders, she experimented on the virus, and weaponized it, creating Strain 138, which is capable of killing 93% of the world's population, including both humans and posthumans. When Monroe attempted to steal the strain, Pratt insisted that the program on the virus be stopped, and the strain destroyed. Kaito Nakamura and the other founders did not agree and locked the virus away at Primatech Paper in Odessa, Texas. Pratt was not happy about the decision.
In the present, Matt Parkman begins to investigate the remaining Company founders. After discovering that most of them are dead, he uses his abilities on Angela to persuade her to give him information on who Pratt is. Angela resists, stating that Pratt was in hiding and wanted to be left alone. Matt is however able to get her name. Pratt is discovered in the present, hiding in Maine, by Adam Monroe and Peter Petrelli. Fearing that she will be the next to die after hearing about the death of Kaito, she attempts to kill Monroe to no avail. After Peter uses his telepathy to find out where Strain 138 is hidden, Monroe and Petrelli attempt to release Pratt and set her free. However, after she attempts to shoot Peter in the head, Monroe kills her and leaves a death-threat photo on her body.
West Rosen
West Rosen, portrayed by Nicholas D'Agosto, has the ability to fly. He was abducted by Mr. Bennet and the Haitian for examination prior to the start of the series, though he tried to escape. He saw 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. He uses his ability to spy on Claire through her window, and eventually sees her regrowing a toe. When Claire discovers this, he shows her that he can fly. They share a kiss at the beach and start going out. When West later finds out that Claire's father is the man who abducted him, he thinks that she has been working with Noah, though Noah later tells him the truth. Later, West helps in rescuing Claire from Bob Bishop. When Noah is killed in the altercation, Claire decides to go public with her powers and expects West to help her. When West refuses to, telling her that he likes having his secrets, Claire breaks up with him.
In the "Rebellion" graphic novels, West is recruited by Micah Sanders and Sparrow Redhouse into the anti-government force known as "Rebel". Together they save and recruit Abigail in London, and the team starts fighting HLS's agents and finding the captured posthumans.
As of the Heroes web novel contuinity, in "The Scenic Route" West is seen again cajoling Bennet to help him aid Alex. Bennet agrees, the two rescue Alex and then Bennet advises Claire's two ex-boyfriends to stay in hiding.
After helping Sparrow to derail a posthuman-prison train, the "Rebellion" team follow the direction Molly gave to find Monica in Washington D.C., but at the cost of losing Micah to Sylar.
In "Ice Queen, Part 1", Micah states that he has already reunited with Monica and the "Rebellion" team before the beginning of Redemption.
Introduced in Season Three
Bridget Bailey
Bridget Bailey, portrayed by Tehmina Sunny, has the ability of psychometry, 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.
Luke Campbell
Luke Campbell, portrayed by Dan Byrd, is a teenage boy with the ability to project microwave beams from his hands. The effects of his power vary from object to object. He is able to melt a figurine, boil liquid from a distance without damaging the mug, and burn a person to death from the inside out. After he and his mother are captured by Sylar, he finds himself sympathizing with the killer and ultimately abandons his old life to follow him and become his apprentice. He has information on the current whereabouts of Sylar's father, so Sylar reluctantly allows Luke to accompany him. When they stop in a diner, the Hunter's men arrive and take Luke while Sylar escapes, but he returns to get a laptop with information about their operations and in the process rescues Luke. After the rescue, Sylar takes Luke to the diner where he witnessed his mother's murder. Sylar then turns on Luke and forces him to leave and go back home.
Eric Doyle
Eric Doyle, portrayed by David H. Lawrence XVII, has the ability of "puppet mastery", which allows him to control the actions of others by manipulating them like a puppeteer. In the webseries "Nowhere Man" he displays control over inanimate objects by closing a door without touching it. He is initially captured by the Company after causing people to seemingly 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 for Meredith Gordon, which are renewed after she goes to him fearing that Claire is going to attempt to capture him. Doyle is eventually 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.
In "Puppet With No Strings" Doyle is revealed to have survived the Primatech disaster, and being around by manipulating anyone in his way, although he realizes the evil he does while looking his victim's faces; that's when he gets a message from "Rebel" that he can be good. He decides to return to his theater, but there he is ambushed by Danko, Rachel Mills and other agents. After beating him, he is left to die while the theater burns down until Rachel teleports in and saves him by order of Rebel, and gives him her phone. After the agents are gone, Doyle receives the message from Rebel that Claire will save him.
At the end of "Exposed", he appears in the Bennet kitchen confronting Claire. He claims to want a normal, regular life and leaves Claire after she refuses to help him. He is soon chased by the two agents, undercover Rachel Mills and partner, that were also chasing Claire; Claire comes in (after an admonition from "Rebel") and helps Doyle escape. After Doyle is out of harm's way, Claire removes his old identity and gives him a new life. Claire asks him if he was telling the truth about changing his ways, and he smirks and walks away. However, he is later captured by Sylar and given to Danko as a "gift".
In "Exodus", he is rescued by a recent fugitive Rachel Mills and escapes with the help of Gordon Hovey who protects him from bullets.
Doyle is the main character of the Heroes webseries "Nowhere Man," which takes place sometime between the events of the TV series episodes "Shades of Gray" and "Cold Snap;" with the new identity he received from Claire, Doyle attempts to adjust to regular life, including a job at Copy Kingdom where Noah Bennet worked in Volume Two "Generations." Mr. Bennet's former boss is seen tormenting Doyle, who has fallen for a beautiful co-worker, and Doyle finds it increasingly hard to resist using his puppeteering powers.
Doyle is seen in "The Fifth Stage" reuniting with Claire Bennet, telling her about how his new life didn't work out well until Samuel took him into the Carnival, where he found he belonged. Doyle catches her going into Samuel's trailer and ambushes her, demanding answers, and accuses Claire of being a spy for Noah, but finally lets her go and tells her to talk to Lydia about Samuel.
The German
The German, portrayed by Ken Lally, has the ability of magnetism manipulation, allowing him to control ferrous objects and materials. He is originally introduced in the graphic novel "Berlin, Part 1", where he is captured by the Company. He subsequently escapes Level 5 in "The Butterfly Effect" along with a dozen other prisoners, and joins a group of them in robbing a bank. In "One of Us, One of Them", he is killed by Knox after disagreeing with his plan.
He is seen in a picture at Dr. Zimmerman's home along with Barbara, Niki and Tracy's sister.
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 5. 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.
In "Rebellion, Part 1: Rebel Yell", which takes place during the "A Clear and Present Danger" events, a person accredited as "Gordon, F." is listed among those prisoners being transported in the HLS's Flight 195. In "Rebellion, Part 2: Providence In The Fall Of Sparrow", a posthuman with similar appearance of Flint was shot in the head by a sniper after attempting to help the agents hunt down others like him (Micah and Sparrow) in exchange for his life.
Samson Gray
Samson Gray, portrayed by John Glover, is the biological father of Sylar (Gabriel Gray). Like his son, he possesses the ability of intuitive aptitude, allowing him to steal the abilities of other super-powered humans. He is responsible for the death of Gabriel's mother back in 1980. Appearing in "Shades of Gray', he is old and dying of terminal cancer, hiding from Nathan's agents in an old trailer in the woods of Newark, New Jersey. He apparently was a friend to Luke Campbell, going bird-watching with Luke despite his own jaded and pessimistic nature. Still practicing taxidermy in his old age, he realizes that he and his son have the same ability and tries to tell his son how to use his life for something worthwhile, not the repetitive and boring task of collecting abilities from "helpless" prey. He demonstrates several abilities while talking to Gabriel, namely telekinesis and induced sedation (expressed through whistling), restraining Gabriel when Samson realizes he can heal himself. Desperate to escape death, he attempts to steal Gabriel's ability of rapid cellular regeneration, but Gabriel fools his father, restraining him with his own oxygen tube and leaving him to die of his cancer, alone and helpless like his old victims.
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 in "Villains" 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] it was later released as the webseries Hard Knox. He is initially a Level 5 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. 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.
James Martin
James Martin possesses the ability to shapeshift into the form of anyone he touches. He is responsible for killing three of Danko's agents who were hunting him. Using his ability, he makes his way into Danko's office to touch him in order to "borrow" his form. He escapes Danko and his forces by shifting into another man and fleeing. Eventually, he is tracked down to a nightclub by Danko and Sylar. He takes on Sylar's appearance, but is shot by Danko. His ability is then acquired by Sylar, dying while still in Sylar's form. Later, his body (still in Sylar's form) is cremated after Matt compels Sylar to believe that he is the now-deceased Nathan, in order to give the impression to the other Heroes that Sylar is dead.
Daphne Millbrook
Daphne Millbrook, portrayed by Brea Grant, is a thief with the power of enhanced speed. She can move herself at speeds fast enough to just barely outrun a nuclear explosion, move fast enough to be at normal speed when Hiro Nakumura slows down time to the point where time appears to have stopped and can extend her ability to those she is in contact with. She suffers from cerebral palsy, and relied on crutches and braces to walk before gaining her powers. She first becomes acquainted with Hiro Nakamura, who refers to her as "nemesis", after she steals 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, to whom she is married 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, becoming one of the Heroes. She subsequently helps in retrieving Isaac Mendez's sketchbook of prophetic drawings, and in obtaining a sample of the formula to grant Ando an ability. She then couples her speed with Ando's power amplification to travel back in time to rescue the stranded Hiro, and afterward takes Hiro to Pinehearst to steal back the formula. In "Trust and Blood", she tries to save Hiro and Matt, but she is badly wounded when shot by government agents. She survives and is taken to a medical facility where she is tranquilized and medically treated. Upon being "saved" by Tracy Strauss, Matt takes Daphne to a hospital in which she is treated for sepsis. He projects an image of her having a storybook ending complete with a trip to Paris, but she eventually tells Matt to "let her go". Matt, having also made himself fly in her dream, then flies with Daphne to the moon while the trail in the sky becomes a steady line on a heart monitor. Matt and Mohinder are then shown standing next to Daphne's bedside, where she has died.
Jesse Murphy
Jesse Murphy, portrayed by Francis Capra, is a former prisoner of Level 5 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 5 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. It was hinted in a previous episode that Jesse may have the power to 'destroy us all', as Noah is looking at his file along with Knox's, Flint's and 'The German's'.
