Brian Moser is sent to a mental hospital after Laura Moser's death

Brian was institutionalized for antisocial personality disorder after Laura's death

Brian and Dexter's stories end after their mother, Laura, is murdered. Hector Estrada killed Laura for working with Harry and the police, and locked Brian and Dexter in a container in a pool of her blood for days. When Harry found the boys, he personally adopted Dexter as his son, but Brian was sent to a mental hospital.. In Dexter In the first season, Angel Batista explained that Brian had been admitted for antisocial personality disorder to a psychiatric hospital in Tampa, and was held there until he turned 21.

Dexter I never delved much into Brian's experiences in the mental hospital, so not much is known about his life. There are, however, some insights into Brian's childhood that help fill in some of the gaps. Brian finally told Dexter that he lived with the memory of family all those years and that he never forgot how he was separated from Dexter.. Laura also told him to always look out for his little brother, which helps explain why he reinserted himself into Dexter's life as an adult.

Why Harry doesn't adopt Brian with Dexter

Harry decided that Brian had no hope of leading a normal life due to his age when Laura was murdered

One of the most confusing parts of Brian Moser's childhood also has to do with Dexter. After Harry found the brothers, he adopted Dexter, but let Brian be taken to a mental hospital and grow up without a family.. Brian himself told Dexter why Harry didn't adopt him: he was already broken when Harry found him.

“You were three years old, a little bird with a broken wing. [Harry] I wanted to make you better. But I, I could see it in your eyes. All they saw was a fucked up boy. They all did that, then they locked me up.”

Brian also noted that Dexter was old enough to block Laura's murder from his memory, but because he was older at the time, he was never able to forget the trauma of being locked in a shipping container. Harry clearly understood that Brian would never be able to get over his mother's murder, but he thought Dexter was young enough to be able to recover.. So Dexter got a new life and Brian got a padded cell.

In addition to Brian's explanation, there may be another reason why Harry only adopted Dexter. As Dexter: Original Sin episode 1 revealed, Harry and Doris Morgan had a biological child before adopting Dexter. Junior drowned in a pool while Harry watched, at about the same age Dexter was when Laura died, so there's a good chance Harry adopted Dexter to “replace” Junior.. Brian was too old to serve as a replacement for his deceased son and didn't need to adopt two boys to fill the gap left by Junior, so he let the state take care of Brian.

Most of his victims were drained of blood, frozen and dissected for exposure, and he was one of the best serial killers in the world. Dexter. Like the Ice Truck Killer, Brian also began leaving hidden messages for Dexter so he could connect with his brother as a fellow serial killer.

This wasn't the only way Brian tried to connect with Dexter. He also used the alias Rudy Cooper to begin a false romantic relationship with Debra Morgan, which allowed him to meet Dexter socially.. Rudy and Deb's relationship became so serious that he went on a trip to meet Dexter's biological father, Joe Driscoll, and even proposed to Debra before trying to kill her.

Dexter has to kill his brother Brian Moser in the Dexter season 1 finale

Dexter had to kill Brian to protect Debra and himself

Brian's attempts to get Dexter to join him as a brother again had one major failure: he wanted Debra out of the picture. After Brian finally revealed himself as the Ice Truck Killer, he wanted Dexter to kill Debra and end her “fake” stepfamily.. Brian thought that killing Deb was the only way for Dexter to move forward with Harry's legacy and live as a truly free serial killer, but Dexter had other ideas. Dexter loved Deb too much to kill her, so he attacked Brian and freed her.

Despite rejecting his offer, Dexter knew that Brian would never leave him and Debra alone. So, to keep Deb safe, Dexter ended up killing Brian himself and staging his death as a suicide at the end of Dexter season 1. Dexter wanted to team up with Brian and found the idea of ​​being accepted as a serial killer very appealing, but he simply loved Deb more. Brian's death was not the end of him, as he appeared in some flashbacks and as the manifestation of Dexter's dark passenger in some later episodes of Dexter.

Although there isn't much room for Brian to appear Dexter: Original Sinthere is a chance he could be on the show. Brian was released from the mental hospital when he was 21, meaning he could have tracked and found Dexter when he was starting his career with Miami Metro. Brian may also have returned to interact with Harry in some way, as he likely sees Harry as the reason he was separated from Dexter. If Brian Moser has anything to do in the future of Dexter: Original SinIt's almost certainly not a good thing.
