*In an interview with Tawny Cypress, Charles is revealed to have an ability after all; he can send his consciousness through time to see the future and the past. Charles passed this ability onto Peter before his death (which accounts for his visions throughout the series) and leaves the door open for his character to return (as though his body is dead, his mind is still alive and could still visit Peter in a vision to provide guidance, encouragement, answers etc. such as in the Season 1 finale). |

Character History
Charles Deveaux is comatose and dying. Peter Petrelli serves as his home hospice nurse. Simone believes that Peter is "like a son to him" and that Charles has improved under Peter's care.
Peter quits his job as Charles's hospice nurse.
At the same time Peter has a dream about telling Charles about his powers, Charles dies. Simone tells Peter that Charles came around just before he died and said that he flew above the world with Peter, who told him everything would be okay.
Peter has a dream about the first time he met Simone. In that dream, Peter's mother appears to know Charles from before, and they speak about the explosion that will change the world. Charles thinks Peter should be the one guiding the world instead of Nathan. After Peter's mother leaves, Charles tells real-time Peter that he is the only one capable of stopping the bomb because he can love unconditionally.
Kaito Nakamura names Charles as a member of an elite group of twelve individuals.
