'''Noah Bennet''' is a former agent of [[the Company]] who also served as its field manager and one of their trainers, and was originally based out of [[Primatech Paper Co.]] Having almost thirty years of experience [[Bag and tag|bagging and tagging]] [[evolved humans]], Noah continued his work as part of the Company even after his daughter [[Claire]] [[Revelation of evolved humans|revealed]] the existence of evolved humans to the world, something that strained their relationship. After Claire was seemingly killed at the [[Odessa Unity Summit]] on June 13th, Noah had his memory of the event [[mental manipulation|erased]] for an unknown reason and began a new life as "Ted Barnes". Noah was eventually tracked down by [[Quentin Frady]], who set him on a path to discover the truth about what really happened to him and his daughter on June 13th, as well as what Primatech's new owner [[Renautas]] is planning for the world. Noah ultimately [[sacrifice|sacrificed]] himself to save the world by acting as the conduit for his grandchildren's powers to stop [[the H.E.L.E.]] |

To most of the world, Noah Bennet seems like a typical, if slightly geeky, suburbanite father. His loyalty to his family and his loyalty to his profession are frequently at odds. While it's clear that he loves [[Claire]] very much and would do anything to protect her, his methods indicate a level of ruthlessness that conflicts with his genuinely caring nature. For example, while he seems to initially show real concern for [[Isaac]]'s well being and rehabilitation, he does not hesitate to have [[Eden]] use her [[persuasion|persuasive powers]] to make Isaac use [[heroin]] again when he believes he needs to make use of Isaac's [[precognition|precognitive]] abilities. Similarly, while his use of [[the Haitian]]'s [[mental manipulation|memory modifying]] ability on [[Brody]] seems somewhat restrained given his intense anger at the boy, the casual use of the same ability on [[Zach]] and even his own family shows that his dedication to [[The Company|his job]] |

He does seem to possess his own [[moral ambiguity|moral code]], though, as his intense reactions to [[Sylar]]'s [[Sylar's victims|murders]] and [[Eden's father]]'s callousness attest. |

In a warehouse, Noah and the Haitian find the remaining six paintings by [[Isaac]], placing them in order. The paintings depict several things, including a vial, an angry blond woman, two men sword-fighting, Mohinder firing a gun, and Noah's death. Noah calls Mohinder, and warns him not to get too close to the Company when he discovers a painting in the [[Warehouse (Odessa)|warehouse]] of Mohinder holding a [[The Company's gun|Company gun]]. Noah then returns home to Costa Verde where he discovers [[Claire]] is secretly dating [[West]], even though Noah ordered her not to because it could jeopardize their safety. He then tells his family they're moving because of what Claire has done, but Claire refuses to go saying they should leave without her. |

While being held, Bennet tells Mohinder that he made a mistake by aiding [[the Company]]. Mohinder responds that he helped the Company save lives and stopped Noah's paranoia and violence. When Bennet is told that he was [[rapid cell regeneration|healed]] with Claire's blood, he panics and demands to know where his daughter is. Mohinder dryly answers that Claire is safe at home. He is locked in a cell and sits idly bouncing a ball against a wall. [[Elle]] asks him to tell her about her past. He tells her about the testing her father arranged to see the extent of her ability. Later, Bob tells Noah that Claire is becoming a problem. Noah smiles, but when Bob says that it's unfortunate and that they may have to take drastic measures, the grin on his face disappears. Noah arrives at his home, shocking Claire and his family. He says that he didn't plan any of this but has found a way to protect all of them. He has to go back with the Company, much to everyone's dismay. |

Noah is bouncing a rubber ball against his cell's window as [[Peter]], trapped in [[Jesse Murphy]]'s body, yells that he is really Peter Petrelli. Noah pauses in surprise, but continues bouncing his ball. |
|||
[[Image:Sylar and Noah.jpg|thumb|right|[[Sylar]] and Noah are assigned as [[List of Company partnerships|partners]].]] |
|||
===[[The Butterfly Effect]]=== |
|||
Realizing that [[Sylar]] is in [[Primatech Research|the facility]], [[Elle]] enters [[Noah's cell (NY)|Noah's cell]] and tosses him a [[the Company's guns|gun]]. He rushes out of the cell to be met by Sylar. Noah unloads an entire clip of ammunition into him, but quickly learns that Sylar has [[power theft|taken]] [[Claire]]'s ability and [[regeneration|quickly recovers]] with a sarcastic "Ouch". As he prepares to shoot Sylar in the head, Sylar [[telekinesis|sends him flying]] against the ceiling only to come crashing down as Sylar turns his attention to [[Elle]]. Following her [[lightning|explosion of electricity]] that knocks Sylar out and frees the other prisoners of [[Level 5]], Noah drags Sylar's body to a cell and escapes with the rest of the detainees. |
|||
Noah is released from [[Level 5]] following the death of [[Bob Bishop]]. He shoots [[Sylar]] and is knocked out after learning that he can [[regenerate]]. Noah briefly returns home to [[Costa Verde]], where he places [[Meredith]] as his family's protector. Noah returns to [[Primatech]] to hunt down the villains but is less than pleased with his new partner, Sylar. Together, Noah and Sylar manage to bring in [[Flint Gordon]] before they go after [[Stephen Canfield]]. [[Claire]] is outraged that Noah is working with Sylar and even more outraged when Noah tries to get Stephen to [[Gravitational manipulation|make Sylar disappear]]. Noah and Sylar's partnership ends shortly after that. |
|||
