An [[Active]] is [[imprint |imprinted]] with a personality package and sent out on [[engagement |engagements]], usually lasting for up to three days. However, the episode "[[Man on the Street]]" introduced the concept of a sleeper active who lives with a single imprint for months or more with a dormant skill set or personality. A voice command or script can be used to activate and deactivate the dormant imprint. Since the [[Dollhouse]] does not have the ability to [[wipe]] its Actives remotely, the deactivation is simply that - the imprint remains in the Active's brain, but becomes dormant again.

An [[Active]] is [[imprint | imprinted]] with a personality package and sent out on [[engagement | engagements]], usually lasting under ten hours, but sometimes lasting for up to three days. However, "[[Man on the Street]]" introduced the concept of a sleeper active who lives with a dormant skill set or personality. The Doll's personality may or may not be an [[imprint]], but there is an imprint "sleeping" inside his or her brain awaiting activation. A voice command or script activates and deactivates the dormant imprint. Since the [[Dollhouse]] does not have the ability to [[wipe]] its Actives remotely, it is likely that the deactivation is simply that - the imprint remains in the Active's brain, but becomes dormant again.

[[November]]'s dormant imprint was activated when [[Adelle DeWitt]] said "There are three flowers in a vase, the third flower is green", apparently an activation code, onto a voice message while [[Mellie]] was being attacked by [[Joe Hearn]], causing November to fight and kill Hearn. Adelle then deactivated the dormant imprint by saying "There are three flowers in a vase, the third flower is yellow", causing November to revert to the Mellie imprint.
 
 
An Active in this assassin mode is programmed to efficiently kill everyone he or she lays their eyes on, as seen with November and [[Daniel Perrin]]. [[Claire Saunders]] was later given a more specific Sleeper program which caused her to assassinate [[Bennett Halverson]] for being a threat to [[Boyd Langton]]'s plans, and then return to the Rossum headquarters in Arizona.
