Character History

Nothing to Hide

Matt y Audrey están invesigando una serie de asesinatos cometidos por alguien que se hace llamar Sylar y durante esa investigación encuentran el cuerpo de Robert Fresco, oncologo de UCLA. En un principio creen que era también una victima de Sylar pero se dan cuenta que no coincide con su manera de actuar por lo que descartan esta opción. El cuerpo de el Sr. Fresco aparecio quemado en su consulta y emitiendo 1800 curios de radiacion. Encontraron una huella dactilar en uno hueso de su brazo, esta huella esta grabada en el hueso y gracias a esta huella y usando el sistama CODIS del FBI relacionan a Ted con el asesinato.

Matt y Audrey investigan la casa de Ted y la encuentran grabemente dañada por la radiación: fotogracias que tenian las caras chamuscados,el teclado del ordenador quemado, tiradores de puertas chamuscados, e incluso daños estructurales en una habitación.

Matt encuentran un documento médico emitido por el Doctor Fresco para que Karen Sprague, la mujer de Ted, comience sus sesiones de quimioterapia pues padece cancer. Matt y Audrey parten hacia el hospital donde se encuentra ingresada Karen. Al llegar encuentran a Ted junto a la cama de su esposa. Ante esta situación Ted admite que fue él quien mato al Doc. Fresco, pero dice que fue un accidente mientras el le daba el diagnostico de su esposa. Ted se pone algo agresivo cuando ellos intentan detenerle. He grabs a nurse and holds her hostage, and tells them that he doesn't know what will happen if they shoot him ... he might even explode. Matt uses his telepathic abilities to calm Ted by relaying messages from a comatose Karen. Ted releases the nurse, whose arm is covered in radiation burns. After a last reminiscence, Karen dies, and Ted agrees to go peaceably with Audrey for questioning.

Later, as he is being processed by the police, two small marks are apparent on his neck. They are identical to marks Matt discovers on his own neck.

Seven Minutes to Midnight

Ted está sentado solo en una cuarto de interrogación cuando Matt Parkman y Audrey Hanson entran. Audrey le da a Theodore un vaso de agua. Theodore se queja de que no lo dejarán asistar al funeral de su esposa. Audrey le dice que necesita respoder otras preguntas. Ella le pregunta a Ted como es capaz de hacer lo que hace. Ted exclama que nada importa desde que ha matado a su esposa. Matt mira su 'placa de radición' y ve que se torna roja. Ted grita que él solo quiere estar solo y que no saba nada sobre ningún material nuclear. Matt le dice que se relaje, pero Ted solo se enoja mas. Les dice 'lleno de frustación' que si ellos quieren que él sea el chico malo entonces volará el lugar en el que se encuentran. Agarra el vaso de agua y enseguida empieza a hervir. Audrey lo amenaza con dispararle y Ted le dice que simplemente hazlo. Matt intenta calmar a Ted mostrándolo que él no es el único con poderes anormales. Le dice a Ted que ellos solo están intentando de entender que es lo que está pasando y calmarse. Matt tranquiliza a Ted y le dice que lo llevará a donde todo comenzó.

Matt escucha los pensamiento de Ted think de que el fue "limpiado mentalmente" y que cuando despertó fue cuando empezó a morir. Recordando su propia experiencia, Matt le pregunta que tanto le borraron la mente y le pregunta si estaba bebiend o no. Le pregunta si cuando despertó tenía magulladuras en sus brazos. Ted les muestra la marca en su cuello y Matt le muestra la misma marca en su cuello. Ted le explica que estaba en Kansas hace unos meses vendiendo una máquina de diálisis al hospital de la universidad. El fué al bar del hotel en donde vió a una pareja de Wyoming, a unos profesores, y un estudiante de Haití. La siguiente cosa que recuerda es que despertó en su auto en Arizona dos días después de su secuestro con marcas y magulladuras. Matt le pregunta si siente enfermo o con dolores de cabeza y Ted admite que tiene dolores de cabeza. Audrey le pregunta a Ted que ellos necesitan saber si hay mas cadáveres, y Matt lo defiende diciéndo a Audrey que no es su culpa. Matt le dice a Ted que también el fue "borrado" y que estuvo desaparecido por dos días, y que ahora no puede parar de escuchar los pensamientos de la gente. Matt da una descripción de El Haitiano que Tedd vio en el the bar, y ambos confirman que es el mismo hombre que vieron antes de desmayarse. El Agente Elisa Thayer entra y varios agentes se llevan a Ted. Cuando se lo están llevando, Ted le dice a Matt que encuentre a El Haitiano. Mas tarde Ted se escapa, enciendo un automóvil en el proceso.

Powers

Ted had the ability to emit radiation. He seemed to have some control over the intensity, but judging from the damage to his home and his accidental killing of Dr. Fresco, his ability to control his power was severely limited, possibly more so when he was emotionally agitated.

After his arrest, Ted boiled water at FBI Headquarters, a scene depicted in one of Isaac's paintings. (Seven Minutes to Midnight)
Ted could also release an EMP wave, thanks to guidance from Mr. Bennet. (.07%)
Ted put out 1,800 curies (Ci) of radiation without even coming in contact with radiative material. (One Giant Leap)
Ted claimed that he could emit 10,000 curies of radiation, but this is unconfirmed. (Graphic Novel:How Do You Stop an Exploding Man?, Part 2)
According to Mr. Bennet, Ted's power is capable of destroying every living thing within a twenty mile radius. (Graphic Novel:Family Man)
Ted could use his powers to start a car. (The Hard Part)

"Sino estás de regreso en una hora, solo mira la nube atómica."

Notes

Ted is based heavily on the engineer, a terrorist character from the 72 minute version of the original pilot. Both men have the same powers, and both men have wives they love very much who die of cancer, probably related to their own radiation powers.
Ted's name, appearance, and explosive nature are all references to Theodore Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber.
Ted tiene una marca inusual en su hombre la cual es idéntica a la de Matt Parkman y Hana.