Later on, Claire arrives [[The Bennets' home (Costa Verde)|home]] to find Noah on his computer. They share a hug before Noah shows Claire the escapees' [[Assignment Tracker 2.0]] profiles and explains that he must hunt down the convicts before they can harm innocent people. When Claire offers her assistance, Noah forbids her to help him and calls in [[Meredith Gordon]], whom he has asked to protect his family while he is gone. |
|||
Noah recruits Meredith to be his partner and together, they rescue the victims of [[Mohinder Suresh]]. After bringing in [[Danny Pine]], Noah takes Claire back to the Canfield house and begins to train her. During the [[eclipse]], Claire is shot and is unable to heal. Noah uses this eclipse as a chance to hunt down Sylar. He finds him and Elle hiding in a supermarket storage area and manages to kill Sylar by slitting his throat. Noah returns home and is attacked by [[Elle]] and the revived Sylar. [[Hiro Nakamura]] [[Space-time manipulation|arrives]] and saves the Bennet family from the two villains. Noah returns to Primatech where he, [[Angela]], Meredith and Claire prepare to take down Pinehearst. They are all stopped when Sylar shuts down the building and traps them inside. After releasing the remaining Level 5 detainees, Noah is trapped inside a cell with Meredith, who is losing control of her [[Pyrokinesis|power]]. Claire rescues Noah, who gets Angela out of the building safely after Claire kills Sylar. Noah then returns to get Claire out before Meredith explodes. |

=== [[One of Us, One of Them]] === |
|||
[[Image:Sylar and Noah.jpg|left|thumb|Noah gets a new Company partner.]] |
|||
While in [[Level 5]], Noah talks to [[Angela]]. She asks if he has rejoined the Company, but he says that he is only there to recapture the Level 5 escapes and will then return to his family. Noah asks for [[The Haitian|his partner]], but Angela says that the Haitian is on a pick-up assignment for her. Noah reminds Angela about the Company policy, "One of us, one of them." Angela says the she has the perfect partner for Noah, and leads Noah to the cell of his new colleague, [[Sylar]]. |
|||
[[Image:Telepathy-memories.jpg|thumb|left|[[Matt]] [[Telepathy|digs]] through Noah's memories.]] |
|||
Noah strongly disapproves of Sylar, especially after the recent attack on [[Claire]]. Angela protects Sylar by saying that he's just misunderstood and needs structure, which Noah could give to him. Noah reluctantly agrees to work with Sylar. The new partners see the [[First Federal Bank of New York|bank]] robbery on the news and are told that it is their first assignment. At the bank, Noah tells Sylar to stand back and do nothing, but Sylar uses his silver tongue and poses as a fake FBI agent, instructing [[Lieutenant Chory]] to "move the horses back" and fetch them some coffee. |
|||
Two months later, Noah begins working with [[Nathan]] to capture [[evolved humans]] for the government. Claire is furious with her father, who once again tries to live a double life to keep [[Sandra]] and [[Lyle]] in the dark. Sandra finds out what he is doing and the two of them break up, forcing Noah to move out. He is captured by [[Peter]], [[Matt]] and Mohinder, who use [[Telepathy|Matt's unique interrogation skills]] to extract memories from him. Via this method, it is revealed that Noah only began working with Nathan to keep Claire from becoming a target. |
|||
As Noah enters the bank, the hostages are released, leaving him alone with [[Knox]], [[Flint]], and [[Peter]], trapped in [[Jesse|Jesse's]] body. Knox is about to attack Noah, just as Peter uses Jesse's [[sound manipulation|ability]], knocking everyone off their feet. Just then, [[Peter Petrelli (exposed future)|Future Peter]] enters and [[space-time manipulation|freezes time]]. He walks over to Jesse and pushes Present Peter out. The two Peters [[space-time manipulation|teleport]] out of there, and time resumes. Noah looks at Jesse and thanks Peter for saving him, to which Jesse replies that Peter isn't there anymore. Jesse prepares to attack Noah, just as Sylar enters the bank and stops him and Knox with [[telekinesis]]. Flint tries to attack, but Noah pulls out his gun and shoots Flint, but does not kill him. |
|||
Noah returns to [[Building 26]] after a meeting with Angela Petrelli and attempts to become one of the agents that [[Danko]] trusts. Following Nathan's [[Flight|exposure]], Noah offers to give Danko [[Rebel]], who has been helping people escape his clutches. Noah finds [[Tracy Strauss]] and offers her a deal to bring in Rebel. Unfortunately, Tracy [[Freezing|dies]] and Noah is forced to bring in a different target, Angela Petrelli. Noah does not bring in Angela and, after learning that Danko has killed Sylar, becomes obsessed with finding out if the killer is really dead. Noah is fooled by Sylar, who [[Shape shifting|changes his appearance]] in order to make Noah seem like a killer. Noah becomes a fugitive and meets up with Peter, Nathan, Angela and Claire at the [[Coyote Sands]]. While there, Noah tells Claire the truth about why he joined Building 26. Angela reveals that she intends to start a new Company with them but the meeting is cut short when [[Alice Shaw]] [[Weather control|creates a storm]] that interferes with their plans. After their time at the sands ends, Noah and the others all agree that starting a new Company is a good idea. |
|||
As Noah walks Flint outside to seek medical attention, Sylar locks the bank doors. Noah tries to stop Sylar, but he can't control his [[intuitive aptitude|hunger]]. He focuses on Jesse, allowing Knox to escape, and takes Jesse's ability right in front of Noah. |
|||
Noah is soon captured by Danko's team and placed in confinement with [[Danko]] himself. The two of them agree to work together to stop Sylar once and for all and manage to escape following a [[Space-time manipulation|mysterious]] event within Building 26. Danko goes back on his word and is stopped by Hiro. Noah manages to find Peter and Claire and soon rejoins Angela and Matt, who have found Nathan's dead body. Thinking quickly, Noah and Angela get Matt to force Sylar into believing he is Nathan, finally "killing" Sylar once and for all. |
