Character History
The Second Coming
While in Noah Bennet's house, Sylar, while stalking & hunting Claire throughout the house, finds a collection of evolved human files in one of Noah's boxes, one of which is on Knox. Sylar remarks the files are a "shopping list" of new abilities, and intends to take Knox's ability, as well as those of the other prisoners.
While in his cell, Knox, kept in a straight-jacket, paces back and forth repeatedly.
The Butterfly Effect
When Sylar does arrive, Elle Bishop ends the battle by unleashing a massive discharge that blows out Level 5's power grid, releasing a dozen prisoners. Knox gathers some together, including Jesse Murphy (inhabited by Peter Petrelli), Eric Doyle, Flint and the German, and leads them to escape Primatech Research.
Much later, the group has arrived at a gas station, where Knox and the others take their time murdering the other tenants. Knox stops Peter from calling Nathan and directs him to the car the German secures for them. Knox then convinces "Jesse" to come with them and escape, as sirens approach.
One of Us, One of Them

Evolved Human Abilities
Noah explains to Claire that Knox has the ability to feed off of a person's fear, turning it into his own strength. His assignment tracker profile lists his ability as enhanced strength.
According to his assignment tracker profile, Knox's control index is 85%. His data analysis shows his biological level at 45, cerebral at 75, elemental at 20, and temporal/spatial at 55.

Notes
- The casting call for Knox originally read "25. Male. African-American. Frightening and intense--with the eyes of a predator--Knox has returned to New Orleans with plans to reclaim the criminal territory he used to run before he was sent to prison." He was originally supposed to appear in at least episodes thirteen and fourteen of Season Two, but the plans were changed due to the writers strike. In actuality, Jamie Hector filmed an episode prior to the writers strike.
