'''Noah Bennet''' is a former agent of [[the Company]] who also served as its field manager and one of their trainers, and was originally based out of [[Primatech Paper Co.]] Having almost thirty years of experience [[Bag and tag|bagging and tagging]] [[evolved humans]], Noah continued his work as part of the Company even after his daughter [[Claire]] [[Revelation of evolved humans|revealed]] the existence of evolved humans to the world, something that strained their relationship. After Claire was seemingly killed at the [[Odessa Unity Summit]] on June 13th, Noah had his memory of the event [[mental manipulation|erased]] for an unknown reason and began a new life as "Ted Barnes". Noah was eventually tracked down by [[Quentin Frady]], who set him on a path to discover the truth about what really happened to him and his daughter on June 13th, as well as what Primatech's new owner [[Renautas]] is planning for the world.

===[[Webisode:Dark Matters, Part 5]]===
===[[Heroes Reborn]]===
The elaborate [[Quentin's board|clue board]] that [[Quentin Frady]] creates includes Noah's picture and name.
''For an episode-by-episode summary, see '''[[Noah Bennet/Heroes Reborn|Noah Bennet: Heroes Reborn History]]'''.''
 
One of the files that [[Quentin]] downloads from the [[Renautas]] root directory is titled "Noah Bennet".
 
===[[Webisode:Dark Matters, Part 6]]===
Three weeks ago, as [[Renautas]] agents capture him, [[Micah Sanders]], aka Hero Truther, orders [[Quentin Frady]] to locate Noah.
 
In the present, Quentin locates Noah with his stolen Renautas files working as a used car salesman named Ted Barnes. As Micah and [[Phoebe Frady|his sister]] are now in the hands of Renautas, Quentin sees Noah as his only chance to stop Renautas. He states that Noah left Primatech after [[Odessa Unity Summit|the June 13th bombing]] and went off-the-grid. Quentin wonders if Noah knows that Renautas is continuing the Company's work and using [[bagging and tagging|Noah's methods]] to hunt down innocent people. Quentin believes that as Noah knows Renautas' methods, he's the only one who can stop them. Seeing Noah as "the man with the plan," Quentin intends to ask Noah's help in rescuing Micah and Phoebe and stopping Renautas' plans.
 
===[[Episode:Brave New World (Heroes Reborn)|Brave New World]]===
Before walking into the [[Odessa Unity Summit]] on [[June 13, 2014|June 13th, 2014]], Noah leaves [[Claire]] a voice message telling her how proud he is of her for making it possible for [[evolved humans]] to be themselves out in the open without fear of persecution. He walks inside the summit to find her, but is stunned by a massive explosion. When he comes to his senses, he finds that the summit has been destroyed and thousands killed, Claire seemingly among them.
 
One year later, Noah has begun a new life as "Ted Barnes", a [[Zundermann Motors|car salesman]] with a fiancée, [[Julia]], in [[Austin, Texas]]. Noah soon notices that [[Quentin Frady|someone]] is following him. When his stalker follows him home, Noah confronts him in the street, and demands to know why he is following him. Noah's stalker reveals himself as a conspiracy theorist who needs Noah's help in discovering what really happened on June 13th, since Noah's name is on hundreds of documents that were shredded around the time of the incident. Noah tells him that Claire died that day and he has gone over it many times but can't remember anything out of the ordinary. Quenitn tells him he wouldn't remember if someone didn't want it and is then arrested and taken away, but he has succeeded in making Noah question what really happened that day. That night, Noah finds his diary and flips to the June 13th entry, finding nothing but a card for [[Lumiere Ophthalmology]] that tells him to "[[see more clearly]]". Noah looks up the address of the business, visits it, and meets [[René]]. Noah is confused, so René tells him to meet him at a park bench across the street, where they will talk. When they meet at the bench, René gives Noah his [[horn-rimmed glasses]] back, and then tries to strangle him with a wire. During the struggle that follows, Noah draws [[The Company's guns|his old gun]] and René is fatally shot during the struggle. Distraught, Noah demands to know why his old friend tried to kill him and René tells him that he did it on Noah's own orders as part of his "perfect plan." Noah realizes that René [[mental manipulation|wiped his memory]] which René confirms, telling him that Noah needed to forget. Noah asks René what he needed to forget, but René just tells him "[[the H.E.L.E.|its coming, its coming]]" before dying without saying anything more. Distraught and confused, Noah leaves the scene in search of some answers.
 
