Biography[]
Isaac's past is largely unrevealed. While he was a young student, an instructor named Dominick Cabalo saw a talent in Isaac and encouraged him to pursue art and take summer classes to increase his artistic skill. However, Isaac became a drug addict, which put a strain on his relationships and caused much damage to his life and his relationship with his girlfriend and art dealer Simone Deveaux. Isaac also became increasingly concerned that the things he painted seemed to be visions of the future, albeit in vague, ambiguous ways. He eventually almost ODs over the stress of the paintings coming true only to be saved by Nurse Peter Petrelli, who, unbeknownst to him, also had powers.
