Mr. Petrelli is said to have died [[Episode:Six Months Ago|six months]] before ''[[Season One|Volume One: Genesis]]'' begins.

As [[Peter Petrelli]] recovers in his hospital bed, his mother comes to visit.

He eventually committed [[suicide]], but not before two failed attempts to kill himself. Both attempts were [[secret|covered up]] as heart attacks. Angela fears Peter's delusions of grandeur are signs that he is developing the same problem his father had. |

Mr. Petrelli does not come to [[Peter's apartment]] celebrating his graduation from nursing school. Angela tells Peter that Mr. Petrelli is very proud of him, but couldn't attend the party because he has a meeting with [[Mr. Linderman]] in Atlantic City. Later at the celebration, [[Nathan Petrelli]] informs Peter that the District Attorney wants him to [[Linderman's prosecution|prosecute]] Mr. Linderman. Peter points out that their father often defends Mr. Linderman in court. Going after Mr. Linderman will implicate their father, since he had knowledge of Linderman's crimes. Nathan explains that this is an opportunity to "take the stink off the [[family]]." |

It is revealed that Arthur was one of [[Group of twelve|twelve founders]] of [[the Company]], as were [[Angela Petrelli|his wife]] and [[Linderman]]. The twelve individuals had formed together to save the world and help [[evolved humans]] like themselves. |

A while later, Nathan informs Peter that there's not going to be a deposition because their father is dead. Nathan claims that he died of a heart attack. He tells Peter to take comfort in the fact that their father didn't know what they were about to do to him. |

Arthur Petrelli is a founding member of the Company, husband of Angela, and father of Nathan and Peter. While working closely with Daniel Linderman (along with becoming a close friend since their days in Vietnam), Arthur worked with the other founders to help the world. Gradually, the tolls of the seemingly-never ending conflicts, as well as his belief they weren't accomplishing enough, supposedly drove Arthur to suicide, however he did not die.
