Harry Morgan, the code of Harry
The story begins with a flashback to a horrific event. As a police officer, Harry Morgan discovered the two young sons of his murdered informant, Laura Moser, sitting in a pool of their mother's blood inside a shipping container. Overwhelmed by the scene, Harry made the fateful choice to adopt the younger son, 3-year-old Dexter, believing him too young to remember the trauma. He left the older son, Brian, to the system. Harry raised Dexter as his own, but soon discovered the boy's burgeoning psychopathy. To protect Dexter and society, he established 'The Code of Harry,' a moral framework that allows Dexter to kill, but only other killers.
