Additional family of the main characters

This list include every relative of the main characters to have been seen either in the TV series or in the graphic novels.

Lyle Bennet

Lyle Bennet 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 from their parents and to hand her the tape.[38] After Claire tells her father that Lyle knows about her powers, Mr. Bennet has the Haitian remove Lyle's memories about her healing abilities.[30] However, in the episode "Company Man" he becomes aware of her powers again. Four months later he begun a new life with the surname 'Butler', along with the rest of the family.[39] In a deleted scene from "Nothing to Hide," it is said that Lyle is also adopted, though whether this is considered a part of the show's canon is unknown. Joe Pokaski recently confirmed in a Q&A session that deleted scenes are NOT considered canon. [40] He is quoted stating "So for now, consider Lyle's true parentage undetermined."

Sandra Bennet

Sandra Bennet is Claire Bennet's adoptive mother and the wife of Noah Bennet. She has great affection for her pet pomeranian, Mr. Muggles. She does not seem to be aware of her husband's activities or her daughter's powers, and the Haitian has wiped her memories several times on her husband's orders.[30] However, after Claire met Hank and Lisa, Sandra told 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.[41]

Sylar tries to murder her, but she is saved by Mr. Bennet and the Haitian.[42] 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.[16] 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.[43]

She wasn't seen again until "Four Months Later…", in which she has begun a new life with the surname 'Butler', along with the rest of the family.

In the 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.

Damon Dawson

Damon Dawson is Monica's younger brother. When Micah comes to live with the Dawsons, Damon initially bullies him. But when Micah uses his power to tune in pay-per-view television, Damon starts to accept his cousin.

Nana Dawson

"Nana" Dawson is the grandmother to Monica and Damon Dawson, and is also Micah Sanders' Great Aunt. Niki Sanders turns to Nana for help.

Charles Deveaux

Charles Deveaux is the wealthy father of Simone Deveaux and a former patient of Peter Petrelli. After finding success via the stock market, he founded the Deveaux Society to "fund causes that bettered the world."[44] He owns the Deveaux Building, the rooftop of which is a frequently-visited location in the series. Simone believes that Peter is "like a son" to him and that Charles has improved under Peter's care. Charles converses with Peter in the young nurse's dream about having the power of flight. After Peter wakes up, Simone tells Peter that Charles has passed away. Simone also tells Peter that, before dying, Charles said that he had flown with Peter, who said, "everything was going to be all right," and that there were heroes who were going to save the world.

Charles appeared, whether as a dream figure, as part of a time-travel journey of Peter's, or by some other mechanism is left deliberately unclear — and seemed able to see Peter while the latter is invisible to others in the dream (Such as his mother and Simone).[45]. Charles was part of a previous generation of "heroes", with Angela Petrelli and Kaito Nakamura, and he seemed to be aware of Linderman's and Angela Petrelli's plot. However, he seemed to be quietly opposed to their machinations, and firmly believed that Peter's love and compassion, rather than Nathan's ambition, would save the world.[44].

In season 2, Kaito implies that Charles' death may have been due to foul play, rather than by succumbing to his illness.

Virginia Gray

Virginia Gray is Sylar's mother. She appears in the episode "The Hard Part", during which Sylar visits her. She is a devout Christian, and has an affinity for snow globes. During their meeting, she constantly pushes Sylar to "be special," even saying that he could become President if he wanted to. Sylar reveals his powers, accidentally injuring his mother, and confesses his guilt since he thinks he will be the exploding man and kill a lot of people. 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.

Paulette Hawkins

Paulette Hawkins is the mother of D.L. Hawkins, and Micah's grandmother. Her relationship to Niki is tense, questioning her ability to raise Micah. Paulette is convinced that D.L. was framed for killing his crew.

Mr. Muggles

Mr. Muggles is the Bennet family's Pomeranian dog, which Sandra Bennet used to show-breed and enter in dog shows until the family went into hiding in the second season. Sandra claims that he refuses to have anything to do with dogs that have "poo" in their names. In the unaired 72-minute pilot, Sandra says that her friend said Mr. Muggles wasn't "sexy enough". Once Sandra told to her family how Mr. Muggles would want everyone in California to know of his awards and accomplishments.[39]

Kaito Nakamura

Kaito Nakamura is a stern and powerful businessman in Japan and the father of Hiro Nakamura. He is described as a man with "real power" by his underlings. Mr. Nakamura does not want Hiro going around the United States trying to fulfill his "destiny". In reference to Takei's role as Hikaru Sulu in the original Star Trek television series, the license plate on Mr. Nakamura's limousine has the same number, NCC-1701, as the registration number of the Starship Enterprise.