|||
The pair return to [[Primatech Research]] with only one of the four escapees. They lead Flint to a cell in Level 5 right next to [[Hiro]] and [[Ando]]. Noah later meets up with his old partner, [[the Haitian]]. The Haitian asks if he's been replaced, to which Noah replies that he is only working with Sylar until he finds his weakness, and will then kill him. |

Noah enters [[Level 5]] and tells [[Sylar]] to come with him because they have a lead on another [[Stephen Canfield|Level 5 escapee]]. As they drive to Canfield's location, Noah warns Sylar that he's only working with him on [[Angela|Angela's]] orders, and Sylar wonders if he'll ever forgive him. |

The pair enter Canfield's house to find [[Claire]] there with him. Canfield realizes that Noah is Claire's father and grabs her just as Sylar enters. After Canfield realizes that Claire didn't plan this, he warns her to hold on to something as he [[vortex creation|creates a vortex]]. As Canfield gets away, Noah, Claire, and Sylar try to hold on without getting sucked into the vortex. As Claire begins to slip, Sylar grabs her arm and saves her. When the vortex is gone, Sylar tries to apologize to Claire, but she refuses to accept it. Noah sharply tells Sylar to never talk to his daughter again. Noah then tries to explain to Claire just how dangerous Canfield is, but Claire explains that he is a good man who made one very big mistake. Noah decides that he will talk peacefully to Canfield. |

After Canfield realizes that his family will not meet him at the carousel, Noah comes out from behind him with his gun pointed at Canfield's head. Sylar is waiting alone by the car. Noah wants to negotiate a deal: if Canfield kills Sylar, Noah will let him go. Canfield refuses, saying that he is not a murderer. Sylar spots that something is wrong and heads over. Noah gives Canfield one last chance to kill Sylar, but Canfield refuses to become a monster and creates a vortex which [[suicide|sucks him in]]. |
|||
Noah drives Claire home, explaining that he did what he had to to protect his family. Sylar is in the back and says that Claire finally sees Noah for what he really is; a user who doesn't consider either one of them human beings. Noah asks if Claire understands and she says she does. |
|||
===[[Graphic Novel:Doyle]]=== |
|||
Noah brings [[Eric Doyle]] into [[Level 5]] a couple of years prior to his [[Level 5 escapees|escape]]. When Eric begins to gag, Noah explains that the nausea is to keep detainees compliant.

The door slams shut and Sylar taunts Noah through the observation glass, saying that eventually he will have to kill Meredith if he wants to escape. Claire finds them there and Noah tells Meredith to direct as much fire as she can at the glass. Noah then shoots the weakened glass but it still holds, so Claire throws herself through it. Noah and Claire escape to go after Sylar, promising to return for Meredith. |
|||

Noah is sitting in a car outside of the [[Steel Family Safe Insurance|Steel Family Safe Insurance building]] in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, when he receives a call from [[Claire]]. Claire is suspicious about the note he left at [[The Bennets' home (Costa Verde)|home]] saying he was "out of town on business," and while she questions him about his activities, Noah heads inside the building. He assures Claire that [[Sylar]] is dead and then tells her that he is about to step into a meeting. He presses the elevator button to head up to the sixth floor and ends the conversation with Claire. As he pulls his finger away, he realizes that there is blood on the sixth floor button. He exits the elevator on the sixth floor, gun drawn, and he enters [[Joe Macon|Macon's]] office, only to find the man sprawled out on his desk, his head cut open, and his [[brain removal|brain missing]]. |
|||

|||
Shortly after the [[Flight 195|plane]] [[Flight 195 crash|crashes]], [[Noah]] notices both [[Claire]] and [[Peter]] trying to escape together. After grabbing Claire, he threatens to [[Brain penetration|shoot]] Peter but Peter knows he can't do it and leaves quickly. |

===[[Episode:Building 26|Building 26]]=== |
|||
Noah has breakfast with his family and talks about his new job as a "consultant". When [[Sandra Bennet|Sandra]] asks about his trip to visit colleges with Claire, Claire leaves the room and Noah makes an excuse for her. When Claire says she won't lie to her mother any more, he insists that she must do as he says for her own safety and tells her that she has been enrolled at Costa Verde Community College. |
|||
Claire is at [[Sam's Comics]] with [[Alex Woolsley|Alex]] when Noah comes into the store. The two hide at first, but then Alex runs into Noah, who says he is from the county clerk's office and mentions parking violations. Claire calls her father's cellphone in an attempt to distract him, and Alex hits him with a stand of comics and escapes. He runs after Alex but loses him. He then calls [[Danko]] and orders a team. When Danko points out that Claire's car has been seen in the area, he makes an excuse for her. He meets Claire at her car and warns her that he knows she's been lying, but she reminds him that he cannot control her. |
|||
That evening, Noah comes home with takeaway food and finds that Claire has told Sandra about what he really does. He argues with Sandra and says that he is trying to protect Claire. Later he goes up to Claire's room and tells her that Sandra has asked him to move out for a while. They embrace and he leaves. Noah goes to a [[Costa Verde motel|motel]] bar for a drink and tells the [[motel bartender|bartender]] that he's looking for an apartment. His vision suddenly becomes foggy and he collapses. [[Peter Petrelli|Peter]], [[Mohinder Suresh|Mohinder]] and [[Matt Parkman|Matt]] come and take him away, laughing that he's had a few too many. |
