Harry Morgan
Played by: James RemarBio
Viewers never meet Harry Morgan when he's alive.
This is Dexter's foster father, who adopted the boy after his mother was murdered as part of a failed drug bust. Harry is often seen in Dexter's flashbacks, as we learn the lessons that he tried to impart on his son in order to assist him with his rage and murderous tendencies.
We also learn that Harry was actually having an affair with Dexter's mother - a criminal informant - at the time of her slaying. He killed himself once he saw just how far over the edge Dexter really was when it came to ritual killings.

Quotes
Harry: What's your plan here? Nurse her back to health so she can go to the police? If she gives the cops enough to track you down then everything falls apart. Harrison grows up visiting you on death row.
Dexter : Don't be sorry your darkness is gone. I'll carry if for you - always. I'll keep it with mine,

One more thing: he did NOT kill himself
dexter believes that when his dad saw what a monster he had become, it KILLED him, but figurately, he died of grief.
I'm not exactly sure WHAT killed his father, i think it was cancer or something like that.
dexter actually SAVES his father from a crazy nurse, and buys the old man another year (he was dying because of the nurse), but died a year (maybe 2) later of another illnes
so he did not commit suicide by any means
greetings from belgium :p ;)

This is NOT true
Sometimes the show does a time travel and you get to meet dexter when he was young, or just started killing.
At that time, his father was VERY much alive :)
