'''The Company''', also referred to by its cover name '''Primatech''', is a clandestine organization that has an interest in [[bag and tag|locating and tracking]] [[evolved humans]]. The original purpose of the Company was to prevent the existence of evolved humans from becoming public knowledge and to make sure the [[Coyote Sands|past]] was never repeated. Some time after [[Claire Bennet]] [[revelation of evolved humans|revealed]] the existence of evolved humans to the world, Primatech was taken over by [[Renautas]].
'''The Company''' has an interest in locating and tracking [[evolved humans|people]] with special [[abilities]].


==About==
==About==
The Company was founded in [[1977]] by a group of [[group of 12|twelve individuals]]. It uses cover companies (e.g. [[Primatech Paper Co]]), to conceal their illicit operations, or provided support or resources for whatever reason. The standard operating protocol involves Company agents to [[bag and tag|locate and track]] [[evolved humans]], letting some go but keeping the ones they deem dangerous locked away, or even killing those who are deemed too great a risk.
Mr. Bennet worked for the Company from 1991 to 2006. He was a regional manager and the branch he ran was called [[Primatech Paper Co.]] His immediate superior has been [[Thompson]] from the time he was hired, but he has also taken direct orders from Mr. [[Kaito Nakamura]] to raise [[Claire]] as his own child. He tells [[Matt Parkman]] that he doesn't work for any organization with initials, so it is not part of any publicly known government agency.


The Company has two main tracking systems. Mr. Bennet's division [[the mark|marked]] people with special abilities with an isotope which can be later used by a satellite to track and find them. In certain cases, Mr. Bennet's division also trains those individuals to assist the Company. Those cases whose power becomes a threat/problem are eliminated. The second system is a girl named [[Molly Walker]] that has an [[clairvoyance|innate ability]] to find people. Mr. Bennet's superior, [[Thompson]], took orders from [[Mr. Linderman]], who had been planning the events surrounding the explosion with [[Angela Petrelli]] and others for an extended period of time.
The Company has two main tracking systems. One division [[mark|marks]] people with special abilities with an isotope which can be later used by a [[satellite]] to track and find them (though this satellite has now been destroyed). In certain cases, this division also trains those individuals to assist the Company. The second "system" was a girl named [[Molly Walker]] who has an innate ability to [[clairvoyance|find people]], but she has now left the Company. [[Mr. Bennet|Mr. Bennet's]] superior, [[Thompson]], took orders from [[Daniel Linderman]], who, along with [[Angela Petrelli]] and others, had been planning the events surrounding the explosion for an extended period of time.


Since Linderman's death or even before, [[Bob Bishop]] has been running the operations of the Company.
Since [[Linderman|Linderman's]] death or even before, [[Bob Bishop]] has been running the operations of the Company. Due to Bob's [[Alchemy|ability]], the Company is not stressed with financial concerns. Among other items, agents are known to have access to standard-issue clothing, guns, [[night vision goggles]], [[tasers]], and transportation. In addition, each agent receives a Company expense account to purchase other non-Company items.

Besides field agents, the Company also employs internal affairs agents, scientists and doctors. At Primatech Research, [[Donna Dunlap]] worked for a time in internal affairs. While performing an investigation, she used the services of a research library, medical examiner, chemical analyst, and ballistics.

The Company works to study and [[the mark|tag]] [[evolved humans]]. [[Mr. Bennet]], a regional manager who runs a [[Primatech Paper Co.|company facility]] in [[Odessa, TX]], studies new cases, looks into the research of the recently deceased [[Chandra Suresh]], and attempts to stop the evolved serial killer [[Sylar]]--while at the same time attempting to defy the Company by protecting his own adopted daughter from them. His assistant, a seemingly mute [[Haitian]], reveals that he is also trying to protect [[Claire]]. Another agent, [[Eden McCain]], comes to reject the Company's mission, and in the end sacrifices herself to stop Sylar from gaining her ability. [[Isaac Mendez]], a [[precognition|precognitive]] artist, works with the Company. He attempts to stop [[Peter Petrelli]], whom Isaac believes will cause a foreseen [[explosion]] in [[New York City]], but is eventually [[Sylar's victims|killed]] by Sylar.

