A '''fidayeen attack''' is a suicide tactic used by terrorists. Such attacks are especially common in the [[India|Indian]] state of [[Jammu and Kashmir]]. In a ''fidayeen'', an extremist equips himself (most ''fidayeens'' are men) with weapons and a sizeable amount of ammunition. He then proceeds to gain entrance into a public gathering or other crowded area and proceeds to open fire on law-enforcement personnel and the general public. He continues his attack till he runs out of ammunition, at which point he is either gunned down by security forces or committs suicide. ''Fidayeen'' militants sometimes do attempt to escape but are almost always shot by anti-terrorist squads shortly afterward due to the fact that the terrorists rarely have a "getaway" plan chalked out. These terrorists, like [[suicide bombers]] plan on being killed during the execution of the attack.

This is a '''list of [[fictional characters]]''' in the [[Television program|television series]] ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]''. The article details with [[major character|major]], [[recurring character|recurring]] and minor characters.
A Fidayeen attack is not a suicide attack. It is a different kind of [[Jihadi]] attack usually carried out by [[Lashkar-e-Toiba]] in Jammu and Kashmir. In this attack a Fidayee or [[Mujahid]] heavily armed enters into a military camp or convoy and start firing bullets and throwing grenades and fights till death. A fidayee does not blow himself up with explosives and if he gets a chance after fulfilling the mission he may try to escape. The record of the organization which introduced Fidayeen attack in Kashmir shows that more than 70 percent of the Fidayeen came back alive after conducting the operation. It was never reported that a Fidayeen opened fire on a public place. A recent Fidayee attack was carried out by Lashkar-e-Toiba in [[Srinagar]] shows that the Fidayee was firing gun shots on security personals while civilians were lying under his legs but he killed none and was himself killed after one hour. (See Aaj Tak TV and Zee TV videos of attack on Congress public meeting)

Nathan, however, realizes that Linderman needs him to win the congressional seat he is running for if Linderman was willing to set up such elaborate entrapment and uses this to his advantage. Working out a deal through Linderman's associate, he persuades her to "donate" $4 million to his campaign (rather than the originally agreed-upon $2 million) and suppress the tape. Linderman has also purchased a painting made by [[Isaac Mendez]], which Nathan inquired about for his brother Peter. Linderman sent it "straight to the gallery" according to Nathan's wishes.

The doctor's corpse was charred black and heavily irradiated. Sprague's fingerprint was left imprinted on the bones, leading Matt Parkman and Audrey Hanson to discover his identity. When they investigate his home, they find it heavily burned and similarly irradiated. When Matt and Audrey come to arrest him in the hospital, Sprague threatens a nurse in order to stay with his wife and says that he might explode if he were to be shot. Matt convinces him to surrender by telepathically relaying his dying wife's forgiveness for causing her cancer. When Sprague is interrogated at the FBI's Los Angeles office by Matt and Audrey, he becomes so agitated that he boils a glass of water he is holding in his hands. During the interrogation, he reveals that, like Matt, he blacked out for two days just after seeing the Haitian, and when he awoke, he had two mysterious marks on his neck.

He found a means of tracking and locating potential powered people. He was also connected with [[Sylar]], whom he referred to as "[[Index case (medicine)|Patient Zero]]". On a taped telephone conversation, however, he wanted nothing to do with Sylar and insisted the strange man stop calling him. Before his death, Chandra kept a male lizard, named Mohinder. In a dream, Mohinder saw his father's murder in a vision at the hands of a man wearing a broken wristwatch, stopped at 11:53. This watch is currently worn by Sylar.
