- — Rex
Rex (Japanese: レックス, Rekkusu; English dub: /ˈɹɛks/) is the main playable character and the 男性 protagonist of 异度神剑 2. He is a Driver who harnesses the power of a Blade named Pyra, also known as the legendary Aegis. Rex is devoted to protecting her, and together with Pyra, he goes on a quest to find her long-lost home, Elysium. Due to the Aegis' duality, Rex can drive the 其它 incarnation of the 武器, the Blade Mythra.
Rex was designed by Masatsugu Saitō, the lead character 设计师 for the game.
Contents
Personality
Rex is an optimistic and easy-going, yet naive, young boy. He wishes to protect and support those close to him, to the point that he sends most of the money he obtains from salvaging to his home village. However, Rex tends to be careless and overconfident, which puts him and his companions in trouble from time to time.
Since being a kid, Rex had a strong sense of justice and was against 对立 and war; due to this, he wants to reach Elysium, as he believes that, by doing so, he can save humanity from its dying world. He fears causing suffering to 其它 with his actions, usually blaming himself whenever someone is hurt or killed.
Appearance
Rex is a young teen with short brown hair and golden eyes. After awakening Pyra, part of her Core Crystal appears on his chest in an X shape. Rex usually wears a blue, brown and gold salvager gear on a blue outfit which is completely covered when salvaging. He wears an anchor on his 左臂 and a diving helmet in which he usually carries Azurda.
As the Master Driver, Rex wears a futuristic-looking white and green 防具, matching Pneuma's. It maintains the overall shape of Rex's initial 防具, and is functional for salvaging.
Alternate Costumes

Cloud Sea Shark, Cloud Sea King, Prototype Suit
Rex has three alternate costumes which can be obtained as DLC Aux Cores via Challenge Battle Mode. These are:
Story
The circumstances of Rex's birth and early years are 未知. He was around two years old when he and his mother washed up on the shores of Fonsett Village. His mother died upon arrival and his father's body was found elsewhere in the Leftherian Archipelago nearby; they were both buried in Oratory Knoll Cemetery. Rex grew up in Fonsett under care of Corinne, raised by the townsfolk and the Titan Azurda, known to Rex as "Gramps". By the age of 15, Rex is living full-time on the back of Azurda in the Cloud Sea, where he earns a living as a Salvager.

Rex and Azurda
While visiting the Argentum Trade Guild Rex is offered a high-paid salvaging job, requested by an organisation called Torna through the Chairman of Argentum. He accepts, joining the crew aboard the C.S.E.V. Maelstrom on the way to the Ancient Ship. Once there, Rex is ordered by Jin, Torna's 领导, to accompany them to the 内部 of the ship to open sealed doors only accessible by leftherian. Past the doors, Rex is the first to enter a room containing a sword and a chamber containing a young woman held in 暂停一阵子 animation. Rex approaches and accidentally touches the Core Crystal on the sword's hilt, and Jin stabs Rex through the heart, killing him.

Rex meets Pyra
Rex finds himself in an open green field, with the girl from the ship standing under a tree atop a hill ahead. Rex goes to her, and she introduces herself as Pyra, a Blade, and informs him to his horror that he has been killed; they are in her memory of the legendary Elysium. Pyra offers Rex half of her own life force to revive him, on the promise that he take her to the real Elysium at the top of the World Tree. After reviving, Rex and Pyra confront Malos in an attempt to save the 其它 salvagers. Nia, a member of Torna already shaken by Rex's death, 加入 them after disagreeing with Jin and Malos' capacity for murder. As the salvagers escape a ship arrives belonging to Torna and fires on them, but Azurda appears, saving Rex, Nia, Pyra, and Dromarch and fleeing from the ship. He is wounded in the escape and the group wash up in Gormott Province separated from each 其它.

Rescuing Nia
Rex wakes alone with Pyra. They find Azurda mortally wounded, but he is able to 再生 instead of dying, into a younger, nymph-like state able to fit in Rex's helmet. After reuniting with Nia, they set out to Nia's hometown of Torigoth. Nia is recognised as a member of Torna and thus a terrorist, and captured by ardainian troops occupying Torigoth in order to lure Rex to them to confiscate Pyra due to her power as the Aegis. Rex allies with a local 诺彭 called 虎, who dislikes the occupation and is building his his own Artificial Blade; with Tora's help Nia is rescued and the group escape Gormott on a Titan ship bound for the World Tree. The group is attacked by a huge 机 that Pyra recognises as Ophion, and their ship is destroyed upon being swallowed whole by the Titan Uraya.
Within Uraya the party meet 凡达姆, the 领导 of a mercenary group, who offers his help to them after battling them to test Rex's strength. He acts like a tutor to Rex, influencing his viewpoint on war and 对立 when 凡达姆 recognises that Rex is unaware of much about Blades and Driving. He escorts the group to Fonsa Myma to meet one of Vandham's acquaintances, Cole, who 凡达姆 believes may know about climbing the World Tree. Pyra disappears to confront Malos and Akhos in Olethro Ruins when they kidnap Cole's granddaughter. Rex follows and tries to fight them but is unable to win, resulting in Vandham's death as he tries to save Rex. Rex tries to fight on despite this, forcing Mythra to awaken to protect him, overwhelming Malos and Akhos with her power before berating Rex's foolish attack. Rex breaks down over Vandham's death.