===[[Four Months Later...]]===
===[[Season Two]]===
{{season summary|season=Two}}
At a [[Cairo restaurant|restaurant]], [[Bob]] tells [[Mohinder]] of the Company's formation [[1977|thirty years ago]] by a group of [[evolved humans]] who wanted to help their own, find them and protect them, even if it meant "eliminating" the dangerous ones. He explains that the Company is aware that Mohinder has [[Molly Walker]], yet has no interest in interfering. Instead he tells Mohinder that if he works with the Company then they will fund his research into the deadly [[Shanti virus|virus]] afflicting [[evolved humans]].
The Company is now run by [[Bob]], who approaches [[Mohinder]] after a speech to offer him a job with the Company. After demonstrating his [[alchemy|ability]], Mohinder agrees to help further research the [[Shanti virus]] that affects [[evolved humans]]. Bob assigns Mohinder to go find [[the Haitian]] and cure him of the virus using his blood's antibodies, then bring him back. However, Mohinder [[mental manipulation|forgets]] ever leaving New York, and Bob realizes that Mohinder's cure works. Mohinder later arrives at [[Isaac's loft]], where Bob tells Mohinder that this is his lab. Mohinder is later sent to bring in [[Monica]] and observe [[adoptive muscle memory|her ability]]. Bob asks Mohinder to inject her with a strain of the virus that should negate her abilities without killing her, but Mohinder objects. Bob apologizes, then assigns [[Niki]] as Mohinder's partner.


After various [[Company founders]] are killed, [[Nathan]] and [[Matt]] go to [[Primatech Research]] to warn Bob, and the three, Mohinder and Niki devise a plan to stop [[Maury]], who has targeted Bob. Maury [[telepathy|turns]] Niki against Bob and Mohinder, but she stops herself by injecting herself with the virus. Matt stops Maury and saves [[Molly]] from Maury, rendering Maury unconscious and in Company supervision. Bob shows Company surveillance of [[Peter]], which shows Nathan that Peter survived the [[explosion]]. Bob suggests to Mohinder that they use [[Claire]]'s blood to help save Niki from the virus by combining her [[regeneration|regenerative blood]] with his antibodies. Mohinder admits to Bob that he is plotting with [[Noah]] to stop the Company, and Bob gives him a weapon.
The [[Bennet (disambig)|Bennets]], now known as the "Butlers", are hiding from the Company in [[Costa Verde, CA]]. They are all instructed by [[Noah]] to not stand out in any way. This upsets [[Mr. Muggles]] and [[Claire]], who find it hard not to be extraordinary. During their family dinner, Noah receives a phone call from [[Mohinder Suresh]], who has been recruited by [[Bob]] to research the [[virus]]. Noah is pleased with this, for they plan to take down the company once and for all.


Four months prior, Bob and Elle take in Peter after the [[explosion]]. Using [[power negation pills]], they keep him in a [[Peter's cell|cell]] to protect others. His cell is next to [[Adam]]'s [[Adam's cell|cell]], and the two talk. Adam convinces Peter to stop taking the pills and use his [[empathic mimicry|ability]] to help the two escape and save Nathan, who is in the hospital after the explosion. After injecting Nathan with Adam's regenerative blood, Adam and Peter are tracked down by Elle and [[the Haitian]]. Adam escapes, but the Haitian [[mental manipulation|erases]] Peter's memory and locks him in a shipping container.
===[[Lizards]]===
[[Claire]] continues to voice her displeasure at "laying low" from the Company, but [[Noah]] explains that his job is to keep their family safe no matter what it requires. Claire understands and tells him that it must be difficult to live such a normal life after the life he was living before with the Company. Noah tells her that their current life is a nice vacation compared to before.


Mohinder is partnered with [[Elle]] and the two are assigned to kill [[Noah]]. Meanwhile, Bob attempts to capture Claire for her regenerative blood. Noah and [[West]] knock out Mohinder and capture Elle, then arrange a switch for Claire. After taking Claire's blood, Bob and Mohinder bring Claire to Noah and West, while Elle is returned to her father. Noah is shot in the eye, while Claire and West escape.
In [[Hartsdale, NY]], [[Mohinder]] enters [[Bob]]'s [[Bob's office|office]]. Mohinder tells Bob that he needs access to the Company's records and labs. Bob agrees, but tells him that he's got his first assignment for him already and needs him to fly out to [[Port-au-Prince, Haiti|Port-au-Prince]] to visit a man they suspect may be infected with [[Shanti virus|the virus]]. Mohinder tells Bob that he'll go and test this individual and bring him back if he was infected. Bob reminds Mohinder that his blood is currently the only cure for the virus and to try not to get killed.


