Nolan Kinnard

Nolan Kinnard (played by Vincent Ventresca) was a wealthy doctor specializing in drugs used to treat mental illnesses and a Dollhouse executive. He had an obsession over a female artist, Priya Tsetsang.

Biography

Kinnard continually commissioned her work, mainly in an effort to seduce her. He even hired the Dollhouse to supply him with Actives to assist in his effort, but they all failed. He even tried to rape her.

He then dosed her with mind-altering drugs, making her look crazy, and had her locked in a mental institution where he could continually "treat" her.

Kinnard arranged for her to become a Dollhouse Active. Dollhouse employee Topher Brink visited her, intending to use the Dollhouse to treat her condition; Tsetsang gladly went with him. She was transformed into the Active Sierra.

Kinnard repeatedly purchased Sierra's services, even insisting she not be "whored out" to anyone else.

In "Needs" Sierra escaped from the Dollhouse with Victor and confronted Nolan. He was unapologetic, having summoned security agents to stop the Actives.

In "Belonging" Brink discovered that Tsetsang hadn't been crazy after all. Adelle DeWitt told Kinnard she wouldn't let him have his way with Sierra, but he threatened her job. Her superiors forced her to comply with his demand—"keeping" Sierra as a permanent love slave. DeWitt ordered Brink to imprint her, but he restored her to her original self. At Kinnard's residence, she revealed how she hated him and was in love with a man she couldn't even remember. The two fought, and eventually Tsetsang prevailed, stabbing Kinnard to death.

Brink and Boyd Langton hid the corpse, making it look like he had traveled outside the country, leaving Sierra behind.