===[[Episode:Odessa|Odessa]]===
A distraught Noah cleans [[Rene]]'s blood off his hands in a bathroom and flashes back on Rene telling him he [[mental manipulation|needed to forget something]] and that "[[the H.E.L.E.|its coming]]." Breathing heavily, Noah stares at himself in the mirror.
 
Noah bails [[Quentin Frady]] out of jail and explains that he went to visit a friend about his memory and [[Odessa Unity Summit|June 13th]] before Rene tried to kill him and Noah killed him in return. Noah explains that [[Lumiere Ophthalmology|Rene's place]] was a front for some kind of operation and was cleaned out when Noah went back. Noah demands that Quentin tell him everything he knows and doesn't respond when Quentin asks if Noah will kill him too if he doesn't comply. Entering the car, Noah touches Rene's [[symbol necklace|necklace]] which hangs from his rearview mirror.
 
Noah and Quentin drive along the road and Quentin explains that he was hired by [[Renautas]] to scan digitize any files relating to [[Primatech]]. Quentin tells Noah he eventually started reading the files, commenting on how ironic it was that a tech giant like Renautas bought a small paper company like Primatech. Quentin asks why Noah left Primatech and he explains he left after the [[Odessa Unity Summit]] where [[Claire Bennet|Claire]] had died. Noah wonders how he survived, telling Quentin he'd previously believed his memory loss to be from the trauma of the explosion, but Claire was at the summit too and he didn't save her. Noah needs to know why he didn't save her and Quentin tells Noah he believes Renautas was behind the whole slaughter. When Noah tells him that its not what the world believes, Quentin points out that Noah knows [[Mohinder Suresh]] and asks if he's the kind of person capable of mass murder. Noah admits that he's not and wonders why Renautas is framing, disappearing and killing evolved humans. Quentin tells Noah that's why he came to find Noah, because he figured if anyone had answers, it was Noah. Noah just tells Quentin they need to get to [[Odessa, Texas]] as he needs his files so he can locate [[Molly Walker]], an [[evo]] who can [[clairvoyance|track down anyone]]. Primatech had built a whole system around Molly ten years before and they need to get to her before Renautas does.
 
Quentin and Noah pull up outside [[Primatech Paper Co.|Primatech's]] ruins where Quentin grows worried due to warning signs for deadly toxins as he hadn't heard anything about deadly toxins on the site and wonders if something was found after the clean-up. Noah tells Quentin he believes its just to scare people away from the premises and drives through the gate against Quentin's objections. The two enter the ruins where Quentin questions how if Renautas was using the site, why didn't they rebuild it, but Noah tells him [[Level 5]] is where everything happens. Noah breaks through a celling panel into an intact hallway outside his office. Entering a secret room, Noah and Quentin begin searching through Noah's files for anything on Renautas or Molly Walker before Quentin finds a list of people absent from the summit. On the list is both Claire and Molly, surprising Noah as he doesn't remember any of it. Noah tells Quentin that all he can remember from June 13th was arriving at Primatech for the summit and then he only knows what the rest of the world knew. Noah is stunned at the realization that Claire was not at the summit afterall and thus did not die there as he'd always believed. Quentin starts questioning what it means that Claire didn't die at the summit and what it means for Renautas' plans causing Noah to demand to know what Quentin wants. Quentin tells him about [[Phoebe Frady|his missing sister]] and asks if Noah had [[bagging and tagging|kidnapped her]]. After Noah confirms he didn't, Quentin tells him he has reason to believe that Phoebe didn't die at Primatech either on June 13th and the things he's found don't add up. Noah explains that he hadn't spoken to Claire in years after she [[revelation of evolved humans|came out to the world]] and he's upset that he didn't get the chance to make things right or save Claire. Quentin suggests that while there may not be answers at Primatech for him, there may be for Noah and offers his help in searching for them. Noah and Quentin agree to work together to find out the truth about what happened at Primatech on June 13th.
 