Noah is revived with Claire's [[regeneration|blood]], and is kept in a [[Noah's cell|Company cell]]. Elle is given the task of watching Claire, but is caught by Claire. She threatens to expose the Company, but is discouraged by Noah, who Claire thought was dead. Meanwhile, Mohinder uses his blood's antibodies and Claire's regenerative blood to create a cure for the virus. He goes to save Niki, but receives a call from [[Sylar]], who is with [[Molly]]. Mohinder goes to his apartment, and Sylar holds Mohinder, Molly and [[Maya]] hostage until he is cured. Mohinder finds that Sylar was infected with the same strain of the virus as Niki, and steals the cure from Mohinder before Elle can stop him.
In Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Mohinder finds [[the Haitian]] laying sick in bed. Mohinder explains that it's likely he's got a rare virus and may be able to cure him. After Mohinder's blood works, Mohinder explains that he works for "a company", the Haitian remarks that there's always "a company." Suddenly, the Haitian is gone and Bob is standing in front of Mohinder's desk asking him where the Haitian is. Mohinder expresses confusion and suggests that he's in Haiti. Bob explains that they're in Haiti right now and that Mohinder has been out of contact for hours. Confused, Mohinder explains the last thing he remembers is being in Bob's office and being given an envelope. Bob explains that the Haitian wouldn't have been able to [[Mental manipulation|erase]] Mohinder's memory unless the vaccine had worked.


After getting the location of Strain 138 from [[Victoria Pratt]], Adam and Peter infiltrate the Company's Odessa facility, beating up the Company guards and Adam retrieves the virus and tries to release it as Hiro teleports him away. In time, Nathan convinces Peter of the truth and he [[telekinesis|stops]] the virus and [[induced radioactivity|destroys it]].
Claire visits her father at [[Copy Kingdom]] about her car being stolen. He takes the opportunity to tell her that he needs to be able to trust her and that she can't afford to make mistakes like this or else she'll be found by the Company. She tells him that she doesn't even know exactly how she's able to do what she can do and what the limits of her ability are, and that she may be missing an opportunity to help people. He tells her that he's protecting her because if someone gets a hold of her she'll be in for a life of agonizing tests and research.


===[[Season Three]]===
Mohinder gets a call from Noah and Noah asks if Mohinder's trip was productive. Mohinder replies that he'll have the answer very shortly. Mohinder explains that it doesn't appear he's raised any suspicion and that Bob seemed more disappointed in himself for having trusted Mohinder so completely, however that the Company is going to watch him more closely from now on. Noah tells him that he'll find the rest of [[series of eight|the paintings]] himself now and that Mohinder's given him just what he needs. Noah greets a customer, the Haitian, welcoming him to Copy Kingdom.
{{season summary|season=Three}}
[[Sylar]] steals [[Noah Bennet]]'s old files on the prisoners kept on [[Level 5]] of [[Primatech Research]]. He comes to Primatech to steal the prisoners' powers, and kills [[Bob]].

A dozen prisoners escape. [[Angela]] takes control of the Company from Bob and fires Elle for causing the escape. Angela tells Sylar, who has been captured, that she is his mother, so she can use him to recapture the escapees. She hands agent [[Bridget Bailey]] over to Sylar so he can steal her ability of [[clairsentience]].


Noah returns to the Company in order to recapture the escapees. Sylar is assigned as his partner, as the Haitian is busy. Noah and Sylar go to a bank robbery involving some of the escapees.

The Haitian captures Ando and [[Hiro]], and blocks Hiro's power so he cannot escape. Hiro nearly gets away, when the Haitian walks in and takes them to see Angela. Angela sends Hiro to dig up [[Adam Monroe]], as he may know about the people that stole the formula.

