The Dark Passenger is a concept used within the DEXTER Universe to represent the "demon" inside of all of us that actively makes us do terrible things. While it was actually built upon as being an actual entity in the novels, it more or less is the level of "darkness" in each person's personality that can either control them or be controlled.
Originally, the Dark Passenger was Dexter's way of naming the "desire to kill" that's buried into his body. This Dark Passenger is always trying to claim him, wanting him to kill but he keeps it at bay with a high level of control, and instead of focusing his kills on innocents, only uses it on those who he knows are guilty (and have their own passengers).
Whenever Dexter comes into contact with someone who he believes to have a strong Dark Passenger, his personality changes to that of someone in awe and wonder that someone is just like him. This is first seen withMiguel Prado claiming he had a Dark Passenger and thus, as Dexter watches him kill in a Ritual, he watches on with his mouth wide open and feeling a sense of release about himself.
