After confirming his realization by stapling Claire's hand and watching it heal, Lyle locks himself into an SUV with the tape. Only after Claire says that she would have to be taken away if her parents found out, does Lyle finally exit the vehicle and grudgingly hand her the tape.[19] After Claire tells her father that Lyle knew about her powers, Mr. Bennett has the Haitian remove Lyle's memories about her healing abilities.[14]

In the episode "Distractions", Sandra is confronted by Sylar, who poses as a Primatech employee. He is about to murder her when she is saved by Mr. Bennet and The Haitian, who chase him out of the house. 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, then a few minutes later has no recollection of the episode. She complains of headaches and sees a neurologist. In "Unexpected," she collapses and is taken to the hospital, where she is diagnosed with a subdural hematoma. 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.

Meredith says that Nathan is giving them $50,000, with Claire being entitled to half of that. (Meredith actually made a deal with Nathan for $100,000).

Overhearing their conversation, Claire angrilly throws a rock at Nathan's car as he leaves.

Janice blames their problems over his jealousy of her prospering career while his has been stalling. However, when Matt disappears for a day, she is truly worried about him. Matt then tries to fulfill her every need by reading her thoughts to improve their marriage. At first she thinks that he must have been cheating on her for him to be so attentive, but she is ultimately delighted by his efforts. However, Matt discovers that she had an affair with his ex-partner, leaving them both wondering whether their marriage is now over. Two weeks later, Matt tells Janice of his ability to read minds.

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.
Angela Petrelli
Angela Petrelli, played by Cristine Rose, is the mother of Peter and Nathan Petrelli. She is also the biological grandmother of Claire Bennet. In "Genesis" she is still not quite recovered from her husband's death six months ago, and has been doing odd things like shoplifting ever since. In "Don't Look Back" she confesses to Peter that he is her favorite son. She also reveals that Peter's father suffered from depression and had delusions of grandeur before he actually committed suicide, causing her to worry that Peter has inherited the condition. When the opportunity presents itself in "Nothing to Hide", Angela sets up a family brunch with a journalist as an invited guest. She insists that Nathan and his family pretend that brunches are a family tradition in order to use the journalist to create positive publicity about the family. When Nathan learns weeks later (in "Run!") that Meredith and their daughter is alive, Angela tells him to wire money but not visit them.

