History
Graphic Novel:War Buddies, Part 2
Daniel Linderman and Mr. Petrelli serve together during the Vietnam War.
Parasite
Nathan tells Quesada that Mr. Petrelli once worked as an attorney in the firm which represented the Linderman Group.
.07%
Linderman tells Nathan that he and many others found each other, and they tried to save the world, but some lost their way and the group split.
Landslide
Kaito tells Hiro that years ago he had allies--others with power. He says that they fought to save the world until some lost their way.
How to Stop an Exploding Man
In one of Peter's dreams, Peter sees a past conversation at the Deveaux building involving three members of the group of twelve: Angela and Charles talk about Linderman's involvement in Nathan's election.
Four Months Later
Kaito Nakamura, speaking to Angela Petrelli, acknowledges Charles Deveaux, Mr. Linderman, and Mr. Petrelli as fellow members of a group of twelve--of whom nine remain--who once tried to find evolved humans. Kaito tells Angela they are in danger. Later that night, Kaito is killed by someone he recognizes.
Lizards
Angela's fingerprint is found on the picture of Kaito, and she is questioned by the police. She tells of her past history with Kaito and the symbol on the photo being that of her husband's law firm.
The Kindness of Strangers
Angela admits to killing Kaito, but Matt, using telepathy, hears Angela's thoughts to tell him to back down, or else the investigation will expose all of them. Matt, in pursuit of the truth, asks Nathan for help, and Nathan tells Matt that he has the entire photo that was found on Kaito and Angela.
Later, Nathan shows Matt the photo of the twelve on Charles Deveaux's rooftop. These people include Bob, Angela, Kaito, Mr. Petrelli, Linderman, Charles, and Maury Parkman, an unnamed woman, and four other individuals.
Fight or Flight
Matt and Nathan burst into Maury Parkman's apartment and find Maury armed. They ask him why, and he shows them a death threat. Maury tells them that he, Angela, Mr. Petrelli, Kaito and Linderman found each other, and they tried to save the world.
Later, Maury escapes from Nathan and Matt, and Nathan finds a death threat with Bob's picture.
Notes
- Kaito makes a reference to the hooded killer which might include him or her as a member of the group. (Four Months Later...)
- Of the known members, only Daniel Linderman, Bob, and Maury Parkman have confirmed abilities. It seems likely, however, that others in the group are evolved humans.
- Some members of this group have ties to the Linderman Group and the Company.
- Heroes: The Mobile Game lists five of the founders of the Company to be: Arthur and Angela Petrelli, Maury Parkman, Kaito Nakamura, and Adam Monroe. It is yet unknown whether the founders of the Company are also the group of twelve.
- It appears that more than one version of Nathan's photograph exists. Whether this is a production error or intentional is unknown. There are different versions of the full-group photo, as well as multiple versions of the sub-set photos of Kaito and Angela's death threats.
- One full-size version of this photo shows Bob wearing a black suit, while another version shows a man in his position wearing a tan suit.
- Kaito's individual picture has two variations: one which has a person in a black suit standing to his left, and one with someone standing to his left wearing a tan suit.
- Angela's individual picture has two variations: one which shows her husband standing behind her right shoulder, and one with no one standing behind her.
- In the large photo of the twelve, there is no "cherub" behind Bob's left shoulder, yet in the ripped photo with Bob, the cherub is shown.
- There are two versions of Angela's ripped photo, with noticeably different marker thicknesses for the HEROES Symbol and ripped edges.