This characterization of a strict Japanese patriarch is promptly turned upside down. In "Company Man", he is shown working with Thompson for the organization behind Primatech nearly fifteen years before the events of the series' present. He ordered Noah Bennet to adopt Claire on the provision that if she exhibits any abilities she is to be turned over to The Company. It is revealed that not only had he been waiting for someone on the Nakamura line to manifest and has known of Hiro's powers for a long time, but that he once had allies who also had powers.[25] Mr. Nakamura is on Hiro's side in the attempt to stop Sylar, in direct opposition to the Linderman group. He spends some time training his son in swordsmanship using wooden bokken, revealing that he was once a part of a group of heroes.

When Ando Masahashi is teleported to Yamagato, Kaito informs him that his position has been filled and that he can take Hiro's old post. When Ando asks about Hiro's return, Kaito says that there is no need to cross a bridge before needed.

After receiving a marked photograph of himself hidden in his newspaper, he realizes that he is doomed to die. Upon sending Ando off to retrieve a sword, Kaito meets with Angela Petrelli, who had been similarly threatened. That evening, Kaito is thrown off the roof of the Deveaux building by a hooded individual whom he recognizes. Ando returns just as Kaito is thrown over, and sees his body in the street - but not that of his assailant.[39]

Kimiko Nakamura

Kimiko Nakamura is the daughter of Kaito and older sister of Hiro. She is very intelligent and motivated, and wishes to advance in her father's company, Yamagato Industries. She accompanies her father to New York to retrieve Hiro.[42] She gets along with her brother, in comparison to his and their father's strained relationship, as evidenced by the way Kimiko's pleas and reasoning get much further than Kaito's authoritative tactics (up to and including kidnapping). Hiro convinced his father that Yamagato has a successor in Kimiko.

Later at Yamagato Industries, after the events of "How to Stop an Exploding Man", Ando says hello to Kimiko excitedly, but Kimiko greets him coldly, telling him that he should be getting back to work. Kimiko exits her office after 9:00 pm, and Ando, who was waiting for her all day, asks her if he could walk her home. She agrees, and they exit together. Outside, they encounter a group of sword-bearing bikers.

Kimiko will return to the series in Episode 9 of Season 2. [47]

Janice Parkman

Janice Parkman is the ex-wife of telepathic police officer Matt Parkman. Their marriage has been troubled for some time, with both becoming increasingly distant. 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. Matt discovers that she 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 with whom his wife cheated.[39] Matt Parkman saw a vision of his wife in a dream sequence or illusion created by his father (Maury Parkman), in which was a holding a baby and saying that Matt left his son just like his father left him.

In the future of "Five Years Gone", it is revealed Janice and Matt bore a son whom they named Matthew and who presumably also has special powers. In the alternate future, Mr. Bennet had been running a relocation program for people with special powers, and had been in contact with Janice and Matthew Jr., as part of some arrangement with Matt Sr.

Angela Petrelli

Main article: Angela Petrelli

Arthur Petrelli

Arthur[48] Petrelli is the deceased father of Nathan Petrelli and Peter Petrelli, and through Nathan, the biological grandfather of Claire Bennet. Under the alias "Dallas" He fought in the Vietnam War alongside Linderman and was the first of his unit to know about Linderman's healing powers. After the war, Petrelli and Linderman decided to form a group that would help the world. Linderman reveals to Nathan that because of various misuses of power by members of the group, became disillusioned and gave up trying to save the world.