As they leave, Noah and Quentin hear the shots and Noah sends Quentin to the car while he uses the elevator to descend to Level 5. There, Noah finds a computer screen detailing "Midian Assets" showing how much each is contained. The screen shows Molly Walker, Data Lost. As Noah looks around in horror, he spots the barely alive Stevens and asks him what happened. Stevens explains that Renautas found a way to monetize the [[evo]]s to save the world. Noah starts to ask how they will find the evos and then realizes that Molly Walker could find them. Stevens tells him that the "[[E.P.I.C]] system goes online tomorrow" and they can't find the evos without her. Noah tries to ask if Renautas has Molly in Midian, but Stevens dies before he can answer.
 
Noah emerges from the ruins of Primatech to find Quentin has been shot in the arm and his car stolen by Luke and Joanne along with his files on the identities and locations of all evos. Noah tells Quentin what he's learned: Renautas is using powers to create new technologies and plans to launch a new product called E.P.I.C. driven by Molly's powers. Noah promises to find something to patch Quentin up as they must now make their way to [[Midian, Colorado]] to stop Renautas.
 
===[[Episode:Under the Mask|Under the Mask]]===
Noah breaks into a truck and begins hotwiring it as [[Quentin Frady|Quentin]] complains about not simply taking a faster method of travel than driving such as a plane or a train. Noah explains that after what happened at [[Primatech Paper Co.|Primatech]], [[Renautas]] will be looking for them so its not safe. Quentin complains about his shoulder wound and Noah promises to patch him up once they reach a gas station before they drive off in the stolen truck.
 
Noah takes Quentin to [[St. Jude's Hospital]] where they watch a report of [[aurora]]s being seen further south than ever before on the news as they wait for Quentin to be seen by a doctor. Quentin suggests that since Renautas is using [[Molly Walker]]'s [[clairvoyance|powers]] to build [[E.P.I.C|new technology]], the [[evo]]s Noah [[bagging and tagging|bagged and tagged]] for Primatech may have suffered the same fate. At that moment, a nurse calls for Quentin and Noah tells him to claim that it was a construction accident and a nail gun as the bullet went straight through, meaning that they won't have to tell people that Quentin got shot.
 
As Noah waits, [[Dr. Moore]] approaches him and comments on how surprising it is to see Noah back at the hospital. Noah, not remembering the doctor, asks when he was last there and is told it was on [[June 13, 2014]]. Doctor Moore asks Noah to wait a minute before going and calling security. However, when he turns around, Noah is gone. When Quentin returns to the waiting room, he also finds Noah gone and hears that the guards are looking for him over the radio of a passing guard.
 
Noah pulls [[The Company's guns|his gun]] on [[Norris]] and asks why the guards are looking for him. Norris explains that he put a guard in the hospital a year ago and as Noah [[mental manipulation|can't remember]], he demands that Norris show him on the security footage. In the security room, Norris brings up footage of Noah talking to someone off-screen, but can't get a shot on who he is talking to. He then finds him in the morgue where the footage appears to jump around like a time jump and Noah realizes that [[Hiro Nakamura]] is involved. Noah is shocked when he sees himself looking at [[Claire Bennet|Claire's]] body in the morgue as she didn't die in the hospital from what he knows. However, Norris is unable to get a better angle so Noah asks him to bring up the hospital records so he can discover how Claire died. As Norris complies, Noah notices something on one of the cameras and has Norris stop the footage. Noah sees himself walking through the hospital with Molly Walker and is stunned before nearly shooting Quentin when he comes in. Quentin tells him they need to get out of there and as the guards call for Norris to check in, Noah and Quentin flee.
 
