DEXTER MORGAN.

 .

 .

biography.

       PORTRAYAL NOTE:   my dexter is based strictly on season one and with influences from some of the novels. my dexter is asexual, aromantic, and his relationship with rita is strictly “romantic” (faked on dexter’s half) and not sexual. dexter does care for rita in a platonic sense, but he does not have actual romantic feelings for her. my dexter and rita does not have a child together. i will by default write dexter in timelines before “the bay harbor butcher” becomes known to the media, but i am willing to write dexter in timelines around the season two fbi investigation arc as well, but he will not be cheating on rita with lila in this timeline as again, my dexter is asexual and aromantic and really won’t have a desire to be with another woman.          

dexter’s father ended up in jail when he was a child, and his mother was killed, chopped up with a chainsaw in front of him and his brother (brian moser)’s eyes when dexter was only three years old, which traumatized him. dexter and his brother was found three days later by a cop named harry morgan, and harry ended up adopting dexter while brian was taken to an orphanage. dexter repressed any memories of his former family and dexter’s foster family became like a real family to him. however, at a young age, dexter started displaying concerning signs as harry found a grave in their backyard with animal bones, including the bones of their neighbor’s missing dog.

harry tried to mentor dexter and teach him how to control his “urges” and eventually taught dexter that he would eventually end up moving onto something bigger, like a human. he taught dexter that in order to not end up in jail, he would have to follow a strict code and only kill people who were killers that the police failed to catch, as well as a lot of other rules that taught dexter how to evade getting caught by other cops like harry. harry eventually died of cancer, and dexter grew up to become a blood spatter analyst, not fully following his father’s footsteps like his adoptive sister, debra, but still working alongside law enforcement, which gave him further opportunity to keep a low profile as well as access to ways to find his targets.