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,[22] 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. Then she dies but not before telling Hiro that she is very proud of him.
Matt Parkman, Jr.
Matt Parkman, Jr. is the infant son of Matt Parkman and his ex-wife Janice Parkman, and the grandson of Maury Parkman. He has the ability to activate and deactivate objects, whether they are electronic, mechanical, or even human, earning him the nickname "Baby Touch-And-Go" from Hiro. He is first mentioned in the episode "Five Years Gone", his father working to capture other posthumans in exchange for the protection of him.[23] Matt Parkman, Jr. later appears in the main timeline, living in California with his mother. He is able to turn on and operate a television that had been unplugged, operate several mechanical toys, and even partially restore Hiro Nakamura's time manipulation ability through his touch, though when he is very happy or sad, his ability activates remotely. When his mother is apprehended by government agents, he is rescued by Hiro and Ando. They take him to his father, who in turn returns him to Janice.
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 โgreat lengthsโ to protect Claire. He has the power to take the abilities of other posthumans through physical contact. Once he takes an ability, he cannot return it.[24] The known powers he has taken are telepathy from an unknown source, though hinted at being Charles Deveaux;[8] the regenerative abilities of Adam Monroe; Peterโs empathic mimicry and the powers he absorbed as a result, including the Haitianโs mental manipulation;[25] Maya Herrera's poison emission; and Hiro Nakamura's time manipulation. Arthurโs range of powers is such that he can overload the Haitianโs dampening powers after a short period, though not without significant effort.
Arthur fought in the Vietnam War under the code name โDallasโ alongside Linderman. After the war, Petrelli and Linderman โwere brought togetherโ 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 Nathanโs life. He secretly survived, but was left paralyzed due to nerve damage from the poison.
He is the primary antagonist of the third volume, โVillains,โ where he is first revealed to be alive. He is in charge of the Pinehearst Company, recruiting various posthumans 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 Arthurโs paralysis and killing Adam. He is shown to be ruthless in this endeavor, killing any who oppose him. For example, he snaps Maury Parkmanโs neck without hesitation when he protests the order to kill Matt. Arthur is killed during a confrontation with Sylar, Peter, and the Haitian in โOur Father.โ As the Haitian suppresses Arthurโs 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 Arthurโs head, killing him.[26]
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 5, but escapes when Elle Bishop accidentally sets all the Level 5 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.
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.[25] He 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. 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. He later confronts them after regaining his ability, but is mind-wiped by the Haitian.
Scott
Scott, portrayed by Chad Faust, is a Marine recruited by the Pinehearst Company. Wanting to be more than human so that he can make up for his fellow Marines that died, he is the first person to try the newly-perfected formula, which grants him the ability of enhanced strength. However, as he is about to go stop Flint Gordon and Peter Petrelli from destroying the lab and the formula in "Dual", his neck is snapped by Knox.
Alice Shaw
Alice Shaw, played by Laura Marano in flashbacks and by Diana Scarwid in the present, is the estranged younger sister of Angela Petrelli, the aunt of Nathan Petrelli and Peter Petrelli, and the great-aunt of Claire Bennet. She has the ability of weather manipulation. Her powers are seemingly linked to her emotions as she is able to summon gale force winds when frightened, or generate lightning bolts or hailstones when angered. She first appears in the flashback in episode "1961". She along with Angela (whom she nicknamed Banana) were sent to the Coyote Sands Reservation by their parents. It was there that after months of observation, she was eventually abandoned by Angela and the future members of the Company. She appears in the present having survived the massacre at Coyote Sands, opting to stay on the reservation to protect humanity from herself. However, once Angela reveals the truth, she retaliates by controlling the lightning and shooting it at Angela, Mohinder, and Peter. Angela tries to calm her down but she runs away.
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, which is also why Hiro refers to him as Mr. African Isaac, 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 walk." In practice, this spirit walk 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. Usutu freely shares the paste with Matt Parkman and Hiro Nakamura, despite being a family tradition, and the two lapse into trances shortly thereafter.
He later appears to Matt, telling him that he is becoming a prophet like himself. Matt then could draw the future in the same manner as Usutu and Isaac Mendez when their eyes go blank.
Alex Woolsley
Alex Woolsley, portrayed by Justin Baldoni, is an employee at Sam's Comic Book Shop with the ability to breathe underwater. He first discovered his ability while on his high school's swim team. He is rescued by Claire Bennet on orders of the mysterious Rebel, and secretly took up residence within the Bennet household. Eventually Claire's mother finds out about his hiding in their house and she helps him change his identity to protect him. During his stay at the Bennet household, Claire and him develop a mutual romantic interest, culminating in a kiss while they hide from government agents underwater in a pool (thus also allowing Alex to transfer air to her thanks to his ability, removing the need for them to surface to breathe). In the graphic novel "The Scenic Route", he is rescued again, this time by Noah Bennet and Claire's ex-boyfriend West Rosen, and both boys are advised to lay low.
Introduced in Season Four
Arnold
Arnold, portrayed by Jack Wallace, has the ability of space-time manipulation. Introduced in "Orientation", he is shown as member of the "Sullivan Bros. Carnival", and as any member, is considered family. He is asked by Samuel Sullivan to send him 14 years back in time so he can meet the adult Hiro Nakamura, which he is capable of doing despite his bad health. He is shown as an old and dying man, and it is implied that Samuel intends to replace him with Hiro. In "Once Upon a Time in Texas", Arnold once again sends Samuel back in time to find Hiro; after Hiro saves Charlie from Sylar and her aneurysm, Samuel orders Arnold to take her to the carnival in present and then to hide her somewhere in time away from Hiro so he will stay with them. This final effort killed Arnold. In the graphic Novel "Smoke and Mirrors", an altar is seen in honor of Arnold as the carnies discuss about Samuel forcing Arnold to use his ability without any concern about his health.
In the graphic Novels "Bloodlines", nearly a year prior to Joseph's death, we see a much younger version of Arnold as part of the carnival, being the closest person to Joseph, to whom he refers as "brother". Understanding the danger Samuel represents, Joseph sends young-Arnold to Coyote Sands Relocation Center back in 1961, but he arrives earlier when the center is being built and is taken down by Adam Monroe, which causes Arnold to suffer amnesia. Going by the name Ernie Crum, he lived a new life, getting a family and a history of his own. At the year-prior-present, Joseph worries about the absence of Arnold and asks Samuel and Lydia to find him, but Lydia's tattoo show her the old-Arnold, in his terminal condition wearing a nasal prong. Once there, Joseph helps him remember his former life, understanding his brain tumor made his condition even worse. Arnold asks Joseph to find his son Mel, but Lydia finds out he is already dead, killed by a man named Emile Danko. During the events in the present of "Once Upon a Time in Texas", Arnold states no one deserves the fate Samuel chose for Charlie, and Arnold now remembers his mission back in 1961: he was out to kill baby Samuel by orders of Joseph. He then is suffocated to death by Samuel.
Bowman Family
The Bowman Family consists of Chris Bowman, portrayed by Daryl Crittenden, with his wife Gail and daughter Jenny, who are workers at the "Sullivan Bros. Carnival" as part of the fire-breathing family. The three of them exhibit the ability to breathe fire; Chris and Gail exhibit orange flames, but little Jenny exhibits blue ones (in main series she exhibits orange flames as well). Although seen in background as member of the "family" since "Orientation", they are shown mainly in iStories (Faction Zero and Slow Burn). In "Strange Attractors" (Slow Burn iStory chapter 5) they are told by Samuel Sullivan to show their ability to Tracy so she will feel comfortable at the carnival, but she felt the other way around so they stop. In the graphic novel "Smoke and Mirrors", Amanda watches as the Bowman family practices their fire-breathing act making her want to be a Bowman herself. Chris comes to Gail and discuss about Samuel blackmailing them to stay, although Gail thinks there's nowhere else safe for them. Jennie then "weeps" blue flames. In the webisode Slow Burn Part 10, the Bowmans are seen performing in front of a crowd, featuring Amanda, who recently joined their fire act.
Emma Coolidge
Emma Coolidge, portrayed by Deanne Bray, is a deaf woman working in the same hospital as Peter. Dialogue indicates that she is trained as a physician, but prefers to work archiving patients' data instead of treating them. In the episode "Ink", she discovers that she can perceive sound as a form of colored light; the louder the sound, the more intense and colorful the light appears. Her doctor (who is also her mother) suggests that this is a form of synesthesia (mixed signals from the different senses). At the park, she sees the music a cello player produces, and then starts playing it herself to experience the different tunes, which leads her to produce even more beautiful music than the player did himself. She constantly uses headphones in public to avoid being asked anything, so people will not notice that she is deaf. In the episode "Hysterical Blindness", Emma discovers that she is able to convert sound into physical force after damaging her apartment walls while playing a cello once more; the cello was in a box with the "Sullivan Bros. Carnival" label on it. In "Tabula Rasa", she is afraid of her power and seeks Peter to help her stop it, but ultimately Hiro helps her understand that her ability is a gift, and once she knows what she can do, she can use it to do good things. As Peter and Emma learn that Hiro is dying, Emma makes him promise he will stay in bed, although he constantly tells Emma he feels alive when he uses his ability and he will die with dignity like Charlie intended to do. In "Shadowboxing", Emma is lured to the ER and starts helping victims of a train wreck. After seeing Peter getting weaker everytime he uses his healing power, she suggests him to stop using it, but he refuses to. Later she finds Megan, a girl who collapsed due to a pneumothorax, and practices an emergency thoracentesis saving her. Later while playing the piano, Peter retrieves Emma a tiara from Megan, who considers her as special to her. Although she can't forgive herself for Christopher death, Peter assures she could save others as she did with Megan. Later, Emma takes out her medical coat from storage. In "Upon This Rock" Emma failed to get back to med-school and returns to her apartment, where she gets visited by Samuel. He explains Emma that he needs her to find someone for him. Once at the Central Park, Samuel explains how her true ability works: Emma must use her feelings to create the music and lure the one he is seeking: Ian Michaels. After treating Ian at the hospital, Samuel offers Emma a place within the carnival, as they need "a doctor and siren", and he gives a compass to her.