Angela tells [[Nathan]] and [[Tracy]] that the Company gave synthetic powers to them and Tracy's sisters. [[Arthur Petrelli]] appears to Angela in a dream and prevents her from moving. Daphne penetrates Level 5 and frees and attempts to recruit Flint and Sylar. Flint accepts. Sylar finds Angela unconscious, and wakes up Peter who sees the [[Pinehearst]] logo in Angela's mind. Peter defeats Sylar and hooks him up to the same drugs that kept Peter unconscious, then goes to Pinehearst. Angela enters Sylar's dream and tells him and encourages him to wake up and save Peter.
[[Mohinder]] mentions to [[Matt]] that he'll be working downtown, but Matt tells him that it's not good to do spy work against the Company while Molly is around, and that he may be in over his head. Mohinder later arrives at [[Isaac's loft]], where [[Bob]] tells Mohinder that Sylar killed [[Isaac]], and now the Company bought the loft to outfit it with lab equipment for Mohinder. Bob further explains that the Company is observing him for Mohinder and the Company's best interest, and tells him he's part of the family.


[[Matt]] and [[Daphne]] turn to the Company to help fight Pinehearst. Matt enters Angela's mind in an attempt to wake her up. So does Arthur, as Daphne tipped him off. Angela plays into Arthur's heart and convinces him to release her. Angela then discusses the formula with Matt, Daphne, Nathan, Peter, and [[Claire]]. Claire realizes that she is the catalyst, the missing part of the formula. Angela sends Matt to get Hiro, Nathan to get the Haitian, and Noah and Claire to hide. Peter and Nathan succeed in getting the Haitian, but after seeing [[Baron Samedi]], Nathan decides to defect to Pinehearst.
Sylar mentions to [[Michelle]] (formerly [[Candice]]) that he can't [[telekinesis|move things]] or [[cryokinesis|freeze things]]. She tells him that the Company will help and when his chest heals, he'll be able to use his abilities.


Sixteen years earlier, [[Kaito Nakamura]] gives Claire to Noah to raise. Kaito then attempts to take Claire back temporarily so the catalyst can be hidden in her. Present-day Claire tells Noah not to answer the Company's phone call, while present-day Hiro has [[Ishi]] give him the catalyst.
Claire and West sit on a beach and talk about their abilities, and after the two kiss, she notices [[the mark|marks]] on his neck, and he pulls away. West talks about when his family lived in [[St. Louis]], he was riding his bike from school one day, then woke up a day later. West recalls a man with [[HRG|horn rimmed glasses]] that knew his name and looked at him like West was animal.


In the present, Angela sends Peter and the Haitian to kill Arthur. Though Peter nearly succeeds, it is Sylar who finishes the job after learning that Arthur is not his father. Having found out the truth, Sylar raids Primatech Research, and traps Angela, Noah, Claire, and [[Meredith]] inside. Sylar pumps up Meredith's ability with adrenaline causing a fire that burns the building down. The Company is shut down. At the same time, Peter, with the help of Flint and [[Knox]], destroys Pinehearst and the formula. The [[Building 26]] operation uses the Company's old files for reference.
Mohinder is studying something under a microscope as Bob tells him he has another vial for Mohinder to examine. Bob walks out after receiving a phone call, and Mohinder makes a call himself. Bob talks to Niki on the phone. She asks if she can be cured, and Bob tells her that she has to do something for them. Mohinder, meanwhile, finds Isaac's paintings, and tells Bennet he may be in over his head, but Noah assures him that so long Noah's alive, Mohinder will be fine.

[[Mohinder]] meets [[Bob]] at a [[Costa Verde hotel]]. Bob says they'll kidnap [[Claire]] quickly and take out [[Noah]] in the process. Bob introduces Mohinder to his daughter, [[Elle]], his new partner.

Mohinder answers Noah's call to his cell phone. Noah asks if [[Molly]] can track down [[West]] for him. Mohinder says yes and Noah thanks him. Mohinder then walks back into his [[Costa Verde hotel|room]] where Elle and Bob are packing and says that they can use this to their advantage by feeding him a false location. Elle disagrees saying that changing a plan mid-stream is a bad idea, but Mohinder threatens to tell Noah everything if they don't do it his way. Bob relents and Elle passes Mohinder a [[The Company's guns|gun]].

Mohinder calls Noah saying that West is at the corner of Verbena and Palm. However, Noah is with West at the corner of Ocean and 4th. Noah lets West go saying that he needs his help.