|||
===[[Cold Wars]]=== |
|||
Noah is drugged by [[Peter]], [[Matt]] and [[Mohinder]] and taken to a motel for interrogation. They keep him drugged so it will be easier for Matt to [[Telepathy|scan his memories]]. Four weeks previously, Noah goes to see [[Angela Petrelli]] who tells him that [[the Company]] is now shut down for good. She gives him severance pay and a watch, and Noah is unsure of what to do with his life. |
|||
Three weeks before the events of the episode, Noah is visited by [[Nathan Petrelli]] who asks for his help in rounding up people with abilities, promising that [[Claire]] will be safe. Noah eventually agrees and leads Nathan to a storage facility filled with information and weapons he has stockpiled over 20 years. In the present Matt sends Peter to the address that he got from Noah's mind then starts going through his memories again. In the past Noah meets [[Danko]] and tries to implement a Company-style system of "one of us, one of them" for capturing evolved humans, but Danko refuses to work with people with abilities. Noah goes to Mohinder for help with the program, but Mohinder refuses him. In the present this infuriates Matt as Mohinder hadn't warned anyone despite refusing to help. |
|||
In the past, Noah goes to see Danko at [[Danko's apartment|home]] and tries to get to know him better but doesn't succeed. In the present, Matt sends Peter (who has returned from Noah's storage locker after being nearly caught by [[Danko's team]]) to the address, but Noah wakes up and warns them that Danko will be looking for him. They don't listen, and Matt pulls a gun on Noah, but Noah convinces him not to shoot, telling him that [[Daphne]] is still alive. Matt doesn't believe him but he scans Noah's memories and sees the truth: Noah was there when they brought the wounded but alive Daphne into [[Building 26]]. Danko's team then storms the motel, having already captured Mohinder, and they grab Matt who surrenders. Noah insists on walking him to the team's van, but they are interrupted by Peter who drops a stun grenade and [[Flight|flies]] away with Matt. |
|||
Noah tells Danko that he is coming to understand his way of thinking: he can no longer balance being a "Company man" and a family man, as he has been kicked out of his house and Claire's scared of him. The two decide to ally against Nathan and take over the operation themselves. Later Noah meets Angela in a park and it is revealed that the two are working together to an unknown purpose, possibly to bring Danko and his men down. Angela warns Noah that he's going to have to do many difficult things, but Noah says that he's perfectly fine with [[moral ambiguity|morally gray]] and leaves. |
|||
===[[Graphic Novel:Comrades, Part 1]]=== |
|||
In December 1998, Noah and [[Claude]] go to [[Moscow]] on a [[bag and tag]] mission, where they meet up with [[Ivan Spektor]]. They are hunting an [[evolved human]] known as [[the Russian]], who seems to be the patriarch of a criminal family, all of them notoriously hard to capture. They pursue him through a subway station and onto a train, but when the Russian uses his [[age shifting|age shifting ability]] to alter his appearance, Noah realizes that all the members of the Russian's "family" are in fact the same man, shifting his age from young to old. Noah wonders how dangerous the Russian really is, and although Ivan claims that anyone with an [[ability]] can be a threat, Noah knows that they still possess humanity. When they finally catch up with the Russian, he age-shifts into a child. Claude says that Noah cannot shoot a young boy, but Ivan points out that his age is an illusion. Noah pulls his gun and wonders whether he can bring himself to shoot. |
|||
===[[Exposed]]=== |
|||
In [[Building 26]], Noah watches surveillance footage of [[The Bennets' home (Costa Verde)|his family's home]]. When [[Danko]] asks if he minds them watching his daughter's movements, he claims that he knows it's necessary and says that he has his own apartment now. When Nathan asks for his help in protecting Peter from Danko, he points out that Peter and his friends kidnapped and tortured him, giving him reason enough to shoot him himself. When Matt and Peter infiltrate Building 26 with the help of [[Rebel]], he warns Danko not leave the room and explains how to defeat Matt's [[telepathy]] by activating the fire alarm to overload Matt's senses and stop him from concentrating. He and Danko then pull guns on Matt and Peter, but Matt mentally holds them back long enough for Peter to escape with the [[Flight 195's security footage|Flight 195 video footage]]. Noah then goes to meet Peter in a parking garage, ostensibly to hand over Matt and Daphne in exchange for the video, but Noah uses his thoughts to [[telepathy|warn Peter]] that it's a trap. Danko shoots Peter in the arm, making him fall from the roof, but Noah watches as Peter escapes by apparently [[flight|flying away]] (in reality being rescued by Nathan). |
|||
===[[Graphic Novel:Comrades, Part 2]]=== |
|||
Noah, [[Claude]] and [[Ivan Spektor|Ivan]] have cornered [[the Russian]] on a [[Moscow]] subway train. The Russian has used his [[age shifting]] ability to turn into a young boy, and Noah's hesitation over shooting someone who looks like a child gives the Russian enough time to break a window and escape from the train. As they leave the station, Ivan berates Noah for not shooting, but Noah has a hunch about the Russian's hiding place. They go to a large marketplace, and Claude expresses his belief that the Russian is not really a killer, but Noah is doubtful. Claude sees the Russian, still in his child form, and lies to Noah to try to help him get away, but Ivan spots him and calls out, in a successful attempt to make the Russian [[age shifting|age-shift]] again into an adult body, which will be a much easier target for Noah. The Russian pulls a knife on Ivan but Noah shoots him dead. Noah blames Ivan for forcing him to kill, and in the future he sees that these events led both to his [[Episode:The Line|killing of Ivan]] and to the [[Company]]'s distrust of Claude. |
