The Haitian was dying from the Shanti virus in Port au Prince, Haiti. Help was on the way though as Mohinder had been sent to locate and cure him. Making a full recovery, he soon found himself back in the service of H.R.G and on a journey to Odessa, Ukraine to meet an old friend.
Back working for Angela, The Haitian captured Hiro and Ando on her behalf. When Peter and Nathan followed him to Haiti, they joined forces to fight his murderous warlord brother Baron Samedi, who was impervious to injury. After helping Nathan escape Samedi's clutches, he removed his brother's powers and killed him with his bare hands. He then accompanied Peter on his mission to assassinate Arthur, and even offered to do the dirty deed for him. He held off Arthur's powers long enough for Peter to fire a bullet, but Sylar stopped the bullet just before impact and murdered Arthur instead.

René has the power to manipulate people's minds. He can selectively interfere with the use of special abilities and selectively erase memories. He uses his power in conjunction with hand-to-hand combat skills to subdue other evolved humans when he defeated and restrained Peter Petrelli. He can render individuals unconscious by physical contact. His powers do require mental effort, and sufficient resistance by another evolved human of sufficient power and/or skill can cause him physical and mental strain.
While he can nullify powers out to some indeterminate range without physical contact, his other mental abilities seem to require touch.
