So he's the good guy of the story. Based on the book series by Jeff Lindsey. Very strange, but well-written. Urban Dictionary

A sweet, caring, out going guy that is a good friend. Dexters are good boyfriends. Probably the best anyone could ever have. They are always there to give you the best hugs and the best laughs. Everything about them is perfect. The gap between their teeth when they smile makes them unique. They are adorable little things and love music. Dexters will do the sweetest things for the girl he loves. He will cook for her, teach her how to play football and workout with her. And he will never miss an opportunity to tell her how much she means to him and how much he loves her because he honestly does with all his heart. Dexters may be very loving, but they are also shy and afraid of change. When times get tough, a Dexter will abandon you because they are confused and sometimes they don't think straight. Dexters will leave you with the worst heartbreak. But as much as it hurts, they are worth every bit of pain afterwards. If you are lucky enough to be with a Dexter, cherish him and love him, regardless of how much you know it would hurt in the end because he deserves so much love. Unlimited, unconditional love.
