**Kenneth Alexander Morgan** was the family lawyer of the Cross Family.

## Background

*Ken Morgan is a power lawyer, corporate fixer and attorney to the Cross family.*

*A UK-born New Yorker, Morgan studied law at Cambridge where he was nicknamed "The Brick" for his bulky frame and ruthless cross-examination techniques. After a brief spell as a junior counselor at an esteemed London firm, Morgan moved to New York and founded what was to be the top legal firm, Morgan, Yates & Kohn.*

*Morgan distinguished himself in corporate law, but it was a criminal case which propelled him into fame. In 2004, Morgan successfully led the defense of Chelsea Whitmore, a teenage high society girl accused of killing a homeless man and framing her cheerleading rival. Dubbed the trial of the decade, Morgan had his client acquitted by arguing that Chelsea was a victim of affluenza, also known as "rich kid syndrome."*

*This display of legal wizardry so impressed Thomas Cross, eccentric owner of the Cross Holdings media empire, that he made Morgan his personal attorney. Morgan went from victory to victory, representing corporate giants such as Ether, Hamsun Oil, Kronstadt Technologies and Haven Corporate Services. However, he also earned a reputation for playing fast and loose with the law, bribing public officials and blackmailing witnesses.*

*One year ago, Morgan led the defense of Jordan Cross, when Hannah Highmoore fell to her death from Cross' penthouse loft in DUMBO, New York. According to the clients, Morgan actively and knowingly helped Jordan Cross cover up Hannah's death as an accident, bribing police officers and manipulating the media. Because of his expert effort, Hannah was branded an out-of-control party girl, and Cross came out a grieving victim smelling like roses.*

*To date, Ken Morgan has never lost a case.*
*Morgan comes across as a mild-mannered, elegant and silver-tongued Englishman. A courteous and somewhat harmless bon vivant bachelor, he lives alone in a penthouse, overlooking Central Park, with his Basset Hound Pickles. But make no mistake, Ken Morgan can annihilate anyone in a court room and has the will and resources to crush anyone who stands in his or his clients' way.*

## Trivia

* Ken appears to be partially inspired by New York lawyer , former mayor and former U.S. President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Besides their shared career and home city, they feature comparable hairlines and Morgan's glasses resemble several pairs frequently worn by Giuliani.
* Ken bears a strong resemblance to American actor David Cross.
* Despite their very close business relationship, Ken mentions to his bodyguard that he had only talked to Thomas Cross face-to-face twice in his entire life - once aboard Cross' jumbo jet to be offered the role of senior counselor, and once in New York when Jordan was indicted. In the same conversation, he states his belief that Thomas cares for Jordan but "has an odd way of showing it".
* Some time ago, he had a relationship with actress Jackie Carrington.
* He seems to be a fan of football, as he talks with his bodyguard about the World Sports Federation Championship. He even bought a ticket to see the England vs. Argentina match, but because of his appointment in Bangkok, he's unable to go to the championship.
	+ Both England and Argentina would eventually become destinations in *Hitman 3* and, coincidentally, both involve his firm.
	+ Providence operative Haas Rheinhardt, president of the World Sports Federation, will call him from the match in regards to a sports doping scandal.
* Morgan can end up meeting Jordan Cross if the two encounter each other in the hotel lobby, causing Cross to believe that Morgan was sent by his father to spy on him. The two head up to the Queen Suite, where Morgan reveals he was sent to retrieve the recording of Hannah Highmoore's death from Dexy Barat. Cross will angry push him off the balcony.
	+ Morgan's death is counted as an accident kill and his body will not be noticed by civilians.
	+ It is possible to use the weapon lure trick to get Ken Morgan to follow you upstairs to The Class suite to meet Jordan Cross - will have to get Otis out of the way first.
* Ken Morgan's death was apparently ruled an accident; in *The Ark Society*, one of the custodians near the helipad writes off talk of his assassination as "an alt-right conspiracy".
* Ken's business partner, Don Archibald Yates, later becomes a target in The Farewell in *HITMAN™ III*.
	+ Don resents Diana Burnwood for being responsible for Ken's death, which he brings up several times in the mission.
	+ After Morgan's death, Don and Valentina Yates adopted his dog Pickles, who later got ran over by a grape picker.
* In early versions of the game Morgan would go to a trashcan rather than the nearby bathroom, if sickened with an emetic poison at the food bar, cheating the player out of a drowning assassination opportunity. This appears to have been changed at some point.
* Ken is Straight.
* Ken is a Pole Dancer.
