Additional family of the main characters
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. After Claire tells her father that Lyle knows about her powers, Mr. Bennet has the Haitian remove Lyle's memories about her healing abilities. 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. 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.
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. 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.
Charles Deveaux, DECEASED
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." 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). 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. In season 2, Kaito implies that Charles' death may have been due to foul play, rather than by sucumbing to his illness.
Virginia Grey, DECEASED
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 is the mother of D.L. Hawkins, and Micah's grandmother. Her relationship to Niki is tense, questioning her ability to raise Micha. Paulette is convinced that D.L. was framed for killing his crew.
Kaito Nakamura, DECEASED
Kaito Nakamura is a stern and powerful businessman in Japan and the father of Hiro Nakamura. He appears at the very end of "The Fix" and in "Distractions" when his subordinates abduct Hiro and Ando. 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. 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.
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. 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.
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. 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
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. In "Parasite," it is revealed that she is the person whom The Haitian has been secretly working for. She finally meets her granddaughter at Peter's apartment and reveals to Claire that she has been trying to protect her.
Heidi Petrelli
Heidi Petrelli is Nathan Petrelli's wife and is involved with his strategies for his bid for congressional office. She first appears in "Nothing to Hide". 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. 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. It is revealed that Nathan drove Heidi away.
Hal Sanders
Hal Sanders, played by Graham Beckel, is the estranged father of Niki and Jessica Sanders.
Chandra Suresh, DECEASED
Chandra Suresh is Mohinder's late father, played by Erick Avari. 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, DECEASED
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.
Additional season 1 characters
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, but NBC has since stated that the character is heterosexual.
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.
Jackie Wilcox, DECEASED
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".
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". During a celebratory bonfire in "One Giant Leap", Brody and Claire wander off to the bleachers, where Brody attempts to rape Claire. 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. 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. Brody, severely injured, is later seen in a wheelchair attending Homecoming.
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.
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.
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. However, Sprague escapes after being taken into custody by Homeland Security, and she again enlists Parkman's aid in hunting him down. 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. 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.

Rather than cooperate with treatment, Jessica broke free of her restraints and brutally beat Dr. Witherson, breaking her wrist and repeatedly attacking her with a taser.
James Walker, DECEASED
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, suggesting that James had a power that Sylar coveted, though it is not known what power he possessed.
Steve R. Gustavson
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.

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.
