Alex Timmons

Alex Timmons is a character in Season One of the Showtime series DEXTER, as well as in Dexter Early Cuts.

He was a Marine sniper, and one of Dexter Morgan's earlier kills. When Dexter sliced his cheek, it inspired him to collect blood slides as trophies, with Alex being the first.

Alex began to murder civilians after he was discharged from the Marines. Back in the States, he targeted innocent people, killing four victims with gunshots. However, this is not shown and only mentioned on a now defunct website.

Description
Alex was a muscular, African-American male with a mustache and a bit of a beard. He had short black hair and a tattoo from the Marines on his right arm.

Personality
He had a hardened personality, and would kill innocent, defenseless beings, feeling no remorse afterward. His motivation for killing innocent people was not revealed.

In the flashback of Alex's death, he did not show the level of fear that he did in Early Cuts, when he begged for his life. This didn't work with Dexter, however.

Season One

 * "Return to Sender"

When the Ice Truck Killer retrieved Valerie Castillo, Dexter's last victim, from the sea, a police investigation was initiated. Dexter decided to eliminate any evidence that might implicate him. He threw all of his kill tools into the ocean from his boat, and was about to do the same with his blood slides. Before doing this, he looked through his blood slides, reminiscing about his victims. Alex was the first victim that Dexter remembered. Like most of Dexter's victims, Alex had been wrapped in plastic. Before his death, Alex admitted to his crimes.
