Ayn Rand with the hypocrite and stupid surgically removed. No jokes about how little that leaves, thank you.
To be more serious, and to paraphrase him, greed and ambition are his highest virtues. He honestly beleives that self-interest is good for the species, and that it is in your best interest to promote the well-being of others. You get more wealth, after all, if you build it, and it's easier to build wealth with aid than without. Competition for limited resources is for the public good.
He likes fine wine, fine cigars, good food, classical music, and traditional art - his humble abode is full of tribal art from his native Kenya, as well as European and modern paintings... hello is that a Vermeer? (Well, no, but it is a very nice reproduction from the old Unity datalinks. So many cultural treasures, lost with Earth. A true tragedy.)
He is a friendly, if aggressive, negotiator with a gift for oratory and writing; he adopts a jokey, chummy persona for when he speaks to his shareholder citizens. And I quote him on the Longevity Vaccine: "I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even five hundred would be pretty nice."
Morgan is the C.E.O. of Morgan Industries. In game terms, he's going to attempt to run the place with a Democratic, Free Market, Wealth-oriented society (and if he lives that long, yay Longevity Vaccine, Eudamoniac) government - because he believes that's the best way to get his people and himself filthy stinking rich. An intellectually free society, with a market that is, on the whole, free of regulations, is the best way to ensure a happy, motivated, productive citizenry, in his opinion.
Other: I am taking Morgan from the beginning of a game, at Planetfall, Mission Year (that is, CE) 2100. He's going to advance rapidly through that.
