Spoiler:
Bennet, who at the time worked for the Company and who's Claire's foster father, adopted Claire after she was left with him by the Company with them saying that if and when her powers manifest to let them know so they can take her.

In the meantime, Bennet seeks out people like Matt (mind reader), Isaac (paints the future), Nathan (flying politician), Ted (human atomic bomb), and other such characters within the series with his partner, the Haitian (stifles others from using their powers and can erase memories). Bennet's cover is that he's a "paper salesman" for Primatech Paper. Primatech was often a holding cell for some of the characters when they were abducted in the first season.

Typically when the Company sends out agents, they send them in pairs--one person an ordinary human, the other has powers. Bennet's original partner, Claude (power of invisibility), was "killed off" by the Company in that Bennet was instructed to kill him, but right after shooting him Claude went invisible and got away only to show up in the series to teach Peter how to hone his own power (a story for another time). I can't remember if the Company wanted Claude dead because they felt he was going rogue or if he knew too much.

Moving on, Sylar (power to know what's wrong with things, how to fix them and apparently takes others' powers by absorbing their brains somehow. Seriously no one knows or is sure what he does with brains when he gets them or how he absorbs the power, so that part's still a mystery) was captured by the Company after he nearly tried to kill Claire at her Homecoming. The intent of the Company was to monitor him and keep him contained, however, he escaped (another story for later). Sylar's responsible for the death of several characters and many who were on the show for barely even an episode.

Among the more positive things, they managed to get Isaac to clean up his drug habit and taught him that he doesn't need to use heroin to paint the future.

The major storyline of which the Company was tied last season was in the grim future of much of New York blowing up in a mysterious atomic explosion. As it turned out, Linderman (power to heal other organisms) who's an older associate of the Company which he described as being founded to save the world using the people who have powers to help all those who don't have any, was plotting for New York to explode in that those who survived would mourn, but then become united as a force to be reckoned with. Nathan who would have, at the time, been an elected official who could ease the pain of the mourning city would be regarded as a hero and then be elected to the presidency--if the plans went off without a hitch.

In a way, the Company wanted New York to blow up for the good of people coming together and becoming a unified nation (think how after 9/11 people were suddenly ridiculously patriotic and seemingly racism and other things halted because people united against the terrorists and so on). This story was actually lifted from Alan Moore's Watchman. Seriously, read it. It's AMAZING and it's going to be a movie soon.

If I missed anything since I'm just writing this all off the the top of my head, someone please add.

Rogue Posts: 4061/11918	I'm a very visual person when it comes to picturing things in my mind, so sometimes a little more than a description is needed to illustrate some points. Abel, being a non-muscular blond man--(I can't really find a picture of exactly what I want, but Tom Cruise's Lestat will have to do)--has shoulder-length hair, a lanky build and light-colored eyes. And no, Abel is not a vampire.: Cally is half-Filipino, mid-20s, brown hair and eyes. Tia Carrere is probably the closest to what I've seen Cally to be:
Rogue Posts: 3864/11918	Upon looking into it, it turns out Wireless' body is dead, but she's alive in the Internet. So you won't see her on the show, at least not physically, but she posts online and "hacks" Primatech whenever she feels like it. I recently submitted my cellphone number to Primatech's database and have received a couple text messages from Wireless saying that we'll talk more later in secret.
Rogue Posts: 3849/11918	Originally posted by Super Hiro Originally posted by Rogue as revealed by Wireless in season 1: Yeah, what happened to her... Hana appears much more prevalently in the graphic novels posted on NBC.com. "She" was also the one who guided people through the Primatech Paper conspiracy last year, sending people, who signed up on Priatech's website, cryptic e-mails and coded messages trying to tell people about the Company. I think she was also the one who revealed that the roll of paper over the P in Primatech has a hidden helix. Wireless is supposedly also keeping a blog or something like it that's keeping track of Heroes: Evolutions. http://samantha48616e61.com/ I still crack up calling Primatech's phone number (1-800-774-6216) and hearing that they're "always on the look-out for motivated people with abilities that fit [their] needs."

