René, commonly referred to as "the Haitian", is a supporting character in the TV series Heroes.
[edit] Description
Wearing a necklace which displays a symbol seen throughout the series, the Haitian is an aloof character. He is referred to almost exclusively as simply "the Haitian" until he is referred to as René by Claire in "Shadowboxing". He did not speak in any episode until "Fallout," and his associate Eden McCain expressed the belief that he is mute. He kissed his necklace before erasing Matt Parkman's memory, and expressed a belief in God — specifically, a belief that superpowers are a gift from God, and should be respected. He is one of the few characters who sees his powers in a highly positive light. So far, his main alliances are with Mr. Bennet, Bennet's daughter, Claire, and Angela Petrelli.
[edit] History
After Mohinder Suresh saved him from death in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, Mohinder and the Haitian planned to trick the Company that Mohinder's memory was wiped. When the Company arrives, the Haitian is whisked back to Costa Verde, California, while they recover Mohinder.
