All characters that appear solely in the ''Heroes'' [[graphic novels]] should be listed as a "Graphic Novel Character". Each graphic novel character should belong to the portal of the main character it is related to. For example, if a [[Paris woman|Parisian woman]] sees [[Daphne]] steal, she is placed in the [[Portal:Daphne-Related Graphic Novel Characters]] portal, and has the {{[[Template:GN Daphne|GN Daphne]]}}</nowiki> navbar on her page. If a graphic novel character has no significant character it relates to, it is placed in [[Portal:Miscellaneous Graphic Novel Characters]] portal. |

On Heroes Wiki, characters are categorized by season.
Main characters
Each season, NBC announces the main characters by contract. Therefore, only characters listed as "Main" by NBC should be categorized under Main Characters.
- If a character is added to the Main Characters in the middle of a season (ex. Noah Bennet), the portal and navbar used for that season's character will be updated to include that character.
- If a character is removed from the Main Characters in the middle of a season (ex. Simone Deveaux), the portal and navbar stay the same: the character's name is not removed.
Recurring characters
If a non-main character has a certain number of appearances in a season, he or she will be classified as recurring characters. These characters are listed as "Recurring Characters" in the portals and navbars. The following shows how many appearances a character needs in one season to be considered "recurring". Note that shorter seasons require less appearances.
| Season | Number of appearances for a character to be considered "Recurring" |
|---|---|
| Season One | 4 appearances |
| Season Two | 3 appearances |
| Season Three | 4 appearances |
Minor characters
All characters that appear in Heroes, if not classified as main or recurring, are classified as "minor characters" and are put in one of the alphabetically-sorted portals. Minor characters are not linked individually on the character navbar as recurring and main characters are.
Graphic novel characters
All characters that appear solely in the Heroes graphic novels should be listed as a "Graphic Novel Character". Each graphic novel character should belong to the portal of the main character it is related to. For example, if a Parisian woman sees Daphne steal, she is placed in the Portal:Daphne-Related Graphic Novel Characters portal, and has the {{GN Daphne}} navbar on her page. If a graphic novel character has no significant character it relates to, it is placed in Portal:Miscellaneous Graphic Novel Characters portal.
Deceased characters
Once a character is confirmed to have died in Heroes, his/her page is updated. His/Her navbar entry is also italicized, to show that the character is deceased. Also, his/her portal entry is italicized and faded by adding deceased=true, to clearly show that the character is deceased.
If a character that appears in multiple seasons dies, he/she is only listed as "deceased" (i.e. italicized in navbars/portals) in the navbars or portals of the season that he/she died in. For example, since Adam Monroe died in Season Three, the Season Two characters navbar and portal still list Adam as alive since he was alive during Season Two.
Portals
Portals of characters should be sorted by season and by character type. In all portals, characters should be alphabetically listed. This includes the individual character-related portals for graphic novel characters.
A new character navbar is created for each season. Navbar entries should be alphabetically sorted.