Claire is at a cheerleading practice when her [[Coach Randolph|coach]] calls her over saying that someone named Mr. Bishop from the education commission wants to see her. It turns out to be Bob, who then proceeds to call her by her real last name, Bennet. Claire quickly runs away realizing he is someone from the Company.

Noah arrives at the corner of Verbena and Palm, and Mohinder jumps into the back of his car, asking Noah to give them Claire because they need her blood. A shocked Noah tells Mohinder he's gone native and says that they will never get Claire. Mohinder then pulls out his gun saying that he must do what he thinks is right.

Noah and Mohinder stop behind the [[Costa Verde High School|high school]] and Noah asks Mohinder who his partner is when Elle appears. Noah smirks at her saying that he definitely knows her.

[[Bob]] visits [[the Bennets]] to pay his condolences, leaving a jar of ashes with them.

Bob returns from the [[The Bennets' home (Costa Verde)|Bennet home]] to meet [[Elle]] in his car. He tells her that the next 24 hours are crucial and that she is to keep an eye on [[Claire]]. She then complains that her cast is itchy and that it would be so much easier without it. Bob then mocks her, saying that he thought his little girl was tough. She then protests that she is tough but she was shot and she can't just [[regeneration|heal]] herself.

She says that she can and that she will watch Claire like he asked.

At [[Primatech Research]], in [[1977]], Hiro watches as Adam, restrained by guards, is told by Kaito that he is a traitor.

Kaito tells the guards to lock him up and throw away the key. Kaito turns off the alarm and enters a room Victoria is in. She tells Kaito that Adam was looking for [[Shanti virus|Strain 138]], a strain powerful enough to start a global pandemic. Kaito thanks her, but she tells him he that he needs to shut down the program. He asks for the strain and tells her he will lock it away at the [[Primatech Paper Co.|Odessa, TX facility]] where it will be safe. She tells him that as long as it exists, they will not be safe.

The Company, also referred to by its cover name Primatech, is a clandestine organization that has an interest in locating and tracking evolved humans. The original purpose of the Company was to prevent the existence of evolved humans from becoming public knowledge and to make sure the past was never repeated. Some time after Claire Bennet revealed the existence of evolved humans to the world, Primatech was taken over by Renautas.

About

The Company was founded in 1977 by a group of twelve individuals. It uses cover companies (e.g. Primatech Paper Co), to conceal their illicit operations, or provided support or resources for whatever reason. The standard operating protocol involves Company agents to locate and track evolved humans, letting some go but keeping the ones they deem dangerous locked away, or even killing those who are deemed too great a risk.

The Company has two main tracking systems. One division marks people with special abilities with an isotope which can be later used by a satellite to track and find them (though this satellite has now been destroyed). In certain cases, this division also trains those individuals to assist the Company. The second "system" was a girl named Molly Walker who has an innate ability to find people, but she has now left the Company. Mr. Bennet's superior, Thompson, took orders from Daniel Linderman, who, along with Angela Petrelli and others, had been planning the events surrounding the explosion for an extended period of time.

Since Linderman's death or even before, Bob Bishop has been running the operations of the Company. Due to Bob's ability, the Company is not stressed with financial concerns. Among other items, agents are known to have access to standard-issue clothing, guns, night vision goggles, tasers, and transportation. In addition, each agent receives a Company expense account to purchase other non-Company items.

Besides field agents, the Company also employs internal affairs agents, scientists and doctors. At Primatech Research, Donna Dunlap worked for a time in internal affairs. While performing an investigation, she used the services of a research library, medical examiner, chemical analyst, and ballistics.

History

Season One

For an episode-by-episode summary, see The Company: Season One History.

The Company works to study and tag evolved humans. Mr. Bennet, a regional manager who runs a company facility in Odessa, TX, studies new cases, looks into the research of the recently deceased Chandra Suresh, and attempts to stop the evolved serial killer Sylar--while at the same time attempting to defy the Company by protecting his own adopted daughter from them. His assistant, a seemingly mute Haitian, reveals that he is also trying to protect Claire. Another agent, Eden McCain, comes to reject the Company's mission, and in the end sacrifices herself to stop Sylar from gaining her ability. Isaac Mendez, a precognitive artist, works with the Company. He attempts to stop Peter Petrelli, whom Isaac believes will cause a explosion in New York City, but is eventually killed by Sylar.