As hinted by Emma's mother, Dr. Coolidge, the death of her nephew Christopher caused Emma to put her biomedicine degree aside and prefer to file patient data at the hospital instead. This event causes enough pain that it triggers Emma's ability to evolve into a sound blast. She even feels displeased when someone mentions for her to leave the file room (Hysterical Blindness). Emma confirms this to Peter while playing the hospital piano; Emma blames herself of his death because she was babysitting him that day but couldn't hear Christopher asking for help while drowning in the pool. Ultimately she overcomes her guilt after saving Megan's life (Shadowboxing).
Edgar
Edgar, portrayed by Ray Park, has the ability of enhanced speed and works at the "Sullivan Bros. Carnival". Introduced in "Orientation", he is sent by Samuel Sullivan to kill Emile Danko in order to retrieve a mysterious compass. At first he refuses, stating that he does not kill unless absolutely necessary. Samuel chokes him (with a tattoo hand controlled by his power), but releases him with a promise to not force Edgar again after he does this task. Edgar fails once, as Danko does not have the artifact with him and Tracy manages to freeze his knife and arm; he fails again when Peter Petrelli mimics his ability. He goes after Noah Bennet and finally takes the compass to Samuel, leaving Noah badly wounded.
He is shown to have feelings for Lydia, doing favors for her without informing Samuel. He works at the carnival as a knife thrower, his weapons of choice being Kukri knives. He has stated to Samuel that he does not kill unless absolutely necessary, proving this by injuring but not killing Noah Bennet and the worker that gives Danko's lock box to Noah and Peter. He constantly mistrusts Samuel's decisions to fill the void Joseph left when he died, like bringing new members to the "family".
In "Running In Circles" it is revealed that his family died in a fire when he was a child, and he discovered his ability as he escaped running from it. He later found the carnival and a new family, which he believes is not the same these days. He secretly brings a package to Lydia, which turns out to be a cell phone she later uses to contact her daughter Amanda in Slow Burn webisodes. After learning of Lydia's daughter, he hides her secret and even takes responsibility when Samuel learns about the hidden money, which actually belongs to Lydia, and is willing to accept the consequences. He follows Lydia's wishes and tries to make Amanda stay away from Samuel and Caleb, unsuccessfully. Together with Lydia, he worries about Amanda's fate among the carnival and near Samuel.
In "Tabula Rasa", Samuel orders him to retrieve Captain Lubbock, who was in the search of Sylar; Edgar realizes Samuel wants to make Sylar kill the cop so he will be back to normal. Once Sylar is among the carnies, Lydia constantly flirts with him by orders of Samuel, which enrages Edgar. During morning chores, Edgar displays his ability with knives to impress Lydia and stand out from Sylar, but Sylar shows off in turn by using telekinesis to redirect the knives. Edgar gets angry after this and Sylar throws him into a wheelbarrow filled with concrete to stop him. When Sylar can't kill Captain Lubbock, Edgar rushes into the Hall of Mirrors and kills the cop with his super speed knife-attack, and tells Sylar he knew he couldn't make it. After Sylar's baptism, he watches as Lydia and Sylar celebrate with the whole family and then walk together to trailer area.
In "Thanksgiving", Lydia and Edgar hear Hiro complaining about Samuel and learn he already fixed what Samuel wanted, leaving them wondering why Joseph isn't alive. After Lydia and Hiro return from eight weeks ago in time, Lydia informs Edgar how Joseph died by the hands of Samuel. During the carnival's Thanksgiving feast, Lydia informs Edgar what happened, so he confronts Samuel in front of the "family", but Hiro denies it for Charlie's sake. Once Edgar and Samuel are out to fight each other, Hiro freezes time saving Edgar from a rock to the back of his head. Hiro advises him that sometimes a hero needs to run away to live another day and attack back, so Edgar left the carnival. In the webisode Slow Burn Part 10, Lydia receives a voicemail from Edgar, who promises her he will return for her and Amanda.
In "Let It Bleed" Edgar tries to surprise to Noah at his apartment, but Noah was expecting him a shocked him down. With the Lauren's help, Noah tries to obtain information from Edgar by torturing him, until Lauren realizes Noah is letting his rage with Samuel go instead of being focussed on the interrogation. Later, Edgar describes the carnival's settings as he states Noah can help him get rid of Samuel, but then he understands Noah and Lauren's actions will only destroy the family Joseph once created, so he sets himself free and flees with the map.
Eli
Eli, portrayed by Todd Stashwick, is a thief and diamond-mine owner who is found by Tracy Strauss (following orders from Samuel Sullivan) in a cruise in the southwestern coast of Africa in the graphic novel "Prodigals, Part 1: Immersed". Tracy interrupts his way into a girl and accidentally reveals the money he has stolen from a tourist, and then Eli takes out a gun. When Tracy recognizes Eli, he gets angry and distrustful to hear she knows his real name, and creates many clones to surround Tracy. Unknowing what she meant about the carnival, "they" shoot Tracy, also unkowing her abilities will allow her to survive and attack back. The original Eli is already in a boat escaping, and Tracy knows she must follow him to the open sea. In "Prodigals, Part 2: Witch Hunt", Tracy is tracking down the root Eli at Cape Town and in the process ends up killing many of his clones. After understanding how Eli and clones move around, Eli surprises her at his diamond mine where his clones work. Instead of killing her when having a chance, he decides to receive her and show her the place. In "Prodigals, Part 3: Parched", Tracy is seen fighting against a horde of clones while the root Eli stands quietly. After learning Samuel is the actual leader of the carnival, he agrees to return, as it was Joseph who exiled him but always was loyal to Samuel.
His first appearance in the main series is in the episode "The Fifth Stage", as he returns to the carnival and appears in front of Samuel and Lydia. Samuel asks him to go to Noah Bennet's place and retrieve the Primatech files to him, which he agrees and sends clones to do it. The clones surprise Noah and Lauren at the apartment, where they quickly surround the former agents. Finally, the clones take the files and disappear from the place.
In the graphic Novel "Bloodlines", nearly a year prior to Joseph's death, he is seeing sending Eli away from the carnival after he and Samuel stole from local farms.
Ian Michaels
Ian Michaels, portrayed by Adam Lazarre-White, is a homeless man introduced in "Upon This Rock" who has the ability to control, manipulate, and accelerate plant growth. Originally, he was terrified by his ability and opted to hide in seclusion in Central Park.He was soon found by Samuel Sullivan and Emma Coolidge and shown the benefits of having an ability. He is now part of the "Sullivan Bros. Carnival".
Jeremy Greer
Jeremy Greer, portrayed by Mark L. Young, is an evolved human introduced in "Tabula Rasa", a teenager with the ability to control the life force of living creatures, so he can either heal them or kill them. Years ago, he was a "bag and tag" assignment of Noah Bennet and the Haitian, who later wiped his memory. In the present days, Noah finds his location after Peter asks him to find a healer to save Hiro's life. Peter teleports Noah to Cainan, GA to find Jeremy, but they notice several dead things at his house, including both of Jeremy's parents; he then shows up shooting the intruders. After Noah talks to him to understand the scenario, Jeremy confesses his ability changed from heal to kill because he got angry at his parents. Jeremy ends up shooting Peter when he intended to surprise him, so Noah forces Jeremy to heal Peter and conquers his fear to kill another person. Peter later mimics his ability and then leaves for New York while Noah stays with Jeremy. Noah feels he has let Jeremy down in the past because at that time he'd lost his will to help evolved humans. He tries to redeem himself by covering up the deaths of Jeremy's parents but Jeremy is locked up by a bitter sheriff regardless of Noah's efforts (Strange Attractors). With the help of Tracy Strauss, Noah manages to free Jeremy, but he is greeted by an angry mob outside of the police station. Jeremy, frightened, kills a man who attacks him and is sent back into his cell. He is later chained to a pickup and dragged to death by a hateful policeman, but not before finally showing restraint over his powers.
Lydia
Lydia, portrayed by Dawn Olivieri, introduced in "Orientation" as a member of the "Sullivan Bros. Carnival", where she is known as the "Painted Lady" for having several tattoos over her body. She demonstrates the complex ability to connect with people and knowing their description and whereabouts, achieved mainly when Samuel Sullivan draws their faces in her skin with ink, probably a type of clairvoyance. She is able to find Emile Danko's current location, and even find that Hiro Nakamura had visited the carnival fourteen years prior, and then she is told by Samuel to locate other characters (Claire, Sylar and Peter) so he can find a new member of the "family", who turns out to be Sylar (Hysterical Blindness). When she shakes hands with Sylar, it triggers Nathan's memories of shaking hands as a politician. In the graphic novel "Stolen Fate", she said to have the ability to show people's desires and hopes. In the graphic novel "The Painted Lady", her ability is shown as backfiring by making her susceptible to anyone else's desires, such as running away like her boyfriend wanted her to, and Carol's desire for Amanda to be hers, which led Lydia to abandon her baby with Carol.
In "Tabula Rasa", once Sylar is among the carnies, Lydia constantly flirts with him by orders of Samuel so he will be comfortable enough to stay, which enrages Edgar. After Sylar's baptism, he and Lydia celebrate with the whole family and then both walk to trailer area. In "Once Upon a Time in Texas", she talks to Samuel about Arnold's terminal condition and the fact that Hiro is too far from them; Lydia shows Samuel the image of Charlie in her back as the reason why Hiro is away, and then shows images of Sylar, Noah and fellow company agent Lauren Gilmore; this directs Samuel to travel back in time three years ago to find Hiro. In "Shadowboxing", Lydia and Samuel are talking about the problem Becky has become in her assignment to recruit Claire; Samuel assures her he will take care of it. Once Samuel and Becky are back to the carnival, Lydia informs him Sylar is gone.
In "Thanksgiving", Lydia and Edgar hear Hiro complaining about Samuel and learn he already fixed what Samuel wanted, leaving them wondering why Joseph isn't alive. Lydia tries to convince Hiro to confess what he did, but he refuses for Charlie's sake; Lydia approaches him to sense his desires: Charlie, and connecting with Hiro she activated his time traveling, teleporting both of them to the night Joseph died, eight weeks ago. Lydia and Hiro witness how an enraged Samuel killed his brother while craving for power. Hiro manages to take them back to the present before past-Samuel finds them. Once back at the carnival's Thanksgiving feast, Lydia informs Edgar what happened, so he confronts Samuel in front of the "family", but Hiro denies it for Charlie's sake. In "The Fifth Stage", Lydia confronts Samuel, telling him she knows everything, but she will shut because she need to look after Amanda, and leaves as soon as Eli shows up. Later that night, Claire and Gretchen enter her tent, and Claire touches her, so Lydia shows her deep desire, to be known as the "Indestructible Girl", to fit there. Lydia is seen again as Samuel talks to the carnies at Joseph's grave, about how they should settle at that point instead of wandering around.
In the graphic Novel "Bloodlines", nearly a year prior to Joseph's death, Lydia is among the carnies during the Christmas dinner. Joseph worries about the absence of Arnold and asks Samuel and Lydia to find him, but Lydia's tattoo show her the old-Arnold somewhere at the year-prior-present, in his terminal condition wearing a nasal prong.
