Rex (レックス, Rex) is the main protagonist of Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Origin

Rex with Azurda in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

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. 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, battle each other until Azurda rescues Rex and Pyra, as well as Nia and Dromarch, who defect to Rex's side. After that, they begin to travel around Alrest on their journey to reach Elysium. During these adventures, Rex makes new allies and awakens Pyra's alter-ego Mythra, and together they fulfill the promise Rex made to Pyra while fighting off Torna.

Rex appears as part of Pyra and Mythra's Final Smash. He aids them with their respective move for the duration of the Final Smash.

As a costume

Rex set for Mii Swordfighter, featuring Azurda.

Rex was considered for the initial roster alongside other prospective characters like a character from ARMS, and Pokémon's Decidueye; however, he could not be added due to Xenoblade Chronicles 2 being announced after character planning finished in 2016. As an offered alternative, Rex appears as a costume for the Mii Swordfighter. Azurda (otherwise known as Gramps) in his miniature companion form appears in the set's helmet. The costume comes as a free bonus with purchase of the Fighters Pass Vol. 1.

Other

Rex is seen in Pyra and Mythra's reveal trailer, searching for a seemingly missing Pyra. When he finds her on Final Destination, she reveals that he was chosen for Smash over him, much to his disappointment.

Rex also appears in one of Pyra's taunts.