Heidi says that she is determined to recover but only if Nathan is true to her.
Hal Sanders
Hal Sanders, played by Graham Beckel, is the estranged father of Niki and Jessica Sanders. When the girls were younger, Hal was an abusive alcoholic. While both of them were beaten, Jessica took the brunt of Hal's abuse to protect Niki. When Jessica was ten or eleven years old, Hal strangled her to death. Niki somehow lost recollection of her childhood and only remembered that Hal eventually left her. Years later, Hal attempted to reconnect with his only remaining daughter, who was now a wife and mother. He offered much of the money he had made in the stock market to help Niki and her husband, D.L. Hawkins, raise their son, Micah Sanders. However, Hal later showed himself to be the same short-tempered man he has always been and was not accepted into the family's life. Later, Jessica, Niki's alternate personality, beat Hal up, gave him back the money he offered and told him never to come back.
Chandra Suresh
Chandra Suresh is Mohinder's late father, played by Erick Avari (although a photograph of him and Mohinder seen in "Genesis" shows a different actor). Suresh is the author of Activating Evolution, a book which appears to explain the reason so many people with powers are suddenly appearing. He found a means of tracking and locating potential powered people. He was also connected with Sylar, whom he referred to as "Patient Zero". On a taped telephone conversation from shortly before Chandra's death, however, he said he wanted nothing to do with Sylar, and insisted the man stop calling him. 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.
Shanti Suresh
Shanti Suresh is Chandra Suresh's daughter. She died at age five, before the series began. This severely affected her father, as the two were very close. In "Six Months Ago" Chandra Suresh said she had a genetic anomaly. Her death, along with several other factors, prompted him to begin his investigations into people with special powers. It is yet unknown what Shanti's special abilities were, if any. In "Parasite", Sylar mentions that Chandra had told him about Shanti.
Tina
"Texas" Tina, played by Deirdre Quinn, is the romance-novel-loving confidante of Niki Sanders who frequently takes care of Niki's son, Micah, and attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings with Niki. When Niki confided in Tina about having blackouts and possibly an alternate personality, Tina told her that her troubles stem from psychological damage as a result of her dealings with the mob. In "Better Halves", Tina finally meets and flees from Niki's alternate personality, Jessica, after Micah is taken away by D.L. Hawkins.
Zach
Zach, played by Thomas Dekker, is a high school classmate of Claire Bennet and one of the first people to know of her powers. Zach's MySpace profile describes him as an 18-year-old sophomore who is a Wiccan and unsure of his sexual orientation, a subject which forms the basis of ridicule by some of Claire's fellow cheerleaders. The show's creator, Tim Kring, intended for Zach to be gay,[21][22] but NBC has since stated that the character is heterosexual.[23]
In "Genesis", he videotapes Claire using her abilities. In "Homecoming", 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. 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. When Claire approaches him the following day, Zach doesn't remember having even spoken to her since sixth grade. Nevertheless, Claire convinces Zach to videotape her again in "Godsend" and is able to rekindle their friendship. Zach subsequently helps Claire track down her biological parents while also helping to keep her actions secret from her adopted parents.
Primatech employees
Hank and Lisa
Hank, played by Colby French, and Lisa, played by Karri Turner, claim to be a former couple and Claire Bennet's biological parents in "Better Halves". Mr. Bennet tells Claire that he has arranged through an adoption agency for Hank and his former girlfriend, Lisa, to meet Claire and answer her questions. Hank and Lisa tell Claire that they were high school sweethearts who split up before her birth. Hank wanted to keep Claire, while Lisa wanted to give her up for adoption. Hank tells Claire that he has a family history of heart disease and cancer, while Lisa reveals that she has diabetes, but neither tell Claire anything that explains how she got her healing powers. However, after the meeting, Mr. Bennet thanks Hank and Lisa for their assistance in a conspiratorial manner, and he later tells Isaac Mendez a story not involving Hank or Lisa about how Claire became his adopted daughter. In the episode "Godsend", it is revealed that Hank is actually a doctor working with Mr. Bennet to perform tests on Sylar. In "The Fix," Hank is killed by Sylar, who then escapes from containment at Primatech.
Thompson
Thompson, played by Eric Roberts, is an associate of Mr. Bennet at Primatech. This is a cover for his position as Bennet's superior in the as yet unnamed organization which investigates superhumans. The character was introduced in the graphic novel "How do you Stop an Exploding Man?" part two, and was named in Episode 17, "Company Man".
Candice Wilmer
Candice Wilmer, played by Missy Peregrym, is first introduced in "Company Man." She works for Primatech Paper. After The Haitian flees, she is assigned as Bennet's new partner. She has the ability to create illusions (allowing her to alter her appearance, and, to an unknown extent, the appearance of the environment around her). She first impersonates Simone, hiding Simone's real body from view, with an illusion, in order to thwart the investigation of police. She later impersonates Sandra Bennet in order to trick Mr. Bennet into confessing his true motives.
Members of the Linderman Group
Mr. Linderman
Mr. Linderman, at first an unseen character, later played by Malcolm McDowell, is a reputed mobster who has ties to several of the main characters. He is an avid chef and collector of art and antiquities, and is revealed to have the ability to heal other people in ".07%"[24][25]. In the series premiere, Linderman sends two thugs to Niki Sanders' home to collect on a loan she could not repay. When the thugs are killed, he sends a corrupt police officer to retrieve her in "One Giant Leap". In "Collision", one of Linderman's subordinates gives Niki the opportunity to repay her debt by being the bait in a badger game targeting Nathan Petrelli; Jessica, Niki's alternate personality, eventually complies. Nathan, however, realizes that Linderman needs him to win the congressional seat he was running for, and convinces Linderman's associate to "donate" $4 million to his campaign, rather than the originally agreed-upon $2 million, and suppress the tape.
In "Six Months Ago", Nathan and his brother Peter discuss their father's connection to Linderman, and agree not to interfere with or expose that relationship, despite Nathan's political aspirations. After an incident where Nathan is driven off the road by a mysterious truck, which he believes to have been sent by Linderman, Nathan and Peter decide to instead report their father's relationship. When their father dies shortly before they are scheduled to testify against him, the brothers decide to end their mission to expose Linderman.
Linderman purchases one of Isaac Mendez's paintings from Simone Deveaux. When Nathan inquires about it, Linderman sends it back to Simone's gallery. In "Godsend", Simone says that Linderman is one of her biggest clients, having purchased nearly every one of Isaac's works. He is also revealed to be in possession of a sword desired by Hiro Nakamura, who steals it from him with the help of Ando. Later on, in a meeting with him, Nathan holds a gun at Linderman, who is shown to have a hobby in cooking. Linderman subsequently reveals to him the extent of his knowledge regarding Nathan's, Peter's and Claire's powers, as well as those of many others, before offering him the victory in the election, as well as an eventual position in the White House.
He arranged for Niki Sanders' freedom, in exchange for Jessica's services as an assassin.
Aron Malsky
Aron Malsky, played by Kevin Chamberlin, is a lawyer formerly under the employ of the mysterious Mr. Linderman. He is first seen in "Godsend" when he visits D.L. Hawkins to retrieve the case of money stolen by Niki/Jessica. He later visits Niki in "Distractions" in the psych ward to notify her of her release, due to someone else supposedly confessing to her crimes. In "Run!," Matt Parkman becomes his personal bodyguard for the day while he's in California. Malsky then uses the two million dollars he retrieved from D.L. to buy diamonds for himself. Matt hears the jeweler's thoughts of a hitman sent by Linderman and tries to rush Malsky out of the building. The two are confronted by Jessica, and a chase ensues which ends with Jessica murdering Malsky by folding his body in half.
Sylar's victims
Charlie Andrews
Charlene "Charlie" Andrews, played 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 revealed to Hiro that she had recently developed a near perfect ability to quickly memorize any information, Sylar murders her in the diner's storeroom, removing her brain in the same manner as Sylar's other victims.[26] 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 Japan. Charlie ponders her feelings and tells Hiro that while she doesn't usually let people get close to her due to a blood clot in her brain that is killing her, he makes her feel happy and she loves him. However, when Hiro and Charlie are about to kiss, he is inadvertently teleported back to present day Japan and is unable to return.[10]
Mohinder Suresh later mentions the death of Charlene Andrews in Midland, Texas while talking on the phone about the list of names he found on his father's computer.

