So I recently started watching old eps of Heroes again and it got me thinking about Linda Tavara. I remember reading a theory about how she could have been related to the Petrellis. Specifically, that she was Arthur's younger illegitimate half-sister. They did have similar abilities but other than that and the Petrelli men having a tendency to be hounds, the theory didn't really hold much water. After all, Linda was for the most part a flashback.

But it was enough for me to want to explore it. The first trick was not having her die in 1972. Luckily, Arthur Petrelli gained the ability to manipulate time and space. He also had a habit of rounding up super villains. I'm saying that Arthur went back to 1972 and kidnaps Linda. Unfortunately, for both of them, she breaks free just as they are teleporting to 2006. Arthur goes back to his time while Linda travels a little further landing in 2013. It makes the most sense that Angela would know about Arthur's illegitimate sister. Though maybe Nathan, Peter, or even Claire could have found something (research, a picture, the newpaper clippings from her disappearance) among Arthur's things.

Beyond all that, anyone that plays with Linda should know that she's something of a sociopath. She can and has killed without provocation. I wouldn't say that she's a total lost cause but she does have her own agenda. Not to mention a very strong sense of self preservation.
