Francis York Morgan

Francis York Morgan is the main character of Deadly Premonition.

Please, Call Me York
York is an extremely successful FBI criminal profiler who has solved some of the most puzzling cases out there. He invariably insists for everyone to call him York, as everyone does.

He talks to "Zach", who helps him solve cases and offers information from within his head.

Season 7
York hears of the mysteries going on at Bogdanoff Championship Wrestling and goes to investigate.

Episode 1

To start, he drives in using a vehicle he bought from the previous owner.

He tries to fight and then discuss with a fellow investigator about the state of the surroundings, but he suddenly leaves in the middle of the match.

Episode 2

Someone called "Emperor" claims the car belongs to him and wins, going away with it.

Episode 3
As he leaves, York ponders, and notes a few inconsistencies there:


 * 1) The car's identification and papers claim it is a "LAN EVO", circa the late 1990s. "LAN EVO" don't have removable tops & The LAN EVO wasn't exported out of Japan until 2005 and the Evolution VIII. Yet the papers in the glove box claim this vehicle was manufactured in the late 90s.
 * 2) This "Emperor" is a respected street racer from Japan, who "rules the mountain", whatever that means. This "Emperor" clearly isn't Japanese. He has a Mexican accent and regularly speaks Spanish.

Episode 4
York interrogates Takahashi Ryosuke and finds the following about "Emperor":

Episode 5
 * 1) His real name is Sudo Kyoichi, the team he races with is "Emperor". Odd that his name is "Sudo Kyoichi", considering his Spanish accent.
 * 2) "Simulation X" is his "special racing technique". Strange of him to have such a technique while also having a crippling inability to turn right.

He investigates the "capo" of the group that sold "Emperor" his car. He refuses any information and as he's instructed to leave, Charles approaches him hearing his name as "Frank". York decides to cooperate in case he may know anything useful.

Episode 6

He tries to buy some "premium" coffee beans from Sneed's Feed & Seed (Formerly Chuck's) when Charles mentions he knows Sneed as one of the bastards that kicked him from Mafia City. Chuck becomes enraged at the idea of his friend becoming a damn city slicker and leaves.

Episode 7

He fights Charles to try and get into the tournament for more info, but loses.

Episode 8

Charles is busy partying, so York investigates by himself and Zach.

Apparently "Emperor" knows some japanese, as if he had family over there. He then notices Emperor's "Lan Evo" parked backstage and finds his original driver's license.

York confronts Emperor about this, which enrages him and makes him attack him. Emperor knocks York out.

Off-Season 8
