Bay Harbor Butcher, Dark Defender (no one knows Dexter as either of these names although they refer to his acts)
Age: 35

Portrayed By: Michael C. Hall
Personality
Basic Personality:Dexter is emotionally detached from the rest of mankind. He does not connect with them, or feel empathy towards them. He often has an internal feeling of emptiness, killing just to feel something. He has no interest in romance or sex but is involved in a relationship to keep up his cover and appear normal.
While Dexter claims not to have any emotions he has loyalty. He has shown loyalty to his family. He also feels fond of his sister, and Rita and does things in order to avoid hurting them (showing some sense of caring for them with his desire not to hurt them). He also likes kids and has stated that he would never hurt a child, despising those who prey on children more than some of his other victims.
Accent: American
Occupation: Forensics blood spatter analyst for Miami PD
(second job as serial killer)
History
Birthplace:Miami, Florida
Family: Deborah Morgan (foster sister), Harry Morgan (foster father-deceased), Doris Morgan (foster mother, deceased), Laura Moser (biological mother-deceased), Joe Driscoll (biological father-deceased), Brian Moser (biological brother)
History: Dexter was discovered by his adoptive father Harry (a police officer) when he was only 3 years old in an abandoned storage container sitting in a pool of blood where he had been for two days after witnessing his mother being brutally murdered (an event that Dexter had blocked from his mind for most of his life). Harry brought the young boy home and raised him as his own, eventually adopting the boy.
Harry always told Dexter that he was different than most people because of something bad that got to him at a young age and changed him giving him dark desires. Dexter began killing neighborhood pets at a young age. When Harry discovered these he realized that Dexter's violent nature and urges could lead him down a dangerous path. Harry began training his son, trying to steer him towards a more "positive path".
Under Harry's direction Dexter learned how to fight, subdue a victim and kill them. But he also gave Dexter a set of ethical values to follow, what Dexter refers to as the "Code of Harry" in which Dexter is only to kill people who deserve it, who are killers themselves. Those people who have escapted the justice system, who have slipped through the cracks. Being a cop, Harry was also able to teach Dexter how to avoid getting caught and cover his tracks. In addition to teaching Dexter skills to kill and keep out of prison, Harry also taught his son how to fit in with society. He taught him how to fake normal emotions that would be expected of him.
Dexter killed his first human when he was 19. His victim was his father's nurse who was slowly killing him by overmedicating him. Dexter has a precise ritual he follows for his kills starting with preparing the room in plastic wrap or plastic sheets (to keep blood from getting on anything in the room), he then knocks out his victim either by using a choke hold or injecting them with an anesthetic. While they are unconcious he secures them naked to a table, holding them down with more plastic wrap. When they wake up he shows them pictures or evidence of their crimes and victims before taking a sample of blood from their cheek (for his slide collection). He then kills them by knife (or electric saw to the neck). He disposes of the bodies by dismembering them and placing sections into black garbage bags which he dumps into the ocean.
Dexter attended college (where he took classes in advanced jujitsu) and went on to medical school where he was at the top of his class. He gave up a medical career to become a forensic scientist and specialized in blood spatter analysis, eventually coming to work in the forensics department for the Miami police department, where his father worked and his sister Deborah currently works as an officer. He is currently also trying to maintain the look of a normal life by dating his current girlfriend Rita Bennet.
