Robert Morgan is the local constable of New Jerusalem. As the town's local law enforcement, Morgan is a kind and caring individual who cares deeply for his community. When the Anthropophagi attack, Morgan takes it almost personally. He knows enough to track Warthrop down, and request his assistance, but it is clear he doesn't like dealing with the monstrumologist. When Warthrop hires Kearns to assist, Morgan nearly arrests him several times, as he knows Kearns is a monster himself. Morgan tries throughout the novel to take care of both Malachi and Will Henry, showing an almost fatherly affection for the young boys.