She describes her super hearing powers, saying that she could hear a rain storm from 40 miles away and the slightest change in someone's heart beat. Dale listens to rap to drown out many unwanted sounds, saying that it helps her to nullify her power. She was murdered by Sylar shortly after their meeting.
Zane Taylor
Zane Taylor, played by Ethan Cohn, seen in "Run!", 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 of Molecular manipulation, Sylar kills him. When Mohinder arrives later on, Sylar impersonates Zane and demonstrates Zane's power to liquify the toaster instantly.

James Walker
James Walker, father of Molly Walker, is seen briefly in "Don't Look Back" when his murdered body is discovered by police and FBI Investigators - he is frozen, his head is cut open, and his brain is missing, giving the viewers their first visual of what is to become Sylar's gruesome pattern. The cut-open head and missing brain are eventually discovered to be Sylar's treatment of those with powers rather than those without[27], suggesting that James had a power that Sylar coveted, though it is not known what power he possessed.
Jackie Wilcox
Jacqueline "Jackie" Wilcox, played by Danielle Savre, is a cheerleader and high school classmate of Claire Bennet. Although she claimed to be "BFF" (best friends forever) with Claire and once revealed plans to run for class president with "good deeds" as her platform, Jackie is an obnoxious rival and dramatic foil for Claire. Jackie repeatedly taunted Zach about his sexual orientation. She is also apparently jealous of Claire and Brody Mitchum, who described Jackie as a gossip. Jackie is eager to be the center of attention and took credit for a fire rescue Claire performed in "Genesis". In "Homecoming", Sylar mistook Jackie for Claire after having read of Jackie's faked heroism and killed her by telekinetically slicing open her skull. Jackie's last word, to Claire, was "Run".
Other characters