Although she seems to be the confidant of Samuel and the one who comforts him, she shares Edgar's opinion that Samuel's decisions wouldn't be approved by Joseph if he was alive. Also, she hides from him the fact that she has a daughter, Amanda, or at least that she has contacted her because she sensed danger nearby Amanda as her ink images moved in her skin, which was the first image to ever move (Slow Burn webisodes). This has led her to constantly ask for Edgar's assistance without Samuel's knowledge, mainly to contact and help Amanda, and also to hide money from the "family" so she can send it to Amanda. According to Lydia, the "Sullivan Bros. Carnival" is a too dangerous place for Amanda, so she prefers her to stay as far away as she can. When Samuel learns about Amanda, he confronts Lydia and finds her image in Lydia's right arm. Lydia ends up lying to him by telling him that Amanda has no power and that she does not care about her daughter. When Samuel leaves Lydia's trailer, Amanda appears in front of her. After arguing about Amanda's presence there, she leaves Lydia alone in her trailer. Lydia's efforts to hide Amanda turn out unsuccessful, as Amanda meets Samuel and shows her ability to him. Despite Amanda's joy at the carnival, Lydia explains her reasons to leave and her reason to mistrust Samuel, as she feels his desire for power. Lydia confesses her story as she compares herself with Amanda.
Joseph Sullivan
Joseph Sullivan, portrayed by Andrew Connolly, was the leader of the "Sullivan Bros. Carnivale", until his mysterious death. Seeing his burial in "Orientation" and being mentioned so many times, mainly by his brother Samuel, Lydia and Edgar, he is referred as a kind and fair leader, with visions of family and peace far from Samuel's. As his rightful successor, Samuel tries to fill his void by adding new members to the family, although Lydia and Edgar say it wasn't Joseph's will (Acceptance). In the episode "Ink", Samuel reveals he and Joseph once lived and served at a mansion while kids. In the episode "Hysterical Blindness", Samuel chooses Sylar from a list of evolved humans as the one who will fill the void left by Joseph's death, although is unknown what ability Joseph held. In "Shadowboxing", Samuel states Danko is the one who killed Joseph and that's why he kept a compass hidden, Joseph's.
Joseph is first introduced as Lydia remembers her story in the graphic novel "The Painted Lady", where Joseph is revealed to be the one who accept Lydia into the carnival ring, though Samuel didn't agree to.
In flashbacks during the episode "Brother's Keeper", Joseph is seen in his trailer talking to Mohinder Suresh about Coyote Sands' Project Icarus, involving Samuel's power limits: he becomes stronger when surrounded by other posthumans. While alive, Joseph kept this secret from Samuel, but once he learnt this he confronts both Mohinder and Joseph separately. In "Thanksgiving", Hiro and Lydia travel back eight weeks ago to witness Joseph's murder; then, they find Samuel arguing with Joseph about his ability and how to become more powerful, and Joseph confesses to have Mohinder burn the film and even lend a compass to Danko so he will hunt Samuel and keep him away because he is too dangerous. Samuel propels a rock through Joseph's throat and embraces him while he dies.
In the graphic Novel "Bloodlines", nearly a year prior to his death, Joseph is seeing sending Eli away as he stole from local farms together with Samuel. He then faces his brother realizing Samuel is getting harder to control as days pass. Joseph then talks to a much younger version of Arnold, to whom he refers as "brother", and asks to go to Coyote Sands Relocation Center back in 1961, but his assigment is not explained. During Christmas dinner, Joseph worries about the absence of Arnold and asks Samuel and Lydia to find him, but Lydia's tattoo show her the old-Arnold somewhere at the year-prior-present, in his terminal condition wearing a nasal prong.
Samuel Sullivan
Samuel Sullivan, portrayed by Robert Knepper, has the ability to control earth and other minerals with his mind. His ability manifested before he was even born, as it was shown in one of Chandra Suresh's videos that Samuel caused a seismic tremor while still in his mother's womb. The mysterious leader of a carnival ring, "Sullivan Bros. Carnival", he is introduced in "Orientation" while eulogizing his deceased brother, Joseph. Later he is seen with his associate Lydia. He pokes her with a long stick and ink floods into her skin. After she gives him information on Danko, he sends Edgar to "go get the compass", once again using his ability to make him do so. Next, he is seen asking Lydia for information on Hiro Nakamura. After gaining the information, he asks Arnold to send him back in time. Fourteen years in the past, Samuel tries to persuade Hiro to use his power to right past wrongs. Later, he uses his power again on Lydia. Using his strange tattoo power once again, images of Claire Bennet, Sylar, and Peter Petrelli appear on Lydia's back.
Following Edgar's revelation of meeting an empath (Peter Petrelli), in the episode "Ink", Samuel pretends to be one of the people Peter had recently saved in a bus crash, and sues Peter to get to meet him. Over the course of the day, Samuel breaks into Peter's apartment and uses ink to make himself appear in the crash photo, resulting in having Peter seemingly empathize with Samuel (his primary goal); before leaving, he watches Peter admiring Emma's cello play. Later, Samuel goes to his old home - a mansion where his father and mother, both servants, worked - to see the carriage house. After being denied entry, Samuel levels the mansion by creating a sinkhole.
In the episode "Hysterical Blindness", while sitting around the breakfast table, he remarks to his carnival family that since his brother's death, their circle has been broken (one empty chair), and that before the day is done he will bring a new member to the family. As the day wears on, he reveals to Lydia that he does not know who it is, but that he has a feeling that someone is coming. Late in the evening, getting a bit desperate, he tries to tattoo Lydia to see if anyone's face shows up. While he is waiting, Becky reports in to him on her progress with pushing Claire and isolating her in an effort to bring her into the family. Finally, the ink settles and (although it is not revealed on screen, it is implied that) Sylar's face appears. As Sylar (in his amnesiac state) runs from the police, he stumbles upon the entrance to the "Sullivan Bros. Carnival" where Samuel is holding out his arm welcoming him into the family. A cello appears in Emma's apartment so she starts playing it while her ability evolves; the cello was in a box with the "Sullivan Bros. Carnival" label on it.
In "Tabula Rasa", after Sylar rests, Samuel shows him around the carnival, intent on trying to awaken Sylar's memories immediately. However, he is surprised when Sylar refers to himself as 'Nathan', and returning memories reveal not to be the real Sylar's. Talking to Damien, he has Sylar sent to the Hall of Mirrors to attempt to regain his memories, while having tickets sent to the police officer bent on arresting Sylar. After telling Sylar that it is his duty to become a guardian of the carnival, he sends Sylar to kill the police officer, although Edgar ends up actually killing the man. Not worried, Samuel makes Sylar one of the carnival members, cryptically saying that in time, Sylar would regain his murderous tendencies.
In "Strange Attractors", Samuel then moves his sights to other superhumans, namely Tracy Strauss and Jeremy Greer. He somehow teleports Tracy to the carnival, and begins trying to convince Tracy that she belongs to the carnival, as she and Jeremy are both lost in their ways. Spooked, Tracy demands to be sent back to Georgia to help Jeremy out of prison with Noah, but they fail when Jeremy loses control and kills a civilian who attacks him as they are leaving. As a result, an officer and his friend kidnap and kill Jeremy. Samuel obtains vengeance by returning to Georgia and levelling a building the two men enter, presumably killing them.
In "Once Upon a Time in Texas", Samuel and Lydia talk about Arnold's terminal condition and imminent death, feeling that Hiro's path has gotten way to long for them to wait. Lydia's ability directs him to travel back in time three years ago so he could find Hiro in Midland, TX. Once there, he asks Hiro about his plans and warns him about the risks of changing what is meant to happen (Charlie's death at the hands of Sylar). However, Hiro manages to change it anyway after making Sylar fix Charlie's aneurysm and then teleporting him directly to Odessa, TX. Samuel kidnaps Charlie, sending her to the carnival in the present, and then forces Hiro to control his ability and teleport there. Once at the carnival, Samuel tells him that Arnold hid Charlie somewhere in time, and blackmails Hiro to stay there and help him right the wrongs for Charlie's sake. Samuel doesn't want the carnies to know that Arnold's final effort killed him because Samuel asked too much of him. It is revealed that Samuel is somehow responsible for the apparent death of Mohinder Suresh eight weeks earlier, and that he needs Hiro to undo this event.
In the episode "Shadowboxing", Samuel comes to Claire's college to stop Becky from getting out of control. In the meantime, he talked to Claire about how Bennett will never understand people like them and that he's just a hunter. At first Claire doesn't fall for it but towards the end, after Bennett tried to Tase Becky, had handcuffed Samuel, and tried to chase after them when they got away, Claire realized there was truth to his words. In the end, Samuel promises that she will be able to have her revenge on Claire and Bennett, and also notes that even though she screwed up, Claire's mindset is now in a place better than what he had hoped for.
It was revealed in "Brother's Keeper" that Samuel becomes stronger when he is surrounded by people with abilities, and this is presumably why he's been expanding his "family." His brother, Joseph, kept that fact from him, and kept him away in the then-small carnival. Having overheard Joseph and Mohinder talking about his ability, Samuel went to Mohinder's hotel room to get a video about his ability, but Mohinder had destroyed it, so Samuel killed him. Samuel sent Hiro to go back in time to switch the videos being burnt. Unbeknownst to Samuel, Hiro also strapped a bulletproof vest on Mohinder, so that the rock fragments that Samuel shot at him didn't kill him. He also meets with Tracy at the end of the episode, talking with her about the carnival, which she apparently joins.
It was revealed in "Thanksgiving" that he was the one who killed his brother, Joseph, because he had lied about Samuel's true abilities. After he kills him, he seems to show regret. In the present, he blames Edgar for this crime, making him run from the carnival.
Rebecca Taylor
Rebecca "Becky" Taylor, portrayed by Tessa Thompson, possesses the power of invisibility. She is first introduced in "Hysterical Blindness" as a pledge master for a sorority on Claire Bennet's college campus. She is connected to the Sullivan Bros. Carnival by way of her "Uncle Samuel". It is revealed that she is the one responsible for the death of Claire's first roommate, Annie, and for fueling Claire's suspicion of Gretchen. When Claire and Gretchen are exploring the slaughterhouse as part of the hazing process, an invisible Becky attempts to kill Gretchen twice, but is thwarted by Claire at both turns. Becky exhibits her power in front of all four girls being hazed and is forced to flee after Claire hits her. It's revealed in "Shadowboxing" that Becky has an unpleasant past with Noah Bennet as he killed her father during a bag and tag mission for the Company; her fear towards Noah activating her invisibility. Becky grew up hating Noah and when she learned Claire was his daughter, she used the sorority cover to approach her; the rush attacks were her method of getting her revenge using Claire as a pawn. Finally, Samuel shocks her using Noah's taser, and carries her to the carnival. Once there, he apologizes to Becky, and though she feels she messed up her mission, Samuel assures things turn out good for them as Claire sees the carnival and Noah in different ways now.

