Two of the show's more mysterious characters are Naveen Andrews' Jonas and Terence Mann's creepy Whispers. A sensate from an older cluster, Jonas showed his face every so often across the first season to help the gang, particularly Will, adjust to their newfound powers.

But what happened to Jonas' cluster? Apparently, they were hunted down by Whispers and his Biologic Preservation Organization, who are doing some pretty shady research on the sensates' power, and it seems Jonas is the only one of the eight left alive. Season two will dig deeper into what exactly happened here, developing Jonas as a character as we find out how he came to help out the sensates.

We may even – though no promises here – come to find out whether we can ever really trust him. There were hints planted, not least through the views of an old sensate who Riley found hiding out in Iceland, that Jonas may in fact be an agent working for Whispers; indeed, his true motivations are still ambiguous.