|||
===[[Shades of Gray]]=== |
|||
Noah receives a call from [[Claire]] asking for advice on how to live [[Company|separate lives]], he asks whether she wants the truth or whether she wants what she wants to hear. She doesn't know and Noah hangs up. |
|||
Noah calls [[Angela Petrelli]] in her limo, telling her that [[Nathan]] and [[Danko]] are escalating their "cold war" against each other, and that he is concerned that Nathan is moving too fast and will play his hand too soon. Angela, clutching a pair of argyle [[socks]], tells him that she has the situation under control. |
|||
Nathan presents Danko with a signed order from [[the President]], removing him from the [[DHS|project]]. He tells Noah that he's in charge now, and takes him to meet the President. Danko confronts them in the corridor, and points a gun at Nathan. He fires twice into the glass elevator behind them, and then pushes Nathan through the broken glass. Nathan falls for some distance, then [[Flight|floats in the air and flies away]]. Danko asks Noah if he knew about Nathan's [[ability]]. |
|||
===[[Cold Snap]]=== |
|||
Noah Bennet finds [[Angela]]'s limo sitting in traffic in [[New York|NYC]] in the pouring rain. Angela tells him it's too dangerous for them to stay in touch, and Noah says he would be touched if he believed she actually cared about his safety. Angela says that Noah is clearly distracted, since he didn't bring an umbrella and has cut himself shaving. She notes the [[irony]] of alienating her family in order to save them. Noah says he's sure [[Nathan]] will forgive her, but Angela says she knows [[Peter]] won't. Angela points out that now Nathan has been exposed, it's all up to Bennet and suggests that he makes [[Danko]] trust him by turning in one of them. Noah asks how she knows that he hasn't turned her in, but Angela replies he needs a bigger catch and suggests [[Rebel]] would impress Danko more. Noah points out that Angela may need Rebel's services soon, but Angela says she will find a way to survive. She reminds him he only has fifteen minutes to catch the next train to DC, and gives him her umbrella. In return, he tells her not to go home, then leaves. |
|||
Danko and Noah enter the room full of drugged [[Evolved humans|specials]]. Danko tells Bennet he's brought him a present, and shows him [[Doyle]]. He knows what Doyle did to [[Sandra]] and [[Claire]] and thought Noah might like to see the puppet-master strung up. Bennet asks to return the favor and bring in Rebel. He suggests letting Rebel save [[Tracy Strauss]]. Using her as bait, they could capture Rebel. Danko doesn't like the plan at first, pointing out that Tracy is a killer. Noah promises to kill Tracy himself if the plan goes wrong and chalk it up to self-defense. Danko agrees. |
|||
Noah hangs up the phone in [[Building 26]]. He tells Danko that the team lost Angela Petrelli. Danko believes someone tipped her off, but Noah points out that Angela can see things coming and says they can use Angela's cellphone to track her. Suddenly, all the systems in Building 26 shut down, including the lights. As the emergency lights come on, Noah realizes it's Rebel's work. Danko tells Noah that this won't happen again. He says if Tracy does lead Bennet to Rebel, Noah should to kill them both and chalk it up to self-defense. |
|||
Noah finds Tracy in a store changing room, trying on clothing. He tells her she should have stuck with [[Matt Parkman]], and he would have never found her. She says they did walk right past him. Noah reveals he has a gun and tells her he could draw his gun and kill her before she [[Freezing|freezes]] him, but Tracy challenges him, saying she's worked up a hell of a "cold snap". When a [[saleswoman|attendant]] asks if everything is all right, Bennet takes off his glasses and says that Tracy is his fiancé and asks for a different size of jacket. When the attendant leaves, Noah puts his glasses back on and asks Tracy who Rebel is. Tracy claims she doesn't know. Bennet gives her a choice: either be imprisoned again, or lead him to Rebel and he'll let her go: although her old life is gone forever, she'll have a chance at freedom. |
|||
Noah later looks on while Danko shatters Tracy's frozen body. |
|||
===[[Into Asylum]]=== |
|||
[[Danko]] turns to Noah for advice on how to capture [[evolved humans]] and refuses to listen when Noah suggests the "one of us, one of them" approach used by [[the Company]]. Noah is assigned to go after [[Angela]] and later leads a team to [[Father Vance's church|a church]] where she was apparently spotted. He finds [[Peter]] and Angela hiding in the confessional. After looking at them for a moment, covers for them and says that the area is clear, allowing them to get away. Later Noah meets Danko and finds what is apparently the body of a dead [[Sylar]], not realizing that he's being [[shape shifting|tricked]] by Sylar and Danko into thinking that Sylar's dead. |
|||
===[[Turn and Face the Strange]]=== |
|||
At [[Building 26]], [[Noah]] examines [[James Martin|"Sylar's" dead body]]. [[Danko]] enters and says it's funny how quickly he was able to find and kill Sylar, and posits that perhaps Bennet didn't want to catch Sylar after all. Noah suggests that maybe Danko is better than him. An [[Homeland Security agent (V)|agent]] comes in and tells Noah that [[Sandra|his wife]] has arrived, and Danko tells the agent to send her up. |
|||
