Harold Tress is a character in DEXTER as well as Dexter Early Cuts. He was a 44-year-old man whom lived in an apartment building owned by multimillionaire Gene Marshall, until Gene's pyromania took control and burned the entire complex to the ground killing a total of seven people. While the Showtime series rules the incident as an accident, Early Cuts claims that Gene Marshall was mentally unfit to stand trial and thus went to a psychiatric hospital. He was later found and killed by Dexter Morgan.
