Mr. Linderman is a "business man" with apparent mafia connections. He is based in Las Vegas, NV and appears to use the hotel/gambling industry as cover for his illegal activities.
Character History
Nathan Petrelli calls Linderman from his campaign office in New York.
Niki Sanders owes Linderman money, which she cannot repay. Linderman seems determined to collect what he is owed, first sending two thugs to Sanders' home.
Niki tells Tina about the thugs, and that Mr. Linderman will track her down regardless of who is responsible for their deaths. She decides to run.
Linderman sends a corrupt police officer to retrieve Niki.
In the Montecito Casino, Linderman's hotel manager, Miss Sakamoto, makes a deal with Niki: in exchange for seducing Nathan Petrelli, Linderman will forgive her debt. Nathan visits Linderman's casino in Las Vegas hoping to obtain money for his campaign. Niki and Nathan meet up and spend some time together, but when Niki tries to back out of the deal, another of Linderman's thugs tries to change her mind.
Miss Sakamoto tells Niki that Mr. Linderman has reviewed the tape of her alter-ego's encounter with Nathan and discharges her debt. She later tells Nathan that the video is a favor he will repay Mr. Linderman for later. However, Nathan senses that this means his election is more important to Linderman than he believed, and leverages more money out of him.
Simone Deveaux tells Peter Petrelli that Mr. Linderman has bought Isaac Mendez's missing painting. Nathan talks with Linderman over the phone to attempt to retrieve the painting for his brother. Linderman sends the painting to Simone's gallery.
At Peter's graduation party, Nathan Petrelli tells his brother that the DA wants him to prosecute Mr. Linderman, which may cause trouble for their father. As Nathan and Heidi Petrelli are driving home, a van rear ends them, causing their car to crash. At the hospital, Nathan tells Peter that it was Mr. Linderman's goons, in response to him thinking about taking the case. Nathan says he will go through with the case if Peter gives a deposition, which he agrees to. The morning of the deposition, Nathan comes to Peter's apartment to tell him the deposition on Mr. Linderman has been cancelled after their father died from an apparent heart attack.
Aron Malsky, Linderman's representative, meets with D.L. Hawkins, who turns over the money Jessica had stolen to him. Malsky tells D.L. that he's in Linderman's debt now.
In New York City, Hiro Nakamura discovers that the sword of Takezo Kensei he thought he'd stolen from the Museum of Natural History is only a replica—and that the original is owned by Mr. Linderman. When Simone learns of this, she gives Hiro the dinosaur painting and says she will arrange a meeting with Linderman, explaining that he's a big client of hers who buys every one of Isaac's paintings that he can.
Mr. Linderman sends Aron Malsky to have Niki released from prison. Aron tells Niki that she is being exonerated, as a death row inmate has confessed to all the crimes with which Niki was being charged.
Mr. Linderman hires Jessica Sanders as an assassin to kill Aron Malsky, who apparently stole the $2 million that D.L. returned. After successfully killing Malsky, Linderman sends her another contract — targeting Nathan Petrelli.
Notes
- It is unclear what role (if any) Mr. Linderman played in the death row inmate's confession to Jessica's crimes.
Trivia
- According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a "linder" is "a woollen waistcoat or undershirt".