Three of the Company's former victims--Ted Sprague, Matt Parkman, and Hana Gitelman--team up to find answers. After discovering that the mark they all bear is a tracking device, they confront Bennet and inadvertently expose his efforts to conceal Claire from his employers, leading him to leave the Company and team up with them. Meanwhile, Bennet's former boss, Thompson, enlists the assistance of Chandra's son Mohinder to cure Molly Walker, an evolved human the Company uses as yet another tracking system.

Matt discovers that Mr. Linderman is funding the Company. Thompson and Candice Willmer, another powered agent, work closely with Linderman to ensure Nathan Petrelli's election by kidnapping Micah Sanders. Linderman hopes to use a pending explosion to unite the country behind Nathan.

D.L. Hawkins and Niki Sanders confront Linderman, who shoots D.L. only to be slain by him seconds later, then Niki rescues their son Micah from Candice. Bennet kills Thompson as he and Matt Parkman search for Molly Walker. Meanwhile, Hana Gitelman destroys the other tracking system, a satellite in space.

Sylar confronts Peter outside the Company's Kirby Plaza facility and causes Peter's induced radioactivity to become unstable. Sylar is stabbed by Hiro and disappears into the sewers. Nathan Petrelli flies his brother Peter into the sky, preventing the explosion from destroying NYC.

Season Two

For an episode-by-episode summary, see The Company: Season Two History.

The Company is now run by Bob, who approaches Mohinder after a speech to offer him a job with the Company. After demonstrating his ability, Mohinder agrees to help further research the Shanti virus that affects evolved humans. Bob assigns Mohinder to go find the Haitian and cure him of the virus using his blood's antibodies, then bring him back. However, Mohinder forgets ever leaving New York, and Bob realizes that Mohinder's cure works. Mohinder later arrives at Isaac's loft, where Bob tells Mohinder that this is his lab. Mohinder is later sent to bring in Monica and observe her ability. Bob asks Mohinder to inject her with a strain of the virus that should negate her abilities without killing her, but Mohinder objects. Bob apologizes, then assigns Niki as Mohinder's partner.

After various Company founders are killed, Nathan and Matt go to Primatech Research to warn Bob, and the three, Mohinder and Niki devise a plan to stop Maury, who has targeted Bob. Maury turns Niki against Bob and Mohinder, but she stops herself by injecting herself with the virus. Matt stops Maury and saves Molly from Maury, rendering Maury unconscious and in Company supervision. Bob shows Company surveillance of Peter, which shows Nathan that Peter survived the explosion. Bob suggests to Mohinder that they use Claire's blood to help save Niki from the virus by combining her regenerative blood with his antibodies. Mohinder admits to Bob that he is plotting with Noah to stop the Company, and Bob gives him a weapon.

Four months prior, Bob and Elle take in Peter after the explosion. Using power negation pills, they keep him in a cell to protect others. His cell is next to Adam's cell, and the two talk. Adam convinces Peter to stop taking the pills and use his ability to help the two escape and save Nathan, who is in the hospital after the explosion. After injecting Nathan with Adam's regenerative blood, Adam and Peter are tracked down by Elle and the Haitian. Adam escapes, but the Haitian erases Peter's memory and locks him in a shipping container.

Mohinder is partnered with Elle and the two are assigned to kill Noah. Meanwhile, Bob attempts to capture Claire for her regenerative blood. Noah and West knock out Mohinder and capture Elle, then arrange a switch for Claire. After taking Claire's blood, Bob and Mohinder bring Claire to Noah and West, while Elle is returned to her father. Noah is shot in the eye, while Claire and West escape.

Noah is revived with Claire's blood, and is kept in a Company cell. Elle is given the task of watching Claire, but is caught by Claire. She threatens to expose the Company, but is discouraged by Noah, who Claire thought was dead. Meanwhile, Mohinder uses his blood's antibodies and Claire's regenerative blood to create a cure for the virus. He goes to save Niki, but receives a call from Sylar, who is with Molly. Mohinder goes to his apartment, and Sylar holds Mohinder, Molly and Maya hostage until he is cured. Mohinder finds that Sylar was infected with the same strain of the virus as Niki, and steals the cure from Mohinder before Elle can stop him.