When trying to meet with his girlfriend, Echo used the brown note to avoid two more Company agents. He arranged to meet her thirteen weeks later at his family's cabin only to be ambushed by Penny and Connie Logan, Elle Bishop, and several other paired agents.

After surviving the explosive disaster at Pinehearst, Rachel is interrogated by Angela Petrelli in order to locate a vial of the serum Rachel had salvaged after the incident. Rachel is imprisoned until she finally accepts her ability, which she uses to teleport out of the Company facility and finally escape, with Angela secretly watching.
Rachel joins what she believes to be an elite security organization, but which is actually a secret task force agency set up by the Department of Homeland Security, at the behest of Senator Nathan Petrelli, to hunt down and imprison posthumans.

During the conversation, Lydia reveals herself as Amanda's mother, and Amanda tells Lydia about her power manifestation and that she feels like a freak; Lydia comforts Amanda, but they are interrupted by Carol (Slow Burn Parts 1 and 2). The fact that Lydia didn't want Amanda to come to her caused Amanda to destroy her house, burning her aunt as well. Because of this, she meets Peter Petrelli, who makes her feel she is not alone in this world after seeing his super speed. Ultimately, he convinces her to trust in her family, so she decides to find Lydia (Amanda's Journey, Part 1: When Everything Changed). On her way to find Lydia, she meets Tracy Strauss, who gives her a ride so she could catch the bus she missed. Later, Amanda feels she can be a hero and tries to stop two robbers in a car, but her power gets out of control and she nearly kills them; in that moment Tracy returns and freezes the fire. Tracy agrees to take Amanda all along to her destiny and in the way she would teach her how to control her ability.