[[Sandra]] meets Noah in the hallway of [[Building 26]], and demands to know where [[Claire]] is. He says Claire is safe, and the less Sandra knows, the better. Sandra doesn't believe anything he says anymore, and wants to see Claire. Noah changes the subject and tells her that there's a dead body, but he doesn't think it’s Sylar. Just then, Danko approaches. He introduces himself to Sandra and shakes her hand, but she knows he's the guy who's been watching [[The Bennets' home|her house]]. Danko leaves and Noah begs her to go home, but Sandra says she’s staying at a hotel in town until Noah finds Claire. She walks off. |
|||
[[Angela]] calls Noah to tell him that she had a [[precognitive dreaming|dream]], and asks if he knew about what happened at a place called "[[Coyote Sands]]". Noah knows that whatever happened there was kept a secret for over 20 years, and that the [[Company]] always told him it should never be discussed. Angela says that she and [[Peter]] are now heading there, and that she needs Noah there too, so that everyone knows the truth. Noah mentions that he doesn't believe Sylar is really dead, and Angela advises him to leave it alone, but Noah insists on checking one more time, despite Angela's pleas. Upon going into the morgue area, Noah sees that the body is missing. He asks a [[Homeland Security agent (V)|DHS agent]] where it went, and she tells him that it has been sent to the crematorium. Noah drives there and finds the body bag which appears to contain Sylar. He tells the agents to prepare to shoot, and removes the [[brain penetration|metal spike]] from Sylar's brain, but the body fails to [[regeneration|regenerate]], so Noah tells an [[Agent Harper|agent]] to send the stake for DNA analysis and tells the team not to cremate the body. |
|||
Sandra meets Noah at [[Noah's apartment|his apartment]]. She says that Claire has called her and that she just needs Noah to sign some papers, which Noah sees are divorce papers. She tells him that he's perpetually lied to her, brought loaded guns into the home, and endangered the lives of their children. Noah begs her not to throw away their 22 years of marriage, and that they owe it to [[Lyle Bennet|Lyle]] and to [[Claire]] to stay together. She tells him that it's too late and that she doesn't love, trust, or respect him anymore. Noah watches in heartbroken confusion as Sandra storms out. |
|||
In Building 26, Noah is about to sign the divorce papers when he notices Sandra's signature. He calls up some online records and confirms that the signature is not Sandra's. He calls the DNA lab and a technician called Nigel tells him that the DNA on the metal spike matches [[James Martin]] of [[Arlington, VA]]. Noah realizes Sylar is now a shapeshifter. |
|||
Sandra walks into [[Sandra's hotel room|her hotel room]] and Noah pulls a gun on her, aiming at the back of her head. Terrified, she asks him what he's doing, but Noah is convinced that Sandra is Sylar, and when she lists some personal details about their past together, he assumes that Sylar has [[ability theft|acquired]] [[telepathy]]. He shoves her against the table and Sandra starts to weep, pleading for Noah to stop. Sandra's phone rings and Noah answers. It's [[Lyle]] calling to ask where [[Mr. Muggles]]'s pills are. Sandra tells Noah exactly where the pills are in the refrigerator, and when he hears Lyle asks if it's the green or the brown bottle, Noah realizes that he has made a huge mistake. He hangs up, puts his gun away, lays the cell phone on the table, and squeezes Sandra's shoulder before taking a couple of steps back. Sandra gets up and tells him to get out. Noah tries to explain about Sylar's shapeshifting ability and the divorce papers, but Sandra screams for him to get out. Noah pleads with her and she says she believes him but it's too late; she wants him to leave. Noah steps out into the hallway, dejected. When he hears Sandra lock the door behind him, his face changes and he walks away, determined. |
|||
Noah walks through the control room of Building 26, not wearing his glasses. He goes into Danko's office and shuts the blinds. Danko asks him what he wants and Noah suggests that he is really Sylar. He offers Danko a folder and says that Noah has been keeping [[Primatech]] files hidden. Danko takes the file, saying he's not surprised, but Noah pulls out his gun and asked if he's surprised now. Noah disarms Danko and chastises him for being so stupid as to partner up with Sylar. Danko asks what Noah wants and he says he wants Sylar on a platter. Danko tells Noah that Sylar is posing as [[Agent Donner]] from Team 6 and that they'll be back from their current mission in an hour. Noah says he'll wait and so will Danko. |
|||
Team 6 arrives back at Building 26 and Noah and Danko are there to meet them. Noah congratulates Donner on his achievements, but pulls a gun on him as Donner turns away. Noah tells the agents to aim their guns at the back of Donner's head because he's really Sylar. Donner tries to convince the agents that it really is him and Danko refuses to back up Noah's accusation. Noah tells the agents that Danko and Sylar are working together. Danko says that Noah's just under a lot of stress and Donner blames Noah's pending divorce. Noah asks him how he would know about the divorce and shoots Donner, but one of the agents hits his hand so the bullet goes into Donner's back. Noah insists that everyone stays back and says that Sylar will [[RCR|heal]], but the body remains still. Danko goes to check Donner's pulse and declares him dead. Having apparently shot an innocent man, Noah holds a gun to Danko's head and backs out of the room. When he gets to the door, he runs away. |
|||
Noah calls Sandra and leaves her a message, saying that he loves her and misses his whole family. He can't leave her a number as it's not safe to keep his phone, but he promises to call her again later. He later arrives at [[Coyote Sands]] and finds the others digging. |
