This secret side to our killer is inspired some roles of detectives with other double lives. For example, Sherlock is a very straight talking possibly innocent character who doesn't understand the means of human interaction that is socially acceptable. At one point in the series he has a secret girlfriend to keep the media and the girl happy and to get to where he wants, but he knows full well that the relationship would not go any further than work purposes because that's all he needed her for. This kind of self aware but unaware of society norms is the kind of killer we are going for.
This is much like Dexter; a detective who is very good at his job because he understand the mind of a killer as that is what he does on the side of his day job. Dexter's soul purpose for killing is to take out the 'bad guys' in society. He is driven through a lack of emotions and throughly studies humans and their behavior patterns to integrate himself successfully in the real world. Much like Sherlock, he has a secret girlfriend who he uses as a cover up, to make him seem more human.