Samuel introduces the carnival to Amanda, a place where she can be free to use her ability as well as a safe place for her to call home. Despite Lydia and Edgar's efforts to convince both Samuel and Amanda there was no place for her, Amanda decides to stay at the carnival stating Lydia can't act as her mother as Samuel has become more like a father to her since Amanda got there (Slow Burn Parts 7 and 8).

Additional family of the main characters
This list includes every non-powered relative of the main characters to have been seen either in the TV series or in the graphic novels.
Lyle Bennet
Lyle Bennet, portrayed by Randall Bentley, is Claire Bennet's younger brother and the son of Noah and Sandra Bennet. Lyle finds out about his sister's healing powers by watching a videotape showing her quickly recovering from such otherwise deadly experiences as being hit by a car and falling nearly thirty feet. He confirms his realization by stapling Claire's hand and watching it heal, though Claire convinces him to keep the secret and to hand her the tape.[27] After Claire tells her father that Lyle knows about her powers, Mr. Bennet has the Haitian remove Lyle's memories about her healing abilities.[28] but later he becomes aware of her powers again. Four months later he began a new life with the surname 'Butler', along with the rest of the family.[29] Whether Lyle was adopted by the Bennets is never mentioned within the series, although in a deleted scene from "Nothing to Hide" Claire tells him she is "glad we're both adopted".
Sandra Bennet
Sandra Bennet, portrayed by Ashley Crow, is Claire Bennet's adoptive mother and the wife of Noah Bennet. She has great affection for her pet pomeranian, Mr. Muggles. She is at first unaware of her husband's activities or her daughter's powers, and the Haitian has wiped her memories several times on her husband's orders.[28] However, after Claire meets Hank and Lisa, Sandra tells Claire that she and Mr. Bennet had tried unsuccessfully to find her biological parents when she was a baby because they thought she might have a rare chromosomal disorder.[30]
Sylar tries to murder her, but she is saved by Mr. Bennet and the Haitian.[31] 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. After this erasure, her memory continues to degrade, as demonstrated by an event where she does not recognize Mr. Muggles or Claire, and then a few minutes later has no recollection of the episode. She complains of headaches and sees a neurologist. She collapses and is taken to the hospital, where she is diagnosed with a subdural hematoma.[32] 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.[33]
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.
When Meredith Gordon is called in to watch over the family in "The Butterfly Effect", Sandra finds her position in the house threatened and would often clash with Meredith over raising Claire, especially when Meredith acts like the "cool" mom and allows Claire to skip school so that they could train together.
When Claire later goes after Eric Doyle in "Dying of the Light", Sandra doesn't object and in fact goes as her partner. Their plan fails but during a twisted game of Russian roulette, Claire has Sandra shoot and apparently kill her tricking Doyle and allowing Claire to knock him out freeing Sandra and Meredith. Noah arrests Doyle and takes him back to Level 5 later.
Sandra learns the truth about Noah's job from Claire in "Building 26" and, after a heated argument, asks Noah to leave the house, apparently for good. She then discovers Alex Woolsley hiding in Claire's closet in "Exposed", and after expressing her disappointment over the situation, decides to help. She created a fake ID using Lyle's driver's license to help Alex start over, and she and Claire successfully hide him from Rachel Mills and her partner, who have been performing surveillance on the Bennets ever since Claire brought Alex back with her.
In "Turn and Face the Strange", Sandra goes to visit Noah in Washington, only for him to assault her, believing her to be Sylar in disguise (Sylar had, in fact, come by disguised as Sandra earlier to force divorce papers on Noah). Holding her down on the table with a gun to the back of the head, he remains unconvinced that it is the real Sandra even after she recounts several past events of their lives (believing that Sylar had acquired telepathic abilities). It is only after Lyle calls to ask where the dog medicine is and Sandra accurately answers him that Noah realizes his mistake. However, the damage is already done; despite Noah's attempts to explain, an enraged and terrified Sandra orders him to leave, later divorcing him as Sylar had intended.
Several months later when Noah calls the house one evening, a man answers the phone and appears to be living there. Shocked at the turn of events, Noah hangs up and does not speak with Sandra once she answers. It is implied (or at least Noah believes) that she has moved on and is now living with a boyfriend. After the death of her daughter's roommate in "Orientation" she had let a shaken and frightened Claire stay the night with her off campus. They are seen returning to the campus of Arlington Universlty as Sandra reminisces about her years at AU, and Claire introduces her to Gretchen Berg before Sandra leaves.
In "Thanksgiving" Sandra has in fact moved on from Noah with a man named Doug, who states that their meeting was "love at first sight", though with Mr. Muggles and Doug's dog Ms. Lovegood; they both attend the Thanksgiving dinner that Noah is hosting at his apartment. Sandra meets Lauren Gilmore and, believing her to be his date, immediately becomes jealous, though she hides this from everybody in attendance.
Martin Gray

Virginia Gray
Virginia Gray, portrayed by Ellen Greene, is Sylar's adoptive mother. When Sylar visits Virginia, she constantly pushes Sylar to "be special," even saying that he could become President if he wanted to.

Both instances only alienate the two, and Virginia demands that Sylar leave her house and give back her son Gabriel. She brandishes a pair of scissors at Sylar, but is accidentally stabbed in the heart when they struggle for the scissors. In "I Am Sylar", Sylar, as Agent Taub, is given a box of Virginia's old knickknacks, including some of her many snow globes and the pair of scissors that killed her.

Matt then tries to fulfill her every need by reading her thoughts to improve their marriage. Matt discovers that she had had an affair with his ex-partner. Two weeks later, after Matt tells Janice of his ability to read minds, the pair's marriage and relationship begins to mend. When Matt gets a six-month suspension for his rogue actions at work, she provides him with emotional support and reveals that she is pregnant. Four months later Matt and Janice are divorced, and Matt later reveals to Nathan Petrelli that the child his wife bore is not his, but rather the man's with whom his wife cheated.[29] Matt Parkman sees a vision of his wife in a dream sequence or illusion created by his father Maury Parkman, in which he was holding a baby and saying that Matt left his son just like his father had left Matt.
In the fourth volume episode "Cold Snap", in Los Angeles, Janice arrives home to find Hiro and Ando babysitting her son, Matt Jr., who was next on the list of Danko's agents.

