Derek Morgan outwardly appears to be a man's man. A co-worker noted once that he's never seen Morgan with the same woman twice to which Derek didn't deny. However, he wasn't macho about it, but placed blame on work taking up most of his time. A female co-worker also called him 'a good guy' which Morgan responded coyly to, prompting her to continue, "You make the people around you feel good." Nonetheless, he makes no qualms about enjoying the company of women and is a notorious flirt.

He's a force to be reckoned with when children are in danger and has, on occasion, gotten ahead of himself in cases involving children. Derek has a very strong hero complex that he would never admit to (as the complex is known for) and has risked his life for complete strangers as well as his teammates. He is prone to getting physical on the job and regularly tackles fleeing suspects to include leaping rooftops and jumping onto a moving train.

His dedication to the job is fierce and stems from childhood trauma that Morgan won't readily discuss. Not only did he lose his father at the tender age of ten, but a community leader that everyone thought was helping Derek stay out of trouble, was sexually abusing him during his adolescent years. Morgan never told anyone until he recently discovered a neighborhood boy was suffering as he did and the boy's friend had lost his life trying to help.

The FBI agent eventually faced his molester. "I KNEW I should've told somebody about you when I was a kid! God, I was so afraid of you. I was afraid of the cops, what people would say. I was afraid of losing everything I was gaining." In the exchange with his abuser, Derek stated the man had everything to do with making him who he is. "I'm the kind (of man) that has to spend the rest of this life making sure guys like YOU go down!"

Not only is his abuse what makes Morgan so tenacious in cases involving children but he also discovered a slain child close to his own age when he was fifteen that was never claimed by anyone. Derek felt responsible for the dead boy, having discovered the body, and collected money to bury the boy properly. He visits the grave every time he visits home. He shows the same kind of care and tenderness around all children.

Never one afraid to speak his mind, he might not readily agree or believe his teammates but Derek always has their backs. He's also shown to have a close family and visits his mother in Chicago every year for her birthday. However, he placates his mother, telling her that he is always safe which is far from the truth with his gusto for the job.

Morgan has panicked his team members on occasion with risks he's taken alone at work and was even refused a recommendation from his supervisor on a promotion, being told that he (Derek) has issues trusting his teammates (to back him).
