Nathan Petrelli, portrayed by
Adrian Pasdar, is a
fictional character on the
NBC science fiction drama series
Heroes. He is a
New York lawyer-turned-
senator with the power of self-propelled flight. Ambitious and pragmatic, Nathan has a decidedly
anti-hero streak, which exacerbates his complex relationship with his brother,
Peter Petrelli. Nathan was the main
villain at the beginning of
Volume 4: Fugitives, but, after being exposed as an evolved human by Danko, redeemed himself. After being killed in battle by
Sylar, a copy of Nathan's mind was created to control Sylar's body so he still lived in some form, but he eventually lost control to Sylar and was then dead for good.
