.
In the graphic novels "From the Files of Primatech: 1963", Charles and the young founders approach a folk musician named Chris Coolidge in New York City while in the search for other founders of the Company. They also meet a young, runaway Kaito Nakamura at the concert, where Chris uses his ability of enhanced synesthesia to lure people to hear his music, but the police enter the scene, so Chris causes an uprising with his ability that ultimately turns into a chaotic and violent scenario. The founders convince him to stop the riot but Chris is killed while attempting to calm the people.

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.

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.

She helps Claire to admit that, contrary to her claims, she wants to be trained so that she can help people and 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 and burning herself up in the process.

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.

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 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

to a remote area in South America and cares for him there until she is eventually killed by him.
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." 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.
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, 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 could not.
, has the ability of alchemy

This can also be used as an offensive weapon; in one instance he turns a man's arm into gold, not only rendering it useless but also causing great pain. 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 criticizes 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.
In the graphic novels "From the Files of Primatech", Bob is seen as a Company founder, being involved in the decision making along with the others.
In "From the Files of Primatech: 1991", after Elle
caused a blackout in Athens, Ohio
, her mother sent her to New York
so Bob would deal with her. Bob asked the help of Charles Deveaux, taking a fatherly approach, but ended up taking Dr. Jonas Zimmerman's advice: treat Elle as any other posthuman and test her abilities. During one of these tests, Bob tried to calm the weeping Elle, turning her smoothie's straw into gold, but this backfired as it allowed Elle to accidentally shock her father. After this, Elle escaped and Bob enlisted Noah Bennet
to go after Elle.
, is the twin brother of Maya Herrera
. Alejandro has the ability to absorb and neutralize his sister's poison emission; to do so, he must make physical contact with Maya and calm her down.

, 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.
In the graphic novel "From the Files of Primatech, Part 4: 1978", Arthur introduces Maury to the other Company founders as Charles Devaux's replacement on the assignment to track their own people, just like Mindy Sprague who has fled from their radar with his son.

, by Adam Monroe
and Peter Petrelli

However, after she attempts to shoot Peter in the head, Monroe kills her and leaves a death-threat photo on her body.

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. On the Evs Dropper blog, Bailey expressed regret that she was unable to aid in the war against Evs alongside her partner.

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 getting 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 did not 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.
In "Brave New World
", Doyle is called in to control Emma when she refuses to draw thousands of people to the Carnival in Central Park. Doyle successfully forces Emma to draw the people and takes control of Sylar
when he shows up to save Emma. He controls the two, but gets distracted with Sylar and accidentally releases Emma who stops playing and blasts him with her power allowing Sylar to defeat him. Doyle begs Sylar to stop as Sylar's like him, but Sylar responds with "no, I'm a hero." It's shown later that Sylar strung him up in lights rather than kill him.

, 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 will not 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.

', 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.
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; 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 will not be useful once the formula is distributed, but is frozen and shattered by Tracy Strauss as he is about to kill Nathan Petrelli.

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
and he dies while still in Sylar's form. Later, after Matt compels Sylar to believe that he is the now-deceased Nathan, his body (still in Sylar's form) is cremated in order to give the impression to the other Heroes that Sylar is dead. He is portrayed by Bill Hooper

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.

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, 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.

According to Janice, he got his powers during the last eclipse which stripped away the others' powers, including his father's. He is able to turn on and operate a television that had been unplugged, operate several mechanical toys, and even partially restore Hiro Nakamura

