About
The New York artist Isaac Mendez had the ability to paint the future. An additional series of paintings - which he painted prior to his death at the hands of Sylar - was intercepted en route from the Company to an unknown location when Kellie set fire to the transport van, causing it to crash into Common Grounds in NYC. While most of these paintings wound up at the loft of Back Alley stripper Sydney Ransom for safekeeping, save for the one in Jack Derex's possession, they were later reclaimed by The Company when Niki Sanders and D.L. Hawkins were "hired" to steal them back.