Getting out of the hospital, Noah and Quentin take off in their stolen truck and Noah tells Quentin he was in the hospital on June 13th and saw Claire's body in the security footage meaning she died in the hospital. When Quentin asks how Claire could've died due to [[rapid cellular regeneration|her power]], Noah tells him he's been wondering that for a year and distraughtly asks why he didn't reach out to Claire and had the knowledge of how she died erased. Noah remembers that [[Rene]] told him he wasn't supposed to know the plan he'd made so he wonders if this has anything to do with it. He also tells Quentin about Molly being there and how the footage kept skipping. Noah tells Quentin it as if someone was [[space-time manipulation|manipulating time]] and the only person he knows who can do that is Hiro Nakamura who he also doesn't remember talking to. Noah suggests that Molly may have the answers they are looking for but if Renautas has digitized her powers they may be after the same answers which they can't be allowed to get.
 
At [[Renautas Headquarters]], Noah and Quentin roll under a closing garage door after Molly is driven through in an SUV. Noah draws his gun while Quentin demands to know what their plan is now that they're inside Renautas. Noah apologizes then punches Quentin in the arm, reopening his gunshot wound. After making sure Quentin won't scream, Noah drags him inside Renautas. As Molly is being led to [[M. F. Harris|Harris]], Quentin makes a scene, allowing Noah to sneak up behind the guards and pistol-whip one, forcing the other to disarm himself and then knocking him out. Noah tells a surprised Molly that she needs to come with them, but she tells Noah that she's not going anywhere with him. Noah tells Molly he knows she was with him on June 13th but he had his memory wiped and he needs to know what she knows about what happened. However, Molly tells him "there's too much at risk. You shouldn't have come" before running off. Noah tries to go after her but is stopped by Quentin who tells him that there's no time.
 
From behind a window, Noah and Quentin watch as [[Erica Kravid]] launches [[E.P.I.C]], a system that will allow them to locate every evo on the planet which will allow them to scan anyone, anywhere at anytime to determine if they are an evo. Noah is horrified to see E.P.I.C in action which Erica announces is being used at that moment by first responders and select military personnel around the world to scan for any hostile evos. As Noah and Quentin watch, Erica tells her audience that the evos can't run or hide and demonstrates it by using E.P.I.C to reveal [[Myles Stevens]], a man in the room as an evo. Quentin tells Noah that Renautas is going to find all of the evos now and if they can harness Molly's powers like they did, who knows what they could do with the powers of all the evos in the world. Noah tells Quentin they have to rescue Molly and destroy E.P.I.C.
 
===[[Episode:The Needs of the Many|The Needs of the Many]]===
Noah and [[Quentin Frady|Quentin]] wait outside [[Renautas Headquarters]] looking for a chance to get in. Noah tells Quentin they have to get into the research lab and admits that it won't be easy. However, Noah reminds Quentin of [[E.P.I.C]] and tells him that with it online, no one is safe. Quentin worries that [[Renautas]] is doing the same to [[Phoebe Frady|his sister]] and Noah tells him to follow his lead as they try to find a way in.
 
Quentin gets [[Taylor Kravid]]'s attention before Noah comes up behind her and puts [[The Company's guns|his gun]] in her back and tells her she doesn't know them, but she knows their friend [[Molly Walker]] who she's going to help them break out. Noah pulls Taylor into a secluded location, demanding to know what she knows about Renautas' research division and its security. Taylor realizes who Noah is, calling him "the original [[bagging and tagging|bag and tagger]]." Noah asks how anyone could put their own daughter into this line of work and Taylor tells him that [[Erica Kravid|her mother]] trusts her. Noah suggests that Erica just doesn't care if Taylor gets shot while Quentin tells her that he almost met Erica once after the [[Odessa Unity Summit|summit bombing]] having just wanted a minute with her to ask about his sister. Quentin tells her that security was too tight for him to get close enough but now he has the chance to get all of his answers. When Taylor asks what they're hoping to find out, Quentin points out that Erica is kidnapping innocent people. Taylor tells them that they have no idea what Erica is trying to accomplish but Noah asks if she does and what it is that Erica is trying to accomplish by locking up and torturing human beings. When Taylor protests that Noah has no way of knowing that, Noah tells her that the people are humans and Taylor has to have seen that. Noah tells Taylor that all parents will lie to their children to protect them from the truth and he's not asking Taylor to betray her mother, just to question her. He and Quentin then let Taylor go.