Arthur Petrelli, portrayed by Robert Forster
, is the husband of Angela Petrelli
, the father of Nathan Petrelli
and Peter Petrelli
, and the biological grandfather of Claire Bennet
. Angela has stated that she and Arthur have gone through "great lengths" to protect Claire. He has the power to take the abilities of other posthumans through physical contact. Once he takes an ability, he cannot return it. The known powers he has taken are telepathy from an unknown source, though hinted at being Charles Deveaux; the regenerative abilities of Adam Monroe
; Peter's empathic mimicry and the powers he absorbed as a result, including the Haitian
's mental manipulation; Maya Herrera
's poison emission; and Hiro Nakamura's time manipulation. Arthur's range of powers is such that he can overcome the Haitian's dampening powers after a short period, though not without significant effort.
Arthur fought in the Vietnam War
under the code name
"Dallas" alongside Linderman. After the war, Petrelli and Linderman "were brought together" into a group of twelve by Adam Monroe, with a mission to help save the world. Linderman tells Nathan that Arthur became disillusioned and gave up trying to save the world, resulting in his alleged suicide. It is revealed in the third season that Angela actually poisoned Arthur because of his attempt on Nathan's life. He secretly survived, but was left paralyzed due to nerve damage from the poison.
He is the primary antagonist of the third volume, "Villains," where he is first revealed to be alive. He is in charge of the Pinehearst Company, recruiting various 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 Arthur's paralysis and killing Adam. He is shown to be ruthless in this endeavor, killing any who oppose him. For example, he snaps Maury Parkman's neck without hesitation when he protests the order to kill Matt. Arthur is killed during a confrontation with Sylar
, Peter, and the Haitian
in "Our Father
." As the Haitian suppresses Arthur's powers, Peter tries to shoot Arthur in the head, but Sylar stops the bullet. After Sylar uses his ability of lie detection
to discover that Arthur is not really his father, Sylar drives the bullet into Arthur's head, killing him.
In the graphic novel "From the Files of Primatech, Part 4: 1978", Arthur has already joined the Company founders. After Mindy Sprague used her ability to stop a meltdown at Three Mile Island, PA

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.
, and is the half-brother of the Haitian. 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.

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, 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 whoever 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.

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 lie low.
", he is shown as a 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

", 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 (first seen in the episode "1961
" as the diner's chef); 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 shows 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. It's later revealed in "Brave New World

, 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. Her doctor (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, producing beautiful music. 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

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 a tiara from Megan for Emma, who considers her as special to her. Although she cannot forgive herself for Christopher's 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 Sullivan
. He explains to Emma that he needs her to find someone for him. Once at 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 a siren", and he gives a compass to her. In "Close to You
", Emma uses this new application of her siren song ability to summon Peter to her apartment and explains about Samuel. After comparing the compass on her cello to his compass tattoo, Peter takes her to his apartment and she identifies Samuel from a newspaper article Peter has. Emma then meets Angela
when she shows up and leaves due to Angela's attitude. Angela reveals that she had a dream where Emma is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people and that Peter cannot save her but someone else can. Peter copies her power and has a prophetic dream that night where Emma is crying and playing the cello in the Carnival's House of Mirrors with people screaming outside before Sylar shows up and offers her his help. As a result of this dream, Peter goes to Emma's apartment and smashes her cello. She responds by ordering him to leave and ending their friendship. In "The Art of Deception
", Peter has a more explicit dream, in which he sees Eric Doyle manipulating Emma to play the cello, even with her fingers bleeding; he tries to find Emma, but she is unreachable. That night, Emma arrives to the carnival after the gunshots, and witnesses the damage all around her. She gets to Samuel and immediately attends his wound. Samuel states she will help him create a new world. In "The Wall

Emma refuses to play, but is forced to by Eric Doyle. Emma's playing draws thousands of people to the Carnival and her fingers end up turning bloody. Sylar
shows up to help, but he too is controlled by Doyle. During his confrontation with Sylar, Doyle accidentally releases Emma and she uses the opportunity to blast him with her powers while he's distracted, allowing Sylar to defeat him and tie him up like a puppet. After its all over, Emma reunites with Peter and hugs him before telling him Doyle controlled her and Sylar saved her.
", with the ability to restore, heal and distort other people memories. By orders of Samuel

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 cannot kill Captain Lubbock, Edgar rushes into the Hall of Mirrors

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 Noah at his apartment, but Noah was expecting him and shocks him down. With 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 focused 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.
In "The Art of Deception
", after Lydia died, Edgar rushes in Samuel´s trailer to find her corpse. He blames Noah Bennet and rejoins Samuel's side.
In "Brave New World

(affectionately referring to her as "Angie").

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).

Initially, Rachel was unaware of who Leona was but, even when Leona used her ability to age herself and make her look un-recognizably old, Rachel recognized 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.

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.

(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).

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-recognizably old, Rachel recognized 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.

The duplicate claims that she's never met the real Julien, it's been him all along.
