Who is Harry Morgan in Dexter?

The father who wrote the Code · The Morgans

Harry Morgan (The father who wrote the Code) is a character in Dexter, part of The Morgans. Harry Morgan is years dead, but he's never left. The decorated Miami cop who adopted Dexter recognised what was growing in the boy and made a terrible wager: if the urge couldn't be cured, it could be aimed. His Code — kill only killers, never get caught — is Dexter's operating system, and Harry himself persists as a memory and imagined voice at Dexter's shoulder: part conscience, part accomplice, part unresolved question about whether the Code saved his son or built him.