===[[Episode:Game Over|Game Over]]===
Noah forces [[Harris]] to take him to a facility where [[Hiro]] is kept prisoner and discovers that he's actually trapped in the game ''[[Evernow]]''. The only way to free him is for [[Miko Otomo]] to sacrifice herself. While Quentin distracts Phoebe, Noah holds off Harris and his clones. Eventually Miko succeeds and Noah sends [[Ren]] home. Noah finds Phoebe in the process of murdering Quentin and knocks her out, but not before Quentin is mortally wounded. Noah comforts Quentin as he dies and is then confronted by Harris. Noah tries to convince Harris that Erica is just using him, but Harris doesn't care and fires at Noah. Suddenly, [[Space-time manipulation|time freezes]] around Noah and Hiro appears from the video game. While pleased to see Noah, Hiro is reluctant to do as Noah wishes and take him back in time to [[June 13, 2014]] to change history. However, Noah convinces him due to all the people killed due to Erica's efforts and how she had held Hiro captive to prevent him from stopping her. Asking Noah not to step on any butterflies, Hiro grabs Noah and teleports away with him.
 
On June 13, 2014, Noah and Hiro appear outside of the [[Odessa Unity Summit]] and Noah assures Hiro he has a plan before the two walk towards the summit.

Noah Bennet is a former agent of the Company who also served as its field manager and one of their trainers, and was originally based out of Primatech Paper Co. Having almost thirty years of experience bagging and tagging evolved humans, Noah continued his work as part of the Company even after his daughter Claire revealed the existence of evolved humans to the world, something that strained their relationship. After Claire was seemingly killed at the Odessa Unity Summit on June 13th, Noah had his memory of the event erased for an unknown reason and began a new life as "Ted Barnes". Noah was eventually tracked down by Quentin Frady, who set him on a path to discover the truth about what really happened to him and his daughter on June 13th, as well as what Primatech's new owner Renautas is planning for the world. Noah ultimately sacrificed himself to save the world by acting as the conduit for his grandchildren's powers to stop the H.E.L.E.

About

To most of the world, Noah Bennet seems like a typical, if slightly geeky, suburbanite father. His loyalty to his family and his loyalty to his profession are frequently at odds. While it's clear that he loves Claire very much and would do anything to protect her, his methods indicate a level of ruthlessness that conflicts with his genuinely caring nature. For example, while he seems to initially show real concern for Isaac's well being and rehabilitation, he does not hesitate to have Eden use her persuasive powers to make Isaac use heroin again when he believes he needs to make use of Isaac's precognitive abilities. Similarly, while his use of the Haitian's memory modifying ability on Brody seems somewhat restrained given his intense anger at the boy, the casual use of the same ability on Zach and even his own family shows that his dedication to his job — and to keeping Claire safe — knows no limits. He does seem to possess his own moral code, though, as his intense reactions to Sylar's murders and Eden's father's callousness attest.

Character History

Season One

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Noah Bennet: Season One History.


Noah's memories are erased after betraying the Company.

Spying on and confronting Mohinder Suresh, Mr. Bennet appears to work for an organization that is involved in the death of Chandra Suresh. But Mr. Bennet also has a non-work persona who lives and cares for his adopted daughter Claire, his wife Sandra, and his son Lyle in their home in Odessa, TX. He tries to protect his family from the dangers of his work using his partner, the Haitian, to erase their memories when needed.

Based out of the Primatech Paper Co., Mr. Bennet, the Haitian, and Eden carry out the capture, evaluation, and release of people with special abilities. However, this work gets out of hand when two of the people, Matt Parkman and Ted Sprague, invade Mr. Bennet's home, burn it down, and almost blow up the neighborhood. They expose his daughter's ability and force him to send her on the run with his partner. Later, Mr. Bennet gets a new partner that exposes what he has done, and ends up on the run himself with Matt and Ted. Mr. Bennet decides they need to take out the Company's tracking systems used for locating people with special abilities. He sends one of his recruits to take out the satellite system while he, Matt, and Ted go to New York City to destroy another--the Walker system.

