Alice is the daughter of Douglas and Laura Morgan. She was a child prodigy who enrolled in Oxford University at age 13. She received her Ph.D. in Astrophysics at age 18, for her study of dark matter distribution in disc galaxies. Alice is a genius, as well as a sociopath and malignant/malvolent narcissist. She states that she felt as though she was a freak growing up, and hated her parents. In S01E01, her parents are murdered, and the murder is investigated by the Serious Crimes Unit. DCI John Luther (Idris Elba) quickly deduces that it was Alice who killed them, but he is unable to prove it. Alice is proud of the murders, and views it as a sign of prestige, power, and self-affirmation.Over the course of the series, Alice becomes a close friend of Luther's and one of the few people he trusts, sometimes acting as his accomplice. Their friendship is strong, despite the fact that Alice's core belief, that nothing ultimately matters, comes into direct conflict with Luther's. Show less «
