Carlos Guerrero

Carlos Guerrero is a character in DEXTER introduced during Season 1 and originally appears to be a minor antagonist to Sergeant James Doakes. Dexter Morgan originally investigates Guerrero but decides that his world is not one that he needs to participate in (he'd rather just stick to other killers).

Guerrero is a tall, skinny man with short black hair and pronounced cheekbones. He appears to be of Cuban descent, having dark-toned skin. There is slight facial hair above his lip and around his chin. His outfit consists of a long sleeved designer shirts (that are large at the base) and pants, with fancy dress shoes.

Personality
Carlos Guerrero is a man that prides himself with diplomatic immunity. Unless something can actually be traced to him, he's calm as can be when one of his henchmen is arrested...but to keep them from talking, he's quick to have another assassin kill them. This shows that he's exactly what a drug kingpin on top of the world would be like...he's arrogant, thinks he's above the law and capture, and cares nothing for his subordinates. However, like some drug lords, he does place his loyalty in family and especially his daughter who he cares for severely.

He's a man of respect and takes it as an insult for people to humiliate him in public or to beat down one of his lieutenants. He will react by having anyone that's a problem eliminated, but typically keeps his own hands clean. However when they kidnap Doakes after an assault staged by Detective McNamara, he is ready to throw in a punch or two before they intend to execute him.

Biography
Guerrero kills Officer Ricky Simmons and Simmons' wife Kara when Simmons was working undercover in his organization. Dexter at one point thinks about killing him but decides Guerrero he did not fit the code, and he had just chosen to live in a dangerous world. Sergeant Doakes becomes Guerrero's main target, after accusing him of murder in front of his church and daughter Rose. In an act of retaliation, Guerrero has men tail Doakes in several attempts to scare him off. Guerrero eventually kidnaps Doakes and is ready to execute him when Guerrero is shot by several officers, including Kara's brother Detective McNamara. It becomes clear that Doakes' colleagues had used him as bait to get to Guerrero—thus getting the evidence they needed to finally having the drug lord convicted.

Carlos Guerrero is sent to a federal prison. It is assumed he is still staying there, as he is still a drug lord and most likely has connections, thus allowing him to get better treatment there. Though if irony sets in, one of his competitors may have hired a hit man to kill him in prison much like he did for Norberto Cervantes. But there's no confirmation on his status otherwise, so he's likely to be alive and well.