Rogue Posts: 3848/11918	All right, so now that the board is finally back up, I think I'll add in a few things here to help with some of the details. In my last post, Cally was "constructing" a pneumatic syringe. For those who haven't seen what it looks like, here are the directions in assembling it, as revealed by Wireless in season 1: More later.
Cairoi Posts: 2615/3807	It's cool, Rogue, I sent you a PM concerning your character's activity in the future. As for everybody else, I love how this is coming along!
Rogue Posts: 3818/11918	I just want to drop a line saying I'll be out of town for the next couple days as I'm driving out to Arizona with my boyfriend to have Thanksgiving with his family out there. As it is, my character is obviously not in the same place as the others, being a hit-woman and all, so I'm sure everything will run smoothly without me anyway. Hey, not every character makes it into every episode *cough cough Sylar lately cough cough wheeze*
Cairoi Posts: 2610/3807	Making it now, folks!
Rogue Posts: 3807/11918	Yeah, the whole notion of sex being a spiritual act wasn't as much of a commonly held belief as the idea that sex is a distraction from enlightenment and so on and so forth. Celibacy is definitely the more thoroughly accepted mantra.
Xeios Posts: 2435/2954	I can truly say I did not know that Rogue, but still, my character was born in America, it'd be tough for his momma to go over to China with 18 other kids in the house, just to have sex with a monk. XD But neat fact nonetheless. Oh, I'm sorry I called you a jerk FX, I was joking...dick. XD
FX Posts: 2754/3775	Originally posted by White On XGF it is, jerk... I meant you weren't the person he was waiting for.
Rogue Posts: 3806/11918	In some Buddhist monasteries, they did have spare rooms set about for the monks to have intercourse with local women as they saw sex as a spiritual act. Just sayin'. So in working out my character a bit more with Cairoi, we've made it so that Cally's power involves having to imagine everything entirely. Example: If she simply creates a bird, it could come out resembling a bird, but it wouldn't have any internal organs or anything of that nature so she has to think of every detail which as one would imagine could get pretty exhausting. She trains herself to think of the basics and more significant parts very quickly, but otherwise she only uses the power when necessary or when the situation isn't crucial. Hence, this should cut down on the idea that my character can just god-mod whenever she feels like it.

Xeios Posts: 2432/2954	That'd be me patiently awaits cheers marking his return to RP Name: Koan Tathata Age: 22 Nationality: Chinese-American Power: None discovered as of yet. Background: To say that Koan's birth parents were eccentric, would be quite the understatement. His parents were in their their forties when he was born, and they never lost sight of their strong liberal beliefs in free love, peace for all, and no contraception. Koan would be their 19th child. Many of whom, in the practices of free love, are of different nationalities, and there are a few illegitimate children roaming around the house from the father's exploits. Koan would have grown up in a home filled with children, poverty, and sharing. Instead, his parents were unable to support more than they already had, troubling times indeed, and they turned away their newborn, giving him to Koan's legitimate father, A Buddhist monk, whom took Koan safely away to the monastery he was raised in. The monk would have been disgraced had any known of his unsavory act, so he brought the child as one he 'found' on his recent pilgrimage. Koan was trained to be a monk, taught many different manners of focus, and the beliefs of Buddhism. His training went well, he was one of the best in the monastery at his martial arts training, he was a great philosopher, and he was idolized by his peers. Until one day, his actions managed to result in the death of a friend, a revelation of his birth to him, and an exile from the order. Though Koan believes he is innocent of what happened, it has been described as "horrific," "tragic," as well as a "disgrace to the order." Koan returned to his country of birth, and lived as a janitor at a local school, spending his nights filled with meditation.
Cairoi Posts: 2599/3807	Yo, guys, miss me? Yeah, I think I'll be starting this tonight. Still waiting on somebody who said they'd join, though.
Rogue Posts: 3794/11918	Yeah as I re-read my words, I meant to say it was more of a likeness than a blatant stealing as it might sound when reading over it. Moore might have inspired them, but it wasn't just flat out lifted from his work.
FX Posts: 2745/3775	Originally posted by Rogue Spoiler: I can't remember if the Company wanted Claude dead because they felt he was going rogue or if he knew too much. It's because he was leaking information Spoiler: This story was actually lifted from Alan Moore's Watchman. Seriously, read it. It's AMAZING and it's going to be a movie soon. I was thinking that it was just like it. Maybe not lifted, but they are definitely similar. Besides no one get's exploded... well... Peter... but not the same thing.
Rogue Posts: 3787/11918	Pretty much as FX/Super Hiro said, the Company's motives aren't exactly clear. They want to believe that they're good and doing the right thing, but characters like Noah Bennet (HRG) who used to work for the Company have come to believe that it's all a lie. If you need a comparison, think of how in X-Men Xavier finds other mutants using Cerebro, seeking out ones who are just discovering their power and aren't sure how to use it themselves or are too dangerous to themselves and other people, so he goes out and brings the X-Men with him to gather up the dangerous ones, bring them back to his institution, teach them how to use their power, and then recruit them into the X-Men after they've worked it out. Some in the Company believe it's a good organization that only doing what Xavier does, problem is they don't exactly let some people go and they keep them as prisoners. Heroes, in many ways, is X-Men meets the X-Files. For further, more in-depth explanation: SPOILER WARNING! Only continue if you don't want to find out for yourself watching the series!! Again, SPOILER WARNING The first season explained regarding the Company and if you'd consider them good or evil: Spoiler: Bennet, who at the time worked for the Company and who's Claire's foster father, adopted Claire after she was left with him by the Company with them saying that if and when her powers manifest to let them know so they can take her.

FX Posts: 2738/3775	The Company is an organization that captures, trains, contains, even destroys dangerous people with abilities. Where I am (just starting the second season) it's not quite clear whether they are good or bad just because of the format of the show, and how it deals with moral grey zones. If you wish, check out wikipedia.