|||
===[[Graphic Novel:Scenic Route]]=== |
|||
Noah receives a video message from [[Angela Petrelli]] telling him where to go to meet up with her, [[Peter]], [[Nathan]], and [[Claire]], when [[West Rosen]] [[flies]] in and Noah is forced to stop the car. He offers West a ride as far as the state line, but tells him after that he's on his own and to be careful about flying around. West instead tries to enlist his help to save [[Alex Woolsly]] from members of [[Danko's team]]. While West distracts the helicopter chasing Alex, Noah pulls up alongside him and has him get in his car. West joins them in the car through the trunk, but they're cut off by a stalled truck and West can't carry them all. Noah has Alex [[Underwater breathing|swim underwater]] to a cave while West flies himself and Noah there. At the cave, Noah takes the camera of a tourist who was shocked and got a picture of Alex's arrival. He tells the two that they're not going to tell Claire what happened and decides he doesn't want to know when it's obvious that Alex is embarrassed about something. He warns the two that it won't be safe for them and [[Rebel]] to keep operating as a storm's coming. |

Noah Bennet is a former agent of the Company who also served as its field manager and one of their trainers, and was originally based out of Primatech Paper Co. Having almost thirty years of experience bagging and tagging evolved humans, Noah continued his work as part of the Company even after his daughter Claire revealed the existence of evolved humans to the world, something that strained their relationship. After Claire was seemingly killed at the Odessa Unity Summit on June 13th, Noah had his memory of the event erased for an unknown reason and began a new life as "Ted Barnes". Noah was eventually tracked down by Quentin Frady, who set him on a path to discover the truth about what really happened to him and his daughter on June 13th, as well as what Primatech's new owner Renautas is planning for the world. Noah ultimately sacrificed himself to save the world by acting as the conduit for his grandchildren's powers to stop the H.E.L.E.
About
To most of the world, Noah Bennet seems like a typical, if slightly geeky, suburbanite father. His loyalty to his family and his loyalty to his profession are frequently at odds. While it's clear that he loves Claire very much and would do anything to protect her, his methods indicate a level of ruthlessness that conflicts with his genuinely caring nature. For example, while he seems to initially show real concern for Isaac's well being and rehabilitation, he does not hesitate to have Eden use her persuasive powers to make Isaac use heroin again when he believes he needs to make use of Isaac's precognitive abilities. Similarly, while his use of the Haitian's memory modifying ability on Brody seems somewhat restrained given his intense anger at the boy, the casual use of the same ability on Zach and even his own family shows that his dedication to his job — and to keeping Claire safe — knows no limits. He does seem to possess his own moral code, though, as his intense reactions to Sylar's murders and Eden's father's callousness attest.
Character History
Season One
For an episode-by-episode summary, see Noah Bennet: Season One History.
Spying on and confronting Mohinder Suresh, Mr. Bennet appears to work for an organization that is involved in the death of Chandra Suresh. But Mr. Bennet also has a non-work persona who lives and cares for his adopted daughter Claire, his wife Sandra, and his son Lyle in their home in Odessa, TX. He tries to protect his family from the dangers of his work using his partner, the Haitian, to erase their memories when needed.
Based out of the Primatech Paper Co., Mr. Bennet, the Haitian, and Eden carry out the capture, evaluation, and release of people with special abilities. However, this work gets out of hand when two of the people, Matt Parkman and Ted Sprague, invade Mr. Bennet's home, burn it down, and almost blow up the neighborhood. They expose his daughter's ability and force him to send her on the run with his partner. Later, Mr. Bennet gets a new partner that exposes what he has done, and ends up on the run himself with Matt and Ted. Mr. Bennet decides they need to take out the Company's tracking systems used for locating people with special abilities. He sends one of his recruits to take out the satellite system while he, Matt, and Ted go to New York City to destroy another--the Walker system.
After discovering that the Walker system is a girl, they decide to rescue instead of kill her. However, they learn that a threat known as Sylar is near. Mr. Bennet uses Molly to locate Peter Petrelli to fight Sylar. He tries to help Peter, but is hurt and is only able to be a witness. Mr. Bennet watches Nathan fly Peter into the atmosphere where the explosion occurs. After the commotion is over, Bennet tells Claire that they should go home. Claire mentions that their house burned down, but Bennet tells her that home is anywhere their family is together.
Season Two
For an episode-by-episode summary, see Noah Bennet: Season Two History.
Noah and his family have moved to Costa Verde as the "Butlers" and try to avoid detection from the Company. Meanwhile, Noah has teamed with Mohinder to take down the Company from the inside. Sandra picks up a newspaper one day and shows Noah an article about Kaito Nakamura's death. Noah tells her that he knew this would happen, and shows Sandra an old painting by Isaac Mendez depicting Kaito laying in a pool of blood. He tells her that it's part of a series of eight paintings, but that he was only given the first one and needs to find the rest. The Haitian joins Noah after being cured from a virus by Mohinder, and the partners seek out the paintings after Mohinder finds a painting of Noah lying dead.