Heidi Petrelli

Heidi Petrelli is Nathan Petrelli's wife and is involved with his strategies for his bid for congressional office. She uses a wheelchair for mobility after being paralyzed in a car crash six months ago caused by Linderman's accomplices while Nathan was driving. Nathan, while trying to control the car, suddenly found himself flying for the first time. Tragically, he couldn't figure out how to get back down to his car and the car crashed into a highway barrier. During a brunch set up by her mother-in-law, an invited journalist implies that Nathan may have cheated on her with a blonde during his trip to Las Vegas to see Mr. Linderman. She doubts Peter's story with an innocent explanation of the woman, but when Nathan confirms it in private, she believes him. Heidi says that she is determined to recover but only if Nathan is true to her. Heidi remained unseen for most of the season. She did, however, return to the Petrelli mansion in Manhattan with her and Nathan's two sons, Monty and Simon.[49]. Heidi has yet to meet Claire and is currently unaware that she exists and that she is Nathan's illegitimate daughter. Even though his men reportedly put her in this condition, Linderman heals Heidi, who now can walk again.[25]

It is revealed that Nathan drove Heidi away.[39] She currently resides in Washington D.C., where Monty and Simone attend a private school.[17]

Simon & Monty Petrelli

Simon and Monty Petrelli are the juvenile sons of Nathan and Heidi, seen participating Petrelli campaign during the 2006 election.

Following the presumed death of Peter, Nathan's depression and heavy drinking caused Heidi to leave Nathan, taking their sons with her. They currently live and attend a private school in Washington D.C.[17]

Hal Sanders

Hal Sanders 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 (after Micah took apart the laptop that Hal had given him) and was not accepted into the family's life. Later Niki's alternate personality, calling itself "Jessica", 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, as well as 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.

Mrs. Suresh

Mrs. Suresh is Mohinder's mother and Chandra Suresh's widow. Following Chandra's funeral, she told Mohinder of his sister Shanti, who died prior to his birth. She expresses wishes that Mohinder would give up his father's research and return home to India to reunite with his former girlfriend Mira.

Shanti Suresh

  • Only appearing in photos

Shanti Suresh is Chandra Suresh's daughter. She died at age five while Mohinder Suresh, whose blood actually possessed the antibodies she needed to survive, was still unborn. Chandra Suresh said she had a genetic anomaly.[27] Her death, along with several other factors, prompted Chandra Suresh to begin his investigations into people with special powers. Sylar also knows about Shanti from Chandra.[43] Mohinder was not aware of her existence until his mother told him.[33]

This list include 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 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. 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.[50][51][52][53]

He videotapes Claire using her abilities.[54] 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.[55] 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 and is able to rekindle their friendship.[26] Zach subsequently helps Claire track down her biological parents while also helping to keep her actions secret from her adoptive parents.

Tina

"Texas" Tina 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 confides in Tina about having blackouts and possibly an alternate personality, Tina tells her that her troubles stem from psychological damage as a result of her dealings with the mob.

While investigating the murder of a family in Los Angeles three months later, Audrey initially gets to know Officer Matt Parkman. He reveals her his power ability to read people's minds and 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.[57]

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.[38] However, Sprague escapes after being taken into custody by Homeland Security, and she again enlists Parkman's aid in hunting him down.[33] Audrey begins to bond with Matt, to the extent of giving him advice on his relationship with his wife, and she looks to become attracted to him.[30] Two weeks later, Audrey and Matt have the FBI raid Primatech Paper Company.[26] However, they find nothing. Audrey's superior then threatens her position with the bureau. Disheartened, Audrey harshly tells Matt their partnership is over. Audrey re-appears in the penultimate episode for the season and arrests Sprague on a tip from Sylar (posing as Isaac Mendez). After Sprague is killed, she is seen at the accident site. When a police officer remarks on how the top of someone's head falls off, she walks by and replies, "You don't want to know."

Jackie Wilcox

Jacqueline "Jackie" Wilcox 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 taunts 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 takes credit for a fire rescue Claire performed in "Genesis". Sylar mistakes Jackie for Claire after having read of Jackie's faked heroism and kills her by telekinetically slicing open her skull. Jackie's last word to Claire is "run".[55]

His later appearances show him recruiting Mohinder Suresh into the company, and informing Mohinder of Molly Walker's condition.[21]

Back at Primatech, Matt Parkman is able to extract the name Linderman from Thompson's head. When Parkman questioned Mr. Bennet as to whether or not Linderman was who they worked for, Bennet seemed totally oblivious to the fact that Linderman had any connections to the company. During a conversation with Nathan Petrelli, Thompson reveals that he knows and approves of the plans to blow up New York.[49] When Nathan implies that Linderman doesn't have the situation under control, Thompson reassures him that Linderman does.
