[edit] Character History
For the first three seasons, Timmy Kirk was a background character. He was arrested for putting his baby in a rat infested dumpster. Kirk was a Catholic when he came to Oz and was an altar boy for Father Ray Mukada. He revealed to Vernon Schillinger that it was Tobias Beecher that arranged for Schillinger to meet with his son Hank. While Father Mukada was away, Kirk began talking to the Reverend Jeremiah Cloutier who convinced Kirk to renounce his Catholic faith and join his flock. However, Kirk gets overzealous and attacks those inmates who don't share his belief. Reverend Cloutier does not condone this type of behavior and casts Kirk out of his congregation. Kirk vows revenge on Cloutier and with the help of Jaz Hoyt and others, trap Cloutier inside the wall of the cafeteria. There is a gas explosion but miraculously the reverend survives but he is badly burned. Kirk still wants to kill him, though. First, he asks Jim Burns to do the deed but Burns refuses because Cloutier was the one who helped him find Jesus. Burns gets a vision from Cloutier telling him to kill Jaz Hoyt but instead Hoyt ends up killing him. Later, Hoyt gets a vision from Cloutier telling him to kill Kirk. Hoyt was unsuccessful in his first attempt to kill Kirk, though he injured him severely. While in the hospital, Kirk tells Father Mukada that he'd like to rejoin the Catholic Church but Mukada, who knows Kirk was involved in Reverend Cloutier's accident, says no. Kirk gets revenge by offering to perform oral sex on Clarence Seroy if Seroy will use his connections on the outside to burn down a church where Father Mukada was with two other priests. Mukada was severely burned but eventually returned to Oz and hates Kirk with a passion by this point. Kirk was sent to death row and requested a visit with Mukada in which he asks him for an excorcism which Mukada refuses. Kirk later writes a letter to the Bishop that Mukada sexually abused him and even though nobody believes Kirk, Mukada is nevertheless stripped of the priesthood until the investigation is over. Meanwhile, Jaz Hoyt who is also on death row has still been plotting to kill Kirk, which he finally does. After Kirk's death, Mukada says his prayers were answered as he had been praying for Kirk to die. Later Kirk's mother meets with Mukada and comes to work in Oz as a nurse. She promises not to seek revenge on Jaz Hoyt but is still very cold with him. Mrs. Kirk and Father Mukada have are very close at first and Father Mukada thinks she may be getting a little too close and reminds her of his vow of chastity. Mrs. Kirk is very offended that he would think she was trying to seduce him and tells him her son was right about him.