Rex speaks to his parents' 墓碑
After Vandham's funeral, Rex inherits Roc's Core Crystal and the mercenary company. Following Cole's suggestion the party decides to go to the Indoline Praetorium to meet Cole's original Driver, Amalthus, via the Empire of Mor Ardain. In Mor Ardain they are attacked by Mòrag again, but help her prevent a sale of Artificial Blades to Torna. She 加入 the group and Fan la Norne, the "Goddess of the Praetorium", meets them and guides them toward the Praetorium. They stop at Fonsett Village in Leftheria, where Rex shows Pyra his parent's 墓碑, and promises again to take her to Elysium. At the final ship to Indol, Zeke, who has confronted Rex and his group in Uraya and Mor Ardain under the guise of stealing Pyra, stands against them a third time, revealing himself as the Tantalese prince and an envoy of the Praetorium, joining the party.
When Rex meets Praetor Amalthus in Indol, he is reminded him of Malos, although this is rationalized as due to Amalthus being Malos' Driver (Malos is a second Aegis). While the party stay in the Praetorium, a Titan 武器 excavated by Mor Ardain in Temperantia is stolen by Jin to attack Urayan troops. The party go to stop him, but Fan la Norne is stabbed and killed. After the political tension born from Jin's actions calm down, Rex is informed by Amalthus that Ophion may be controlled with the Omega Fetter in the Kingdom of Tantal. After arriving there and saving Pyra from King Eulogimenos, who tries to kill her as he assumes her presence a threat, the group travels down to the Omega Fetter in Genbu's head. They are ambushed by Torna and defeated by Jin, revealing himself to be a Blade with 魂控 of elementary particles. He takes Pyra and the Fetter, and tells Rex that Rex is the responsible for Pyra and Mythra's pain. Rex is left badly injured and unconscious, with the Aegis Sword broken, and spends the next few days recovering in bed at Anastatia's in Theosoir.

Rex finds the third sword
Being defeated and humiliated by Jin shatters Rex's self-esteem. After waking up, he explains to the 其它 that he has given up and wants to go back to Argentum. Nia, Poppi and Brighid intervene, trying to make Rex realize that Pyra had been willing to sacrifice her life for his sake. The conversation is interrupted by Pandoria, who announces that King Eulogimenos has a message for Rex. The King informs Rex about the Third Aegis Sword, 被舍弃了 by Addam, and Azurda informs him of the location of the sword: the 精灵 Crucible Elpys. There, the group confronts Addam's 梦幻s, and Nia reveals that she is a Flesh Eater as she finally trusts Rex with her identity. Addam's 精灵 recognizes Rex as worthy of the power of the Aegis, and tells him to understand the fear Pyra and Mythra carry in order to become her true Driver. Despite not being able to obtain the third sword as they had hoped, Rex is able to intuit Pyra's location 感谢 to his half of the Core Crystal they share. With new incentive, the group travels to the Cliffs of Morytha to save Pyra and Mythra and fulfil Rex's promise of taking them to Elysium.
Rex awakens Pneuma
At the Cliffs of Morytha, Rex confronts Jin and Malos, who has regained his power as an Aegis by stealing the memories from Pyra's Core Crystal. During the battle, Rex speaks to Pyra's and Mythra's 精灵, assuring them that he will protect them no matter what and not allow the world to burn a second time. This understanding of Pyra and Mythra's fear allows Rex to awaken Pneuma, their combined form, and become the Master Driver. Combining their power, Rex and Pneuma are able to surpass Jin; Malos summons Ophion, who he had taken 魂控 of with the Omega Fetter, and attacks them. Pneuma responds by using Siren to battle Ophion. The battle of the two Artifices destroys the ruins where they stand, causing the party and Jin to fall through the Cloud Sea below.
Rex wakes in the Land of Morytha, below the Cloud Sea, with Mythra asleep by his side. After she wakes up, Rex informs her of the situation, and they search for the 其它. They find Jin first, heavily injured as his Core Crystal has cracked, struggling to defeat a Guldo. Rex puts their differences aside and helps him, forming a temporary alliance. After reuniting with the rest, passing through the remains of the Tornan Titan, and separating from Jin, they reach the entrance to the World Tree by its roots. Pneuma opens up the elevator, and they begin their final path to reach Elysium.