Before his death, Chandra kept a male lizard named Mohinder.
According to a dream Mohinder had, Chandra was killed while sitting in the driver's seat of his cab by a man wearing a watch, which was stopped at 11:53, a watch which Sylar is often seen wearing. Eden McCain, Chandra's one-time neighbor, claimed Sylar was his murderer. Sylar later claimed that Chandra became very close to him at one time and shared things he felt Mohinder was too "fragile" to know, including information on his sister.
In "Turn and Face the Strange" and "1961" it was revealed that Chandra was part of the government project that studied persons with special abilities at Coyote Sands Relocation Center, named Project Icarus. Several recordings of this project are seen in a film found by Mohinder during the episodes "Brother's Keeper" and "Thanksgiving", showing the events surrounding the birth of Samuel Sullivan and the extension of his power.

Additional Season One characters
This list includes every character not listed above, that appeared in three episodes or more of the first season. The characters are listed in the order they first appeared on the show.
Zach
Zach, portrayed by Thomas Dekker, is a high school classmate of Claire Bennet and one of the first people to know of her powers. He videotapes Claire using her abilities.[37] He tells Claire that he helped her win the Homecoming Queen election by campaigning for her amongst the "unpopular" crowd. He also gives her a book written by Chandra Suresh, which he says details information on her power and others.[38] Claire is overwhelmed and later punches Jackie when she makes homophobic comments towards Zach. After Claire is grounded, Zach enters her bedroom using a ladder and convinces her to come to the Homecoming game.
After Claire tells her father that Zach knows about her powers, Mr. Bennet has the Haitian make him forget about his relationship with Claire and her powers.

Nevertheless, Claire convinces Zach to videotape her again and is able to rekindle their friendship.[39] Zach subsequently helps Claire track down her biological parents while also helping to keep her actions secret from her adoptive parents.
Though it was originally intended for Zach to be gay, Dekker's manager "didn't want him to be playing a gay character" for career reasons, and his storyline was later changed.[40][41][42] As producer Bryan Fuller detailed,
We 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.[43]

He reveals to her his ability to read people's minds and she asks him to help the FBI find Sylar. Later, Sylar unsuccessfully attempts to seize Molly from FBI custody. During his escape, Audrey is almost forced to shoot herself because of the man's telekinetic abilities but is saved when Parkman intervenes.[45]
Audrey again requests the aid of Officer Parkman when she suspects that Sylar has killed again. She takes Parkman to the morgue, where they examine the body of a dead oncologist who was burned alive.

She recognizes Claire as the survivor of the cheerleader massacre in Odessa, TX (Homecoming), and ultimately becomes friends with her, which makes Claire's roommate Annie jealous. After Annie's death, Gretchen insists that they both could figure out if whether she was killed or committed suicide by using the "jump, push or fall" theory. Although Claire's hesitant, she does end up testing Gretchen's theory by throwing herself out of the windows, and proves to herself that Annie did commit suicide (in "Hysterical Blindness" it is revealed that Becky actually pushed Annie on orders from Samuel). Gretchen witnesses Claire's fall and regeneration and tries to get an explanation out of her, but Claire refuses. When Noah invites the two girls out to lunch, Gretchen immediately agrees to, which Claire quietly objects.

In "Shadowboxing", Gretchen is panicky thinking that Becky will come after her again. Despite Claire's reassurances, Gretchen has already packed her belongings and booked her flight home.

Edward
Edward, portrayed by Jose Yenque, is the father of Santiago and the husband of Iris, and is a former agent of the Company. He has the abilities of both accelerated probability - allowing him to slow time, determine which action to take, and do so at a superhuman speed - and electricity manipulation. With his family threatened, he was forced to work as an assassin for the Company, but eventually faked his death to leave that life.

Leona Mills/Linda Niles
Leona Mills is the long-lost mother of Rachel Mills. Leona is a childhood friend of Angela Petrelli (affectionately referring to her as "Angie"). Leona is also an evolved human with the ability to absorb life-force from both living and in-animate objects (such as the ground around her, or living people); with such a degree of control Leona can age herself to make herself look extremely old or relatively young at will. Initially she was unable to accept her ability when it first manifested and faked her death; with Angela the only person, who she confided in, knowing the truth; leaving Rachel to believe her mother had truly committed suicide. In truth, Leona, with Angela's help, eventually accepted her ability and, while secretly hiding from her daughter, nevertheless retained contact with Angela (such as when Rachel was imprisoned by Angela following the fall of Pinehearst; as part of Angela's efforts to get Rachel to accept her own ability when it first developed). In this time, Leona eventually accepted her power; but still had a fatalistic view toward it and herself. Leona, going under the alias of "Linda Niles", became one of the members of "LAWR"; and is leader of "Ellen" - its fugitive smuggling ring operating to hide evolved humans from being hunted and imprisoned by the Department of Homeland Security. After a pitched battle in which "Ellen" is effectively shut-down and "LAWR" crippled, Rachel, initially imprisoned, is forcibly sent on a mission to kill Leona - as Danko states that, due to Leona's position as head of the smuggling ring, she is one of the greatest dangers to the United States - or Anna Korolenko, another prisoner and friend to Rachel, would be executed. Initially, Rachel was unaware of who Leona was but, even when Leona used her ability to age herself and make her look un-recognisably old, Rachel recognised how Leona was talking and acting around her and, despite Leona's insistence to kill her (having been informed by Angela's precognitive dreams, and, also having lost hope in the cause to protect evolved humans), Rachel refused to kill her mother. It was here Leona commenced her second faked death, with the aid of one of the circus performers, which convinced all present she had truly killed herself. Pretending to be dead for the duration of Rachel and Janey Pierce's fight, Leona slipped away and vanished. Some time later, Leona reconnects with Angela, and is then met by Micah Sanders a.k.a. Rebel in person; who summons the rest of LAWR - including Rachel. Mother and daughter finally reunited. In the months that followed, Leona and Rachel moved together to Connecticut.
Santiago
Santiago, portrayed by Roberto Urbina, is a posthuman living in Peru with the ability of accelerated probability, which allows him to slow down time, analyze which action to take, and then do so at a superhuman speed. He believed for years that his father was dead, but finds out the truth after being captured by S.L.W. and Elisa that his father was an assassin for the Company. He refuses to follow in his father's footsteps, and eventually escapes with Elisa, to whom he is mutually attracted.
David Sullivan
David Sullivan, portrayed by Brian T. Skala, is a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps recruited by Pinehearst as part of their super soldier program. The goal of the program is to inject the marines with an experimental serum to aid in the apprehension of people with special abilities by granting them abilities themselves. He is shown working at a Pinehearst facility alongside Pvt. Rachel Mills and Ryan Hanover. During the explosive disaster there, he is severely injured by falling debris. In an attempt to save him, Rachel injects him with a vial of the serum. The serum augments his strength and speed, makes his eyes glow red-orange, and also causes him to behave in a violent, animalistic fashion. After attacking and killing Ryan, he also turns on Rachel. However, she stabs him to death with a pair of scissors.

They presumed that it was a nearby farming village, but later realized that it was a young girl with the ability to make plants grow at a rapid rate. 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.

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.

