Dexter Morgan Tonights the night... Short brown hair, tall, Average-well built, brown eyes, Caucasian, PERSONALITY Quiet, Keeps to self, Fakes emotions in order to hide his "Dark Passanger." HISTORY Since childhood, Dexter has felt homicidal urges directed by an inner voice he calls "the Dark Passenger"; when that voice cannot be ignored, he "lets the Dark Passenger do the driving". He abides by a moral code taught to him by his foster father, Harry Morgan, in which he only allows himself to kill people who are themselves murderers. Dexter considers himself emotionally divorced from the rest of humanity; in his narration, he refers to "humans" as if he is not one himself. He makes frequent references to an internal feeling of emptiness and says he kills to feel alive. He claims to have no feelings or conscience, and that all of his emotional responses are part of a well-rehearsed act to conceal his true nature. He has no interest in romance or sex; he considers his relationship with his girlfriend (and eventual wife) Rita Bennett to be part of his "disguise". Paradoxically, Dexter likes children, finding them to be much more interesting than their parents. This affinity causes Dexter to be particularly wrathful when his victims prey on children. His connection to Rita's children, Astor and Cody, sometimes supersedes his relationship with Rita. For example, in the novels, Dexter continues his relationship with Rita because he realizes that Rita's children are exhibiting the same signs of sociopathy he did at their age, and tries to control it by providing them with "guidance" (similar to that which Harry provided him). On the show, Dexter deviates from his code of only killing murderers in order to dispose of a pedophile who is stalking Astor. Animals don't like Dexter, which can cause noise problems when he stalks a victim who has pets. The novels reveal that he once owned a dog that barked and growled at him until he was forced to get rid of it and a turtle that hid from him in its shell until it died of starvation. Dexter occasionally behaves in a way that suggests that he does feel some rudimentary human connection. He acknowledges loyalty to family, particularly to his late adoptive father, saying, "If I were capable of love, how I would have loved Harry." Since Harry's death, Dexter's only family is his sister Debra—Harry and Doris' biological daughter. Dexter admits that he cannot hurt Debra or allow anyone else to harm her because he is "fond of her." In the first episode of Season 1 he said that "I don't have feelings about anything, but if I could have feelings at all, I'd have them for Deb." Dexter's human connections evolve even deeper in the television program; in the final episode of the TV show's second season, he finally admits that he needs the people in his life.[1] In Season 3, he fights to live because he wants to see his unborn child. In the fourth season, before killing a female police officer who has murdered her own husband and young daughter, Dexter is nearly overwhelmed with the realization that he does not want to lose his new family. He is also horrified when he witnesses one of his potential victims abusing his family while using them as a "human shield"; Dexter vehemently insists he is nothing like that. In Season 5, after Rita is murdered, Dexter realizes that he genuinely loved her, and is devastated at losing her.
