Character History

Don't Look Back

Eden runs into Chandra's son Mohinder Suresh after his encounter with the exterminator in the hallway outside of Chandra's appartment in New York. Eden is eager to assist Mohinder with investigating his father's theories, and the two of them become friends.

Eden discovers the portable hard drive in the lizard Mohinder's terrarium.

One Giant Leap

Eden continues to help Mohinder with his research while he stays in his father's old apartment. After Mohinder discovers his father's hidden journal, the two of them travel to an apartment listed under the name Sylar.

Better Halves

When Mohinder decides to go back to Madras, India to scatter his father's ashes and return to his old life, Eden kisses him in an effort to convince him to return.

Shortly after Mohinder leaves, Eden calls Mr. Bennet to update him on what she has learned, that Peter Petrelli may have the power of flight, and that there may also be "somebody who can stop time". When she asks what to do about the "precog", Mr. Bennet tells her to "bring him in", and Eden later shows up at Isaac's studio.

Seven Minutes to Midnight‎

Eden enters a room with Isaac sitting in a hospital bed. She comforts him, letting him know that she is here to help, and that she had gone through the same thing herself. She tells him that together they will stop his vision from occurring. Afterwards, she walks through a makeshift gallery of Isaac's paintings, focusing on a recent painting of Charlie.

Later, Isaac's rehabilitation is not proceeding as fast as Mr. Bennet desires. Mr. Bennet tells Eden that she must use force Isaac to take drugs so he can paint a picture showing the location of Sylar. They argue, and Eden says she was told she'd never have to "do it" again. Mr. Bennet asks Eden if she even remembers what she was when he found her. He gives Eden a needle and tells her that she's the easy way and that they both know what the hard way is. Eden enters Isaac's room and appears to be trying to convince him to take the drugs, but Isaac resists. Eden whispers into his ear and Isaac takes the needle.

Powers

Eden appears to have the special ability of vocal Suggestion. In her conversation with Mr. Bennet in Better Halves, Mr. Bennet infers that she could have used her ability on Mohinder to convince him to stay in New York City. Later, she is seen using her ability on Isaac to convince him to take drugs to accelerate his precognition ability.

Memorable Quotes

Suresh just left for India.

Then stop him.

I tried.

We both know you can try harder.

- Eden, Mr. Bennet

Notes

• Eden calls Chandra Suresh "Papa Suresh" due to her inability to properly pronounce his name.
• Eden tells Isaac that she can help him paint the future without drugs because she has been through it herself. It is not made explicit whether Eden means drug abuse or learning to use her powers, but her conversation with Mr. Bennet makes the former seem the more likely.