After discovering that the Walker system is a girl, they decide to rescue instead of kill her. However, they learn that a threat known as Sylar is near. Mr. Bennet uses Molly to locate Peter Petrelli to fight Sylar. He tries to help Peter, but is hurt and is only able to be a witness. Mr. Bennet watches Nathan fly Peter into the atmosphere where the explosion occurs. After the commotion is over, Bennet tells Claire that they should go home. Claire mentions that their house burned down, but Bennet tells her that home is anywhere their family is together.

Season Two

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Noah Bennet: Season Two History.


Noah faces seven out of the eight paintings.

Noah and his family have moved to Costa Verde as the "Butlers" and try to avoid detection from the Company. Meanwhile, Noah has teamed with Mohinder to take down the Company from the inside. Sandra picks up a newspaper one day and shows Noah an article about Kaito Nakamura's death. Noah tells her that he knew this would happen, and shows Sandra an old painting by Isaac Mendez depicting Kaito laying in a pool of blood. He tells her that it's part of a series of eight paintings, but that he was only given the first one and needs to find the rest. The Haitian joins Noah after being cured from a virus by Mohinder, and the partners seek out the paintings after Mohinder finds a painting of Noah lying dead.

Noah and the Haitian arrive in Odessa, Ukraine and find Ivan, Noah's old mentor. Noah interrogates the old man to find the location of the paintings, then kills him. In a warehouse, Noah and the Haitian find the remaining six paintings by Isaac, placing them in order. The paintings depict several things, including a vial, an angry blond woman, two men sword-fighting, Mohinder firing a gun, and Noah's death. Noah calls Mohinder, and warns him not to get too close to the Company when he discovers a painting in the warehouse of Mohinder holding a Company gun. Noah then returns home to Costa Verde where he discovers Claire is secretly dating West, even though Noah ordered her not to because it could jeopardize their safety. He then tells his family they're moving because of what Claire has done, but Claire refuses to go saying they should leave without her.

Noah's foretold "death".

Attempting to avoid his own death as foretold in the painting, Noah goes to find West so they can save Claire. On the way, Noah learns of Mohinder's betrayal and plots to stop the Company. He and West go to meet with Mohinder, where they knock out and kidnap Elle. Noah learns that Claire has been kidnapped and calls Bob to arrange a trade. During the meeting, Bob releases Claire and Noah releases Elle, who walk by each other. West tries to fly Claire away, but Elle shoots them down with a lightning bolt. Noah then shoots Elle and threatens to kill Bob, but Mohinder shoots Noah in the eye. Noah dies, but heals and awakens on a hospital bed in an empty room with an IV of Claire's blood in his arm.

While being held, Bennet tells Mohinder that he made a mistake by aiding the Company. Mohinder responds that he helped the Company save lives and stopped Noah's paranoia and violence. When Bennet is told that he was healed with Claire's blood, he panics and demands to know where his daughter is. Mohinder dryly answers that Claire is safe at home. He is locked in a cell and sits idly bouncing a ball against a wall. Elle asks him to tell her about her past. He tells her about the testing her father arranged to see the extent of her ability. Later, Bob tells Noah that Claire is becoming a problem. Noah smiles, but when Bob says that it's unfortunate and that they may have to take drastic measures, the grin on his face disappears. Noah arrives at his home, shocking Claire and his family. He says that he didn't plan any of this but has found a way to protect all of them. He has to go back with the Company, much to everyone's dismay.

Season Three

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Noah Bennet: Season Three History.


Sylar and Noah are assigned as partners.

