Noah Bennet was a former Paper Salesman for Primatech Paper, a cover company under which The Company (a group set up to monitor, track and regulate anyone possessing an 'ability) operated. His roles within The Company included, but were not limited to:

- Tracking - Bagging & Tagging - Killing, if necessary, and: - Helping the evolution of an ability.

His partners have included Sarah Ellis (Eden); The Haitian; Claude; Candice and Isaac Mendez (each possessing an ability, in correlation with the 'us and them' process The Company works under in which a person with an ability is paired with a human operative.

He was friendly with Thompson, Bob and Ivan (his superiors at The Company), right up until the point where he left The Company, determined to protect the daughter (Claire Bennet) he was forced to adopt.

His change in attitude came about when he was ordered to kill Claude, who was percieved as betraying the ideals of The Company by the mere fact that he dared hide an evolved human. When Mr. Bennet shot Claude, his priorities changed, and he was set on a course where he would endeavour to leave The Company if it meant protecting Claire.
