Origin

Rex was a 15 year old salvager from Letheria who lived on a titan named Azurda or "Gramps" until a fated meeting with the Aegis Pyra while on a salvaging mission with Jin, Malos, Nia, and Dromarch, but after touching Pyra's sword, Jin kills Rex by impaling him in the heart, and reveals that he leads an organization known as Torna. Rex wakes up in a memory of Elysium and meets Pyra who requests him to take her to the real Elysium in exchange for bringing him back to life. Immediately after being revived, Rex and Malos, Torna's second-in-command as well as another Aegis, battled each other until Azurda rescues Rex and Pyra, as well as Nia and Dromarch who were initially members of Torna but defects to Rex's side. After that, they begin to travel around Alrest starting at Gormott, meeting Tora, Poppi, Mòrag, Brighid, Vandham, Roc, Zeke, and Pandoria, on their journey to reach Elysium while having run-ins with three more Torna members; Akhos, Patroka, and Mikhail.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Rex set for Mii Sword Fighter, featuring Azurda.

While Rex was considered for the roster, he couldn't be added due to Ultimate being too far into development and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 being announced after planning finished. As an offered alternative, Rex appears as a costume for the Mii Swordfighter. Azurda in his companion form appears in the set's hood. The costume comes free with purchase of the Fighters Pass. Rex also appears as a spirit.
