Dexter Morgan, portrayed by Michael C. Hall, is a fictional character primarily known from the television series Dexter, which premiered in 2006.

Dexter is a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department. He lives a double life as a vigilante serial killer, targeting murderers who have escaped the justice system.

Traumatized as a child by witnessing his mother's brutal murder, Dexter was adopted by Miami police officer Harry Morgan, who recognized Dexter's sociopathic tendencies. Harry taught Dexter a strict "code" to channel his homicidal urges. This code included only killing murderers and avoiding getting caught.

Dexter struggles to maintain his facade of normalcy while battling his inner "Dark Passenger," the manifestation of his killer instincts. Throughout the series, he grapples with developing genuine emotions and relationships while adhering to Harry's code and concealing his true nature.
