"The Group of Twelve" is a group of elders who once worked together to find evolved humans. Much of their purpose, origin, and history remains to be revealed.

History

Graphic Novel:War Buddies, Part 2

Daniel Linderman and Mr. Petrelli serve together during the Vietnam War.

Parasite

Nathan tells Quesada that Mr. Petrelli once worked as an attorney in the firm which represented the Linderman Group.

Landslide

Kaito tells Hiro that years ago he had allies--others with power. He says that they fought to save the world until some lost their way.

How to Stop an Exploding Man

In one of Peter's dreams, Peter sees a past conversation at the Deveaux building involving three members of the group of twelve: Angela and Charles talk about Linderman's involvement in Nathan's election.

Four Months Later

Kaito Nakamura, speaking to Angela Petrelli, acknowledges Charles Deveaux, Mr. Linderman, and Mr. Petrelli as fellow members of a group of twelve--of whom nine remain--who once tried to find evolved humans. Kaito tells Angela they are in danger. Later that night, Kaito is killed by someone he recognizes.

Lizards

Angela's fingerprint is found on the picture of Kaito, and she is questioned by the police. She tells of her past history with Kaito and the symbol on the photo being that of her husband's law firm.

Notes

• Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite, in a CBR Q&A discussion, state that Bob is a member of the group of twelve.
• Kaito makes a reference to the hooded killer which might include him or her as a member of the group. (Four Months Later...)
• Of the known members, only Daniel Linderman and Bob have confirmed abilities. It seems likely, however, that others in the group are evolved humans.
• Some members of this group have ties to the Linderman Group.