Steve R. Gustavson, played by Bill Fagerbakke, is a member of the Federal Gaming Commission in Las Vegas. He is introduced in "Run!" and further developed in "Unexpected". Hiro Nakamura and Ando Masahashi meet a crying showgirl named Hope, who claims to have had a bag containing her personal belongings stolen by her ex-boyfriend. Ando tells her that they will retrieve her bag for her and is directed to Gustavson's room. After a disagreement, Hiro and Ando split up. Ando retrieves the bag successfully, while Hiro overhears Hope speaking to someone on the phone about how she duped them into stealing the bag for her. She catches Hiro eavesdropping and locks him in a closet, making off with Ando and the bag. Hiro is then apprehended by Gustavson, and the two pursue Hope and Ando. Steve emphasizes to an optimistic Hiro the negative aspects of having a partner, possibly influencing his decision to send Ando back to Japan. When the two groups converge, Gustavson demands "my share" from Hope, referring to the bag full of casino chips. The two engage in a violent shootout while Hiro and Ando find themselves caught in the middle, but they are soon arrested by the Las Vegas Police.
Audrey Hanson
Audrey Hanson is an FBI agent, played by Clea DuVall, pursuing Sylar. Three months after Sylar begins his murder spree, Audrey catches sight of him in Chicago, but he eludes her by escaping on a subway after giving his cap and trenchcoat to an elderly man, whom Audrey shoots, mistaking him for Sylar.[28]
While investigating the murder of a family in Los Angeles three months later, Audrey initially becomes suspicious of Officer Matt Parkman when he finds the only survivor, Molly Walker, in a hidden room and then reveals that he knows the name of her suspect, Sylar. However, when Parkman convinces Hanson that he learned of these things through his telepathy, she asks him to help the FBI find Sylar. Later, Sylar unsuccessfully attempts to seize the girl 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.[29]
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. Audrey is exposed to a dangerously high amount of radiation while investigating the house of Theodore Sprague, whom she believes to be Sylar. She and Parkman find Sprague in the hospital with his dying wife, but Parkman persuades him to surrender.[19] However, Sprague escapes after being taken into custody by Homeland Security, and she again enlists Parkman's aid in hunting him down.[26] Audrey began to bond with Matt, to the extent of giving him advice on his relationship with his wife, though the episode "Fallout" also suggests that she was also becoming attracted to him.[14] Two weeks later in "Godsend", Audrey and Matt have the FBI raid Primatech Paper Company. However, they find nothing. Audrey's superior then threatens her position with the bureau. Disheartened, Audrey harshly tells Matt their partnership is over.
Hope
Hope, played by Missi Pyle, is a tall, blonde showgirl who works in Mr. Linderman's hotel. She is first seen in "Run!", where she meets Hiro Nakamura and Ando Masahashi and uses Ando's attraction to her to convince them to retrieve a bag from her alleged ex-boyfriend in one of the hotel rooms. However, the man in possession of the bag, Steve R. Gustavson, claims to be an agent of the State Gaming Commission. When Hiro overhears that she is just playing them to get the bag back she knocks him out and locks him in a closet. Hope's true intentions are revealed later due to Ando accidentally dumping out the contents of her bag, revealing numerous casino chips. She and Gustavson (revealed to be her partner in crime) have a heated confrontation over the casino chips with Hiro and Ando caught in the crossfire of the bullets. She is about to shoot Ando when Hiro reverses time, causing the bullet to change direction. She is bewildered at what happened but is instantly tackled by Gustavson. They are interrupted in their fight, as the police arrive and arrest her and her partner.
Sanjog Iyer
Sanjog Iyer, played by Javin Reid, is an Indian boy whom Chandra Suresh had been observing prior to leaving for New York. Chandra's notes described Iyer as having a genetic marker allowing the boy to enter people's dreams, where he acts as a "spirit guide" of sorts. He appeared in the visions that Mohinder Suresh experienced after returning to India with his father's ashes. After Mohinder found Sanjog, he explained to Mohinder that he does not enter the dreams of others but that they instead come to him.
- Note: 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.
Brody Mitchum
Brody Mitchum, played by Matt Lanter, is a classmate of Claire Bennet and quarterback on the football team at the fictional Union Wells High School. He first appears in "Don't Look Back".

He accidentally kills her during the struggle, but in "Collision", he is shaken to see her alive again. After Claire discovers that Brody has raped at least one other girl, she convinces him to let her drive them both home in his car but then rams the car headfirst into a brick wall. The on-line comic story for the episode reveals that Claire only wanted to frighten Brody into thinking twice before hurting anyone else, and she drags his unconscious body from the car when it catches fire and ultimately explodes.[30] When he wakes up and sees Claire unharmed, he realizes that she isn't a normal human being. After learning of the attempted rape of his daughter, an enraged Mr. Bennet has his associate, the Haitian, wipe out all of Brody’s memory.