Noah and the Haitian arrive in Odessa, Ukraine and find Ivan, Noah's old mentor. Noah interrogates the old man to find the location of the paintings, then kills him. In a warehouse, Noah and the Haitian find the remaining six paintings by Isaac, placing them in order. The paintings depict several things, including a vial, an angry blond woman, two men sword-fighting, Mohinder firing a gun, and Noah's death. Noah calls Mohinder, and warns him not to get too close to the Company when he discovers a painting in the warehouse of Mohinder holding a Company gun. Noah then returns home to Costa Verde where he discovers Claire is secretly dating West, even though Noah ordered her not to because it could jeopardize their safety. He then tells his family they're moving because of what Claire has done, but Claire refuses to go saying they should leave without her.
Attempting to avoid his own death as foretold in the painting, Noah goes to find West so they can save Claire. On the way, Noah learns of Mohinder's betrayal and plots to stop the Company. He and West go to meet with Mohinder, where they knock out and kidnap Elle. Noah learns that Claire has been kidnapped and calls Bob to arrange a trade. During the meeting, Bob releases Claire and Noah releases Elle, who walk by each other. West tries to fly Claire away, but Elle shoots them down with a lightning bolt. Noah then shoots Elle and threatens to kill Bob, but Mohinder shoots Noah in the eye. Noah dies, but heals and awakens on a hospital bed in an empty room with an IV of Claire's blood in his arm.
While being held, Bennet tells Mohinder that he made a mistake by aiding the Company. Mohinder responds that he helped the Company save lives and stopped Noah's paranoia and violence. When Bennet is told that he was healed with Claire's blood, he panics and demands to know where his daughter is. Mohinder dryly answers that Claire is safe at home. He is locked in a cell and sits idly bouncing a ball against a wall. Elle asks him to tell her about her past. He tells her about the testing her father arranged to see the extent of her ability. Later, Bob tells Noah that Claire is becoming a problem. Noah smiles, but when Bob says that it's unfortunate and that they may have to take drastic measures, the grin on his face disappears. Noah arrives at his home, shocking Claire and his family. He says that he didn't plan any of this but has found a way to protect all of them. He has to go back with the Company, much to everyone's dismay.
Season Three
For an episode-by-episode summary, see Noah Bennet: Season Three History.
Noah is released from Level 5 following the death of Bob Bishop. He shoots Sylar and is knocked out after learning that he can regenerate. Noah briefly returns home to Costa Verde, where he places Meredith as his family's protector. Noah returns to Primatech to hunt down the villains but is less than pleased with his new partner, Sylar. Together, Noah and Sylar manage to bring in Flint Gordon before they go after Stephen Canfield. Claire is outraged that Noah is working with Sylar and even more outraged when Noah tries to get Stephen to make Sylar disappear. Noah and Sylar's partnership ends shortly after that.
Noah recruits Meredith to be his partner and together, they rescue the victims of Mohinder Suresh. After bringing in Danny Pine, Noah takes Claire back to the Canfield house and begins to train her. During the eclipse, Claire is shot and is unable to heal. Noah uses this eclipse as a chance to hunt down Sylar. He finds him and Elle hiding in a supermarket storage area and manages to kill Sylar by slitting his throat. Noah returns home and is attacked by Elle and the revived Sylar. Hiro Nakamura arrives and saves the Bennet family from the two villains. Noah returns to Primatech where he, Angela, Meredith and Claire prepare to take down Pinehearst. They are all stopped when Sylar shuts down the building and traps them inside. After releasing the remaining Level 5 detainees, Noah is trapped inside a cell with Meredith, who is losing control of her power. Claire rescues Noah, who gets Angela out of the building safely after Claire kills Sylar. Noah then returns to get Claire out before Meredith explodes.
Two months later, Noah begins working with Nathan to capture evolved humans for the government. Claire is furious with her father, who once again tries to live a double life to keep Sandra and Lyle in the dark. Sandra finds out what he is doing and the two of them break up, forcing Noah to move out. He is captured by Peter, Matt and Mohinder, who use Matt's unique interrogation skills to extract memories from him. Via this method, it is revealed that Noah only began working with Nathan to keep Claire from becoming a target.
Noah returns to Building 26 after a meeting with Angela Petrelli and attempts to become one of the agents that Danko trusts. Following Nathan's exposure, Noah offers to give Danko Rebel, who has been helping people escape his clutches. Noah finds Tracy Strauss and offers her a deal to bring in Rebel. Unfortunately, Tracy dies and Noah is forced to bring in a different target, Angela Petrelli. Noah does not bring in Angela and, after learning that Danko has killed Sylar, becomes obsessed with finding out if the killer is really dead. Noah is fooled by Sylar, who changes his appearance in order to make Noah seem like a killer. Noah becomes a fugitive and meets up with Peter, Nathan, Angela and Claire at the Coyote Sands. While there, Noah tells Claire the truth about why he joined Building 26. Angela reveals that she intends to start a new Company with them but the meeting is cut short when Alice Shaw creates a storm that interferes with their plans. After their time at the sands ends, Noah and the others all agree that starting a new Company is a good idea.
Noah is soon captured by Danko's team and placed in confinement with Danko himself. The two of them agree to work together to stop Sylar once and for all and manage to escape following a mysterious event within Building 26. Danko goes back on his word and is stopped by Hiro. Noah manages to find Peter and Claire and soon rejoins Angela and Matt, who have found Nathan's dead body. Thinking quickly, Noah and Angela get Matt to force Sylar into believing he is Nathan, finally "killing" Sylar once and for all.
