Career[]
Morgan Pederson was a member of the Boston Police Department who worked as a detective. However, he eventually began receiving bribes from Vladimir Pushkin, a Russian oligarch with ties to the Russian Mafia. As a result, he worked to enforce Pushkin's criminal network alongside Frank Masters and Remar for the past three years.
After Robert McCall destroyed the East Coast hub of Pushkin's criminal operations after a failed attempt to buy the freedom of Alina, a teenage sex worker he befriended, Pushkin's enforcer Nicolai Itchenko was sent to Boston to investigate. After Nicolai arrived in Boston, Pederson, along with Remar and Masters arrived at the airport to pick Nicolai up and drive him to the scene of the homicides to investigate. After investigating, Nicolai ordered Pederson and the other detectives to prepare themselves to help find the killer responsible for the homicides the following day.
After Pederson, Nicolai, Remar, and Frank went to McCall's apartment, they searched, they were unaware that McCall was watching them via various installed cameras throughout the apartment. As Frank found tablets for air sickness, Morgan found an open laptop detailing flight information. Although Morgan believed that McCall was attempting to leave Boston by plane, Nicolai correctly deduced that McCall was observing them. Before leaving, Nicolai ordered Pederson and the other detectives to find McCall or he would bring in other people to do the job. The following day, Pederson was killed alongside Remar by Nicolai, possibly for their failure to find McCall. Their bodies were found in the trunk of their car at the police precinct they worked at, while Frank went into hiding.