Rex points his sword at Jin
While ascending through the World Tree Amalthus appears, controlling Indol, and attacks Torna's Marsanes. Amalthus uses his powers as a Driver of an Aegis (amplified by Fan's Core Crystal, which he has half of) to take 魂控 of Mor Ardain, Genbu, and Uraya. He attempts to use Siren through Mythra, but Rex is able to use his own powers as the Master Driver to counter Amalthus'. Rex and Pneuma, with help from Poppi, manage to get near the Indoline Titan, and use Pneuma's powers to slow down time and destroy the amplification towers for Amalthus' powers. Near the upper level of the World Tree, Rex and the rest of the party come face to face again with Jin, who awaited them to test Rex's resolve one last time. Jin is unable to best Rex, who explains to Jin his admiration for Blades, and his wish to ask the 設計士 the reason why he created them. The moment is interrupted by Amalthus in a monstrous Blade Eater form, as he kills Patroka and Akhos. Driven by his desire to not let anyone 其它 than himself meet the 設計士, Amalthus threatens to cause the entire World Tree to collapse. Resolutions 晴天 after hearing Rex's words, Jin sacrifices himself to kill Amalthus. The party stands in awe of Jin's act for a moment, and proceed to take the final elevator to Elysium.

Rex with Pneuma
Once the elevator stops, the party finds themselves in the First Low Orbit Station. They traverse some corridors until they finally arrive at Elysium. Instead of the grassy fields Rex had seen in Pyra's dream, they find desolated ruins. Rex, though disbelieving at the state of Elysium, leads the party towards a church in the distance. There, a voice welcomes them, and a passage appears leading below ground. Descending, Rex turns and finds himself alone; he is attacked by spectres of his companions, blaming him for everything they have lost. After fleeing these attacks he finds himself in Corinne's house with Pyra and Mythra, who 迷惑 him by acting like each 其它. When Rex breaks down in tears Pyra asks the 設計士 to stop, as he was testing Rex to determine his true nature.
Rex finds himself in the 設計士's Room with the rest of the party and the 設計士; an aged, mechanically augmented man missing his right half. The 設計士 tells them his name is Klaus, and explains the history of Alrest, including the cycle of Blades and Titans, and that he will disappear soon. Rex 感谢 Klaus for giving them life, before the party go to the Aion 停机库 to confront Malos.
During the battle against Artifice Aion, Rex explains to Malos that Jin never wanted to die, but rather to connect with Malos. After dealing a fatal blow to Aion, causing Malos' Core Crystal to break, Rex understands Malos' life and states that if he had been his Driver, Malos' fate would have been different. Malos laughs, stating that there was only one Driver for him, before dying.

Rex gains Pneuma's core crystal
As the Conduit disappears, the Orbital Stations begin to fall. The party, following Pneuma's instructions, head toward the what they assume to be the 魂控 room. Once they get there Rex realizes that Pneuma had just guided them towards the escape pods, planning to sacrifice herself to destroy the World Tree and the Orbital Station using the remains of Aion's energy to prevent its 残骸 obliterating Alrest. Rex tries to stop her, offering to go with her, but his attempts are fruitless. He accepts Pneuma's decision, receiving the 其它 half of the Core Crystal they were sharing and loses his Master Driver abilities in the process.

Pyra and Mythra reawaken
The escape pod the party takes begins to disintegrate in the atmosphere, but Azurda is able to save the party by returning to his original Titan form 感谢 to Pneuma's previous preparations. Flying above the surface of Alrest, they see the Titans start to merge with the land, creating a new world, following Klaus' final command. While this happens, Pneuma's Core Crystal begins to glow in Rex's hand. In a 闪光 of light, both Pyra and Mythra appear in front of Rex. After one final push from Nia, he takes a step forward towards them.
Torna ~ The Golden Country
Five hundred years prior to meeting Rex, in the final battle of Torna ~ The Golden Country, Mythra's foresight shows her visions of Rex; resonating with Pyra, Driving Mythra when she first reawakens, holding his hands out to both Mythra and Pyra when he accepts their fear at the Cliffs of Morytha, and turning to smile while on Azurda's back.

Games Collaboration

Rex's costume worn by Link in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
A DLC for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild bringing "Rex's costume" to link was released on November 9th, 2017. It offers the new side quest Collaboration: 异度神剑 2 where Link must discover three red 秘宝 across Hyrule, each of them containing the Salvager Headwear, Vest and 裤子/长裤. These three pieces of Rex's costume individually grant Link the bonus effect Swim Speed Up, with a set bonus of Swim Dash Stamina Up if all three pieces are worn together.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Rex during Pyra's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Rex's salvager costume complete with Azurda is available for Mii Fighters as bonus content from the fighters pass in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Rex's 精灵 also appears on the 精灵 Board and in Adventure Mode in the World of Dark's Sacred Realm. Additionally, Rex's 精灵 can be enhanced into his Master Driver appearance. Rex makes an appearance in both of the Final Smashes of Pyra and Mythra played as the 79th and 80th fighters.
According to Masahiro Sakurai, Rex could not make the base roster due to it having been finalized before the release of 异度神剑 2. The reason for why he could not be playable alongside Pyra and Mythra were due to hardware limitations of the Nintendo 开关, citing the detail across their models being a key factor.

Trivia
- Malos points out Rex's eyes as a sign he should've been wary about when hiring him. Both Rex and Addam share a golden eye color, possibly implying that Rex is a descendant of Addam.
- Rex's broadsword is called "Junk Sword", the same as Shulk's initial 武器 in 异度神剑.
- Rex and Shulk have a similar origin; both are killed whilst on a quest to find their respective god-swords and are resurrected to further the goal of the entity the sword belongs to.
