Each of the eight paintings depicts the death of a member of the group of twelve	1/8 depicts Kaito Nakamura, one of the group of twelve dead. (Four Months Later)	- It is unlikely that HRG, depicted dead in 8/8, was a member of the group as he joined the thirty year-old Company only fifteen years ago (Company Man), he took orders from Kaito (Company Man), and he did not know Linderman was a power behind the Company (.07%). + The painting might not be of Noah. • It could be that Noah's father is still alive and was a member of the group of twelve. • It could be one of the 12 masquerading as HRG with Illusion. - An illusion ends with the death of the illusionist. (Kindred) + Kaito stated that nine remain of the group of twelve. Kaito's last words would imply that the "Hooded killer" is one of these nine. The eight others of the group of twelve and the eight paintings may be more than coincidence.
The 8th painting does not picture the actual death of HRG.	None	+ Other paintings have shown the results of illusions, e.g. The President Stands Alone turned out to be Sylar, masquerading as Nathan. + Future events painted by Isaac have been prevented, e.g. the bomb did not go off in the middle of New York City in our current timeline. (How to Stop an Exploding Man). + Isaac could have altered the painting after he initially painted it.