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.[52][53]
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 who was able to duplicate himself, 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.
Donna Dunlap
Donna Dunlap was merely an everyday dental receptionist who happened to have telescopic, microscopic, and nocturnal vision. She went on a date with a disguised Eric Thompson Jr. 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 Bennet. 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.
Donald Essex
Donald Essex is a prison guard who is left the sole survivor of a bus crash, unharmed due to his power to transform his body into water. While under observation at a hospital, he is approached by Nathan Petrelli, who offers him a position in his government task force. After turning him down, Donald returns home and is attacked by Nathan's agents, who spray him with a gas that makes him dissolve into a puddle. His current status remains unknown.
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.
Manuel Garcia
Manuel Garcia had connections to Evs Dropper, and with her help, he managed to evade the Company by teleporting. He was eventually captured by Connie and Penn Logan while acting as agents and not as Evs Dropper. They managed to get close enough to him by Penny impersonating his girlfriend with Connie's ability. His name was revealed on the Assignment Tracker's interactive map. He was recruited into the Company after his capture and was killed while fighting Evs Dropper.
Howard Grigsby
Howard Grigsby is a man with the ability to emit blinding amounts of light. He thinks he is the light of God, and is the reason that Noah Bennet had to get his famed glasses. After he was captured, he was sent to a Level 5 detention cell. However, he later escapes after Elle Bishop accidentally releases all the Level 5 prisoners.[54]
Guillame

Paul Harding
Paul Harding was listed on the assignment tracker map as a posthuman with the ability to manipulate the hair of his entire body. Before the map was created, it was mentioned that he and his partner helped Bianca and Gael bring the German to Primatech Research. He left a discussion on Evs Dropper's blog about mysterious blue water, traveled with his partner, Ahlrich Dekker, to Calgary to capture an unidentified posthuman and angrily commented on being ordered back from the battle with Connie Logan by Bob Bishop while Dekker was sent on his own. He eventually arrived by himself and was killed in the subsequent battle.
Sabine Hazel
Sabine Hazel is a medical professional (specifically a biologist) in the employ of the Company who was selected by Bob Bishop to become an agent and partner of whom she believed was the real (or "Root") Julien Dumont. Initially only together to protect him, eventually Sabine succumbed to her desires and became his lover. Secretly, Sabine had been contacted by the mysterious Evs Dropper, who claimed Dumont was an imposter. Sabine, however, did not believe the warning.
After a bag and tag mission of several rogue Dumont duplicates, Sabine goes after the one in the Congo alone, and claims he escaped. In actuality, the third clone jumped from a cliff and died. When Sabine reports back, Dumont claims he can still sense the third one alive. Suspicious, Sabine is able to lure Dumont out into the forest, where she forces him at gunpoint to confess that, not only is he really another duplicate, but that Sabine has never met the real Dumont. Upon demanding to learn what has happened to the real Dumont, an infuriated Sabine kills the Dumont clone, and takes his keycard, using it to access the detention facility at Primatech Research. Sabine finds the original Dumont, kept in an induced coma and hooked up to machinery that activates his cloning powers against his will. 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 Dumont, even understanding that he's not the Dumont she loved, and the two flee from the Company.
The two are then rescued by another Dumont clone, and Sabine is taken to a safe house where Sabine meets Evs Dropper, whom is revealed to be the original Dumont's wife, Connie Logan. Sabine is told by Connie of how Dumont submitted himself for testing, only for the Company to fake his death. Sabine agrees to aid Connie's plan to destroy the Company. Soon afterwards, Sabine keeps the original Dumont safe as a pitched battle ensues, where Connie, Penny and many clones are killed in battle with the Kill Squad. After the dying Connie tells Sabine to escape with Dumont, the two are captured by Gael Cruz and Bianca Karina. Initially, Sabine assumes they intend to keep harvesting Dumont, but is instead shocked when Bianca kills Dumont to wipe out the clone army. Instead, "The Package" they have been seeking is Sabine herself, as they know (before Sabine herself) that she is pregnant with Dumont's clones' son, who will be an evolved human. Sabine is then returned to Primatech and incarcerated.
It is revealed in "Rebellion, Part 5: Wanted", in a conversation between Micah Sanders and Eric Thompson Jr. that her baby is already been born, and is considered to be as dangerous as his posthuman father, Julien Dumont, although is never revealed if he has any ability.
In the iStory Faction Zero, Sabine and her child are seen living at the Sullivan Bros. Carnivale along with main characters of the fifth volume and other characters that only appear in iStories.

After a confrontation with the Kill Squad in which they are forced to use their powers to make them kill one another, Anna flees and starts a new life in Ithaca, New York. She later meets Claire Bennet at college, when Ricardo returns and uses his power to make two security guards attack Claire, believing her to be a Primatech agent.

He is sent to a crater the size of a village in Guyana caused by a local manifesting his ability. Paulette Hawkins augments his power to cover the crater with forestry, and he dies in the process.
Connie Logan
Connie Logan is an agent of the Company, referred as Face by Bob Bishop, who was considered an invaluable asset for her ability to mold and reshape other people's faces as if they were made of clay, and to change their hair and eye colors as well as their vocal cords to precisely mimic the appearance and voice of another person, creating perfect disguises. 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, Part 1" reveals that she is the mysterious "Evs Dropper", and is working to bring down the Company alongside an army of Julien Dumont clones.

Penny helps lure Eric Thompson, into an ambush, with Penny poised to kill him (as Penny thirsted for revenge towards Eric as he seduced and had sex with her solely for his pleasure, at a time when she admired him). Eric is saved at the last moment, as the Kill Squad arrives and opens fire. One of their bullets hits Penny in the face, and blowing her head apart.

When Macon refuses to give Sylar the information, Sylar kills him and takes his ability. Noah Bennet later discovers the body in Macon's office after receiving reports of strange, unexplained murders.
Matt Neuenberg
Matt Neuenberg was a high school student who had difficulty fitting in and making friends, feeling that people are only ever interested in him for his ability to quickly memorize and recall vast amounts of information with great accuracy. 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.
Matt was eventually used by the Company to guard their computer from hackers. Through his efforts, an attempt to hack the Company computer by Hana Gitelman and Richard Drucker is stopped by downloading the information to his head before destroying the computer. However, he died when the Company downloaded the information from him.
Sparrow Redhouse
Sparrow Redhouse was on Chandra's list, as well as the Gabriel Gray's list. In 2011, in the possible future in which the destruction of New York City in 2006 isn't stopped, Future Hiro rescues Sparrow from police. When he scolds her for not obeying her curfew, Sparrow criticizes the government.
The graphic novels reveal that she was the prisoner who was sucked out of Flight 195 in "A Clear and Present Danger", and survived by breaking her fall using her power of terrakinesis. As she flees the crash site, she meets Micah Sanders, and later begins helping him protect other posthumans from Building 26. Although she initially states her power is useless at cities due to the lack of soil, she is seen using great amounts of earth to scape tall buildings, to summon powerful ground-make fists and even producing earthquakes at places with concrete, revealing the development of her power after joining 'Rebel'.
She is later mentioned by West Rosen in the graphic novel "Scenic Route", having gone on the run with Alex to escape Danko's agents, but later getting separated from him.
After derailing a prison train, she and the rest of the 'Rebel' team follow the direction Molly gave to find Monica in Washington D.C., but at the cost of losing Micah to Sylar.
In "Ice Queen, Part 1", Micah states that he has already reunited with Monica and the "Rebellion" team before the beginning of Redemption.

Ricardo Silva, a.k.a. "Red Eye", was a former biochemist, researcher, and part-time professor with the ability to induce a "primal rage" in others. Seeking revenge against Primatech and the Kill Squad, he kidnaps a young girl named Anna Korolenko, hoping to use her ability in conjunction with his own as a weapon. Over time, however, he comes to care for Anna as more than a hostage. As the two are caught by the Kill Squad, they use their powers together to turn them into raging, mindless beasts who proceed to kill each other. Horrified at what they've done, Anna flees. Weeks later, Ricardo finds Anna talking to Claire Bennet, whom he mistakes for a Primatech agent. He uses his power to make two security guards attack Claire, forcing Anna to stun them with her power. Claire sees that Ricardo truly does care for Anna and wants only to protect her, and convinces her to hear him out over dinner.
Linda Tavara
Linda Tavara, originally seen on Chandra Suresh's list of posthumans, 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 posthuman, 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 absorbed 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 forced her employer to fire her. Afterward, she was approached by a mysterious woman who hired her to locate certain individuals for her, all implied to have powers. After turning in two such people, Linda was tasked to find a man named Jason Welkes, but she instead absorbed his life force and disposed of the body. When asked, she repeated her previous habit of claiming she was unable to find the person. This led 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 gained 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.
Traveler
Traveler answers a call from Hana Gitelman and is asked to deliver a message to Richard Drucker in Bhutan. He enters the country and easily adapts to his surroundings thanks to his command of languages. While traveling on foot, he falls down an incline and injures himself. He shouts for help before passing out. When Traveler awakens he is in a Bhutanese temple, being tended to by Buddhist monks. A man who appears to be Drucker asks for his message. Traveler informs him that his message is from Hana Gitelman, to whom Drucker is related.
Ida May Walker
Ida May Walker was an elderly woman living in a retirement home in 1967. As stated in "Moonlight Serenade", she had the power of mediumship, seen when Linda Tavara killed her absorbing her ability as well. She described it as seen angels all the time due to the blue light-shape spirits exhibit. According to Evsdropr, she is the mother of James Walker and Molly's grandmother.
