| abstract | - A Lawful Killer is a person granted permission to kill another human being depending on the circumstances. However, they can not kill without proper purpose or otherwise they can be seen as a Murderer. Examples of lawful killers are members of law enforcement, executioners for the state and military personnel during wartime. The common trait among lawful killers is that never appreciate the fact that they've had to end another human's life. Some are able to continue on with their lives blocking out the fact while others are haunted every night due to their decision to end another life. Because of this, guilt and sometimes alcoholism is a factor in their daily lives as they attempt to cope with their actions. So far, only one person has ever been an antagonist for Dexter Morgan that qualifies as a lawful killer: Sergeant James Doakes. While Frank Lundy can be considered an antagonist there is no concrete proof that he have ever killed another human being. It may be possible however, that Stan Liddy has ended a life in his past and was an Attempted Murderer against Dexter Morgan in Season Five. No proof exists to this fact.
