He is the is the first main antagonist of the show, and (other than Dexter himself) the first serial killer. He is portrayed by the actor Christian Camargo.

Personality and Appearance
Moser is often described by people who have seen him, such as Tony Tucci, as "average", in height, build and hair length. His hair is black and curly, he is handsome, with a indistinct face. He is stronger than he looks, and can easily overpower his victims. He is one of the few people, along with James Doakes, that expertly fights Dexter, suggesting that he may have had material arts training in his past.

Whilst under the persona of Rudy Cooper, he is a kind and likeable man. He is romantic and loving to Debra, enough so that he manages to get her to say yes to his proposal after a matter of months of them knowing each other. When he revels himself to Dexter, it is obvious he is desperate for is love, he says he will love him unconditionally, and that he "never had to apologize to him for who he is".

Season One
He is first introduced under the alias Rudy Cooper, the doctor developing prosthetic limbs for Tucci after he's been rescued by Dexter. He flirts with Debra and ends up asking her out on a date. He appears to be a minor, trivial character. It is only at the very end of Shrink Wrap that it is revled to the audience that he is in fact The Ice Truck Killer. He is very friendly to Dexter, and helps him when his biological father, Joe Driscoll, dies. However, it is later revealed that it was in fact Rudy who murdered Driscoll.

One evening in a nightclub, Detective Angel Batista see's a women with a prosthetic arm with the a nail painting style as the ones left by the Ice Truck Killer. When she tells Batista a man painted them for because he found it sexually arousing. Batista asks Rudy about Acrotomophilia because of his knowledge of prosthetic, alerting the serial killer he isn't as safe as he thought. Worried that he is getting too far in, Rudy stabs Batista in a Parking Lots, but not before he is headbutted in the lip by him.

As the series nears it's end, Rudy and Debra's relationship gets very serious. At the end of Truth be Told, Rudy invites Debra to his boat and proposes to her, and offer which she accepts. Meanwhile, Dexter realises the correlation between Rudy's cut lip and the Blood on Batista's collar and realises that he must have stabbed her. He tries to contact his sister, but fails, and the episode ends with an unconscious Debra tied up in Rudy's boat.

The final episode see's Dexter in pursuit of Rudy. With the help of Batista, Homicide find out Rudy's real name in Brian Moser. Brian's clues lead Dexter to the shipping yard container that his mother was murdered, however he is apprehended by Doakes. After visiting the house he was born in, Dexter finally realises that Brian is his biological brother and they were both survivors of the Shipping Yard Massacre in 1973. Brian drugs Dexter and tries to convince him to murder Debra. Dexter refuses, and Brian attempts to do the deed himself, but the two brother end in a fight. As Brian gains the upper hand, the police arrive and Brian flee's. Later the night, he breaks into Dexter apartment and stabs Debra, however she turns out to be one of Brian prosthetic bodies, and Dexter subdues him.

Brian wakes up, and finds himself tied to a table in his own apartment. He tries to convince Dexter that he is his only family and they need each other, but Dexter tells him that he cannot let him live as Brian will always need to kill Debra. Brian persists, but Dexter quickly slits his throat, stating he can't here any more. Brian is the first of Dexter's victims that he doesn't take a blood slide from, as Brian isn't a trophy, he simply needs to be put down.

Season Two
After killing Brian, Dexter hasn't killed in three months. At the start of the episode, he attempts to murder a blind man who has killed two of his customers. However, he cannot bring himself to do it, and lets him go. Brian appears as a ghost in It's Alive! and Waiting to Exhale, and tells Dexter that he never should have killed his only brother, and he'll never be right again. At the end of the second episode, he drops Brian's Barbie Doll Head into the ocean, thus 'letting go' of his brother.

Season Six
Despite being dead, The Ice Truck Killer plays an important role in this season in numerous ways. At the start of the season, Vince Masuka gets a new intern, Ryan Chambers. She flirts with Vince, and later revels that she followed the Ice Truck Killer case closely. Vince shows her Brian Prosthetic Arm from evidence, and she shows clear fascination in the arm. It later becomes clear that she was interested in the arm for initially different reason when Vince see's it online for sale. Despite his feelings for her, he fires Chambers, and hires a new intern: the mysterious Louis Greene. It constantly hinted throughout season six that he knows who Dexter really is and that he is something of a fanatic of the serial killer. Vince later asks him to take down the arm from the internet, which Greene does, showing advanced skill in the computer hacking. Greene starts dating Jamie, Batista's little sister, and it is reviled to the audience alone that he still has Brian's Prosthetic Arm.

Meanwhile, Dexter is looking into the murder of his new 'friend' Father Sam, and finds out that a mechanic named Nick shot him. When he confronts the mechanic, Nick laughs at the fact that Dexter has no evidence of his crime. Dexter loses his temper and drowns Nick in the sea. When he get back to the shore, he see's Brian there clapping and smiling at his brother. The next episode, Nebraska, shows Dexter and Brian hunting down Trinity's son, Jonah Mitchell, who Dexter believes has murdered his mother and sister. He confronts Jonah, but he reveals that his sister killed herself after constant torment from their mother, and that Jonah killed her because of this. Brian insists that they kill Jonah anyway as he knows too much, but Dexter leaves Nebraska and 'Lets go' of Brian once again.

A short while afterwards, Louis Greene shows Dexter a video game he created where you play as a serial killer, in an effort to relate to his idol. He is shot down however when Dexter dismisses his game as offensive. He later talks to Dexter and apologies about the game, and states that "he wants to make his life count for something". Later he is seen marking a palm chart on Brian's hand, and sending it by post to Dexter's apartment. In the final episode, Travis Marshall finds the package and opens it. He looks at the hand curiously, but quickly places it on Dexter's fridge as Jamie enters her apartment.
