A legend amongst his clone brothers, Rex was a dedicated veteran soldier and brave Clone Captain, later a Clone Commander. Rex was produced from the template of the bounty hunter Jango Fett. Rex even had adapted Jango's blaster-spinning routine with his pistols. As with all of his fellow clone troopers, Rex lived to serve the Galactic Republic and to protect its citizens. While he was eager to follow orders, Rex adopted a less rigid approach as the Clone Wars wore on. Indeed, while he was someone with an absolute loyalty to the Republic and his Jedi leaders, even he would find himself plagued with doubt as the Clone War dragged on, taking more lives and ruining more planets. During the Clone Wars, Rex would work alongside the Clone Commander Cody, the Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, and the Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano. He was also loyal to his men, feeling that protecting them was one of his primary duties as a leader. He tried not to dwell on any of the deaths of his countless friends and brothers, but when he had reason to believe that his comrade Echo was alive, he clung on to this belief. During the Clone Wars, Rex's priorities were first and foremost to his clone brothers, whom he loved deeply. He was disgusted by Clone Sergeant Slick's betrayal of the Republic during the Battle of Christophsis, and was greatly anguished having to defend himself and shoot his own men during the execution of Order 66. Rex was particularly close to Commander Cody, as well as ARC troopers Fives and Echo. He greatly mourned the sacrifice of clone trooper Hevy; despite not having known the clone for very long, Hevy made a significant impression on the captain. Rex was also devastated by Fives's death and the apparent death of Echo, whom he was determined to rescue when it was discovered that he was alive. At some point, a photograph was taken of Cody, Fives, Echo, and Rex, which Rex treasured greatly. He was close with many other members of the 501st as well, including clone medic Kix, ARC trooper Jesse, and troopers Hardcase and Tup, among others. Rex allowed the clone deserter Cut Lawquane to continue living his life away from the war.[17] Rex and Lawquane's wife, Suu, were also friends. He was also close with Commando Gregor—whom he considered an old friend—and Commander Wolffe, living with the two of them for many years following the Clone Wars. However, despite his love for his brothers, when they were controlled by their inhibitor chips during Order 66, Rex was willing to kill them if it meant saving Ahsoka's life. It was not a decision Rex made lightly, with the Clone Officer crying at the thought that his brothers had been brainwashed to lay down their lives to kill him and Tano. Although in the end Ahsoka told him not to kill them, the clones were killed in the crash of the Tribunal, but Rex and Tano made sure to bury their bodies to honor their former friends. Rex was very close with his Jedi General Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars, harboring deep respect and friendship for the man. The two trusted each other with their lives on a near-constant basis, and Skywalker even trusted Rex to know about his secret marriage and to act as lookout whenever he wished to talk to her via hologram. The two were close enough that friendly teasing was commonplace in their conversations. Rex trusted Skywalker despite some of his risky plans, noting that Skywalker always led from the front and appreciating his commitment to his troops. Rex also developed a friendship and close bond with Skywalker's Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, even becoming a mentor to her by offering her advice and valuable leadership experience, teaching her that experience outranked everything. When Tano was framed for murder and treason, Rex doubted that she had committed the crimes, but followed the order to arrest her nonetheless. Despite this, the two would maintain a deep respect for each other after the Clone Wars. Rex and many of the other clones repainted their armor when Tano returned to their ranks shortly before the Siege of Mandalore. Although Tano told him that he did not have to refer to her as commander anymore since she had left the Jedi Order, Rex did so anyway. When Order 66 was issued, Rex managed to resist his programming long enough to warn Ahsoka, before succumbing to the order. Under the influence of order 66, Rex's goal was to kill Ahsoka. However, after Ahsoka had Rex's inhibitor chip removed, his loyalty to Ahsoka returned, and he was willing to kill own brothers to save her life. During the Imperial Era, Tano recalled her clone trooper friend when she saw the farmer Kaeden Larte, whose skin she noted to be darker than Rex's, albeit lighter than Mace Windu's. Later, she refused to imagine two stormtroopers as sharing Rex's face. Later during the Age of the Empire, Rex reunited with Tano by joining the rebellion. His knowledge of former Republic military bases, combat skills, and military tactics would help the reb