Noah is released from Level 5 following the death of Bob Bishop. He shoots Sylar and is knocked out after learning that he can regenerate. Noah briefly returns home to Costa Verde, where he places Meredith as his family's protector. Noah returns to Primatech to hunt down the villains but is less than pleased with his new partner, Sylar. Together, Noah and Sylar manage to bring in Flint Gordon before they go after Stephen Canfield. Claire is outraged that Noah is working with Sylar and even more outraged when Noah tries to get Stephen to make Sylar disappear. Noah and Sylar's partnership ends shortly after that.

Noah recruits Meredith to be his partner and together, they rescue the victims of Mohinder Suresh. After bringing in Danny Pine, Noah takes Claire back to the Canfield house and begins to train her. During the eclipse, Claire is shot and is unable to heal. Noah uses this eclipse as a chance to hunt down Sylar. He finds him and Elle hiding in a supermarket storage area and manages to kill Sylar by slitting his throat. Noah returns home and is attacked by Elle and the revived Sylar. Hiro Nakamura arrives and saves the Bennet family from the two villains. Noah returns to Primatech where he, Angela, Meredith and Claire prepare to take down Pinehearst. They are all stopped when Sylar shuts down the building and traps them inside. After releasing the remaining Level 5 detainees, Noah is trapped inside a cell with Meredith, who is losing control of her power. Claire rescues Noah, who gets Angela out of the building safely after Claire kills Sylar. Noah then returns to get Claire out before Meredith explodes.

Matt digs through Noah's memories.

Two months later, Noah begins working with Nathan to capture evolved humans for the government. Claire is furious with her father, who once again tries to live a double life to keep Sandra and Lyle in the dark. Sandra finds out what he is doing and the two of them break up, forcing Noah to move out. He is captured by Peter, Matt and Mohinder, who use Matt's unique interrogation skills to extract memories from him. Via this method, it is revealed that Noah only began working with Nathan to keep Claire from becoming a target.

Noah returns to Building 26 after a meeting with Angela Petrelli and attempts to become one of the agents that Danko trusts. Following Nathan's exposure, Noah offers to give Danko Rebel, who has been helping people escape his clutches. Noah finds Tracy Strauss and offers her a deal to bring in Rebel. Unfortunately, Tracy dies and Noah is forced to bring in a different target, Angela Petrelli. Noah does not bring in Angela and, after learning that Danko has killed Sylar, becomes obsessed with finding out if the killer is really dead. Noah is fooled by Sylar, who changes his appearance in order to make Noah seem like a killer. Noah becomes a fugitive and meets up with Peter, Nathan, Angela and Claire at the Coyote Sands. While there, Noah tells Claire the truth about why he joined Building 26. Angela reveals that she intends to start a new Company with them but the meeting is cut short when Alice Shaw creates a storm that interferes with their plans. After their time at the sands ends, Noah and the others all agree that starting a new Company is a good idea.

Noah is soon captured by Danko's team and placed in confinement with Danko himself. The two of them agree to work together to stop Sylar once and for all and manage to escape following a mysterious event within Building 26. Danko goes back on his word and is stopped by Hiro. Noah manages to find Peter and Claire and soon rejoins Angela and Matt, who have found Nathan's dead body. Thinking quickly, Noah and Angela get Matt to force Sylar into believing he is Nathan, finally "killing" Sylar once and for all.

Notes

Trivia

The license specifically gives no first name, stating his name as just "Bennet". He signs his name the same way. It otherwise appears to be a normal state ID for Texas.
    • According to the license, Noah is an organ donor.
  • His Visa card, on the other hand, appears to list two names. (Family Man)
  • In an an interview, Tim Kring's original script for the pilot listed this character's name only as "H.R.G." — standing for Horn-Rimmed Glasses.
  • Bennet is a variant of "Bennett", meaning "blessed". Incidentally, Mr. Bennet and his wife had difficulty conceiving a child. Then one day, Bennet was blessed with a baby girl whom he held very dearly. In several Graphic Novels, Bennet's name is written as Bennett.

However, it should be noted that Noah is not Claire's birth father, and did not even meet his daughter until early February 28, 1992. Additionally, the date of birth listed on the birth certificate directly contradicts August 6, 1962, the date listed on Noah's license. Most likely, the birth certificate has been doctored or is a fake.