After getting the location of Strain 138 from Victoria Pratt, Adam and Peter infiltrate the Company's Odessa facility, beating up the Company guards and Adam retrieves the virus and tries to release it as Hiro teleports him away. In time, Nathan convinces Peter of the truth and he stops the virus and destroys it.

Season Three

For an episode-by-episode summary, see The Company: Season Three History.

Sylar steals Noah Bennet's old files on the prisoners kept on Level 5 of Primatech Research. He comes to Primatech to steal the prisoners' powers, and kills Bob. Elle lets Noah out of his Level 5 cell to fight Sylar. On Level 5, Sylar tries to kill Elle, who explodes with electricity, knocking out Sylar and the Level 5 security system. A dozen prisoners escape. Angela takes control of the Company from Bob and fires Elle for causing the escape. Angela tells Sylar, who has been captured, that she is his mother, so she can use him to recapture the escapees. She hands agent Bridget Bailey over to Sylar so he can steal her ability of clairsentience.

Noah returns to the Company in order to recapture the escapees. Sylar is assigned as his partner, as the Haitian is busy. Noah and Sylar go to a bank robbery involving some of the escapees. Sylar gives in and kills escapee Jesse Murphy, Knox escapes, and Flint is recaptured. Sylar is kept in his cell when he is not out to recapture escapees.

The Haitian attempts to transport Angela's half of the formula, which is stolen with Ando's incidental assistance. The Haitian captures Ando and Hiro, and blocks Hiro's power so he cannot escape. Hiro nearly gets away, when the Haitian walks in and takes them to see Angela. Angela sends Hiro to dig up Adam Monroe, as he may know about the people that stole the formula.

With the hunger, Peter enters Sylar's cell and fights Sylar. Angela enters and is attacked by Peter. Sylar knocks Peter out, and he is kept unconscious with drugs. Angela tells Nathan and Tracy that the Company gave synthetic powers to them and Tracy's sisters. Arthur Petrelli appears to Angela in a dream and prevents her from moving. Daphne penetrates Level 5 and frees and attempts to recruit Flint and Sylar. Flint accepts. Sylar finds Angela unconscious, and wakes up Peter who sees the Pinehearst logo in Angela's mind. Peter defeats Sylar and hooks him up to the same drugs that kept Peter unconscious, then goes to Pinehearst. Angela enters Sylar's dream and tells him and encourages him to wake up and save Peter.

Matt and Daphne turn to the Company to help fight Pinehearst. Matt enters Angela's mind in an attempt to wake her up. So does Arthur, as Daphne tipped him off. Angela plays into Arthur's heart and convinces him to release her. Angela then discusses the formula with Matt, Daphne, Nathan, Peter, and Claire. Claire realizes that she is the catalyst, the missing part of the formula. Angela sends Matt to get Hiro, Nathan to get the Haitian, and Noah and Claire to hide. Peter and Nathan succeed in getting the Haitian, but after seeing Baron Samedi, Nathan decides to defect to Pinehearst.

Sixteen years earlier, Kaito Nakamura gives Claire to Noah to raise. Kaito then attempts to take Claire back temporarily so the catalyst can be hidden in her. Present-day Claire tells Noah not to answer the Company's phone call, while present-day Hiro has Ishi give him the catalyst.

In the present, Angela sends Peter and the Haitian to kill Arthur. Though Peter nearly succeeds, it is Sylar who finishes the job after learning that Arthur is not his father. Having found out the truth, Sylar raids Primatech Research, and traps Angela, Noah, Claire, and Meredith inside. Sylar pumps up Meredith's ability with adrenaline causing a fire that burns the building down. The Company is shut down. At the same time, Peter, with the help of Flint and Knox, destroys Pinehearst and the formula. The Building 26 operation uses the Company's old files for reference.

In 1961, Charles, Linderman, Bob, and Angela sneak away from the camp at Coyote Sands. While they are gone, nearly everyone at the camp is killed. The four start a group, the Company, with the purpose of keeping abilities a secret. In the present, Angela, Nathan, Peter, Claire, and Noah decide to start a new Company for the same purpose. Sylar, disguised as believing he is Nathan, talks to the President about the new Company. The President gives the Company funding and secrecy, and Sylar asks for Noah to be put in charge of the Company.
