Captain Rex was the gruff no nonsense leader of the 501st during most of the Clone Wars, distinguished by "jaig

He participated in several battles during the Clone Wars, the earliest ones being The Battle of Christophsis where he uncovered a plot that a traitor had planted, The Battle of Teth, were he rescued Jabba the Hutt's son, and The Battle of Rishi where inducted Echo and Fives into the 501st. He was stranded on Maridun for some time, but was rescued. He was part of a strike team to destroy Skytop Station where encountered General Grievous. He also fought on the snow planet of Orto Plutonia to protect Chairmen Cho from the neutral Talz. Rex participated in the raid of Vindi's lab on Naboo to stop illegal Blue Shadow Virus production, oversaw the battle of Ryloth, attempted to retake a stolen holocron from Cad Bane, and took part in the Second Battle of the red planet of Geonosis, where the opening battle of the clone wars took place. On Saleucami, he met a clone who deserted the republic during the First Battle of Geonosis. He protected Duchess Satine from Mandalorian terrorists, and unwoke the hibernating Zillo Beast. He returned to his home on Kamino to protect it from General Grievous, and promoted Echo and Fives to ARC Trooper for their bravery. Rex, Echo, and Fives were part of an elite team that rescued Even Piell from the Citadel, Echo was killed, but they were successful. When Phase II armor was issued before The Battle of Umbara, Rex designed a custom helmet that combined the best features of the Phase I and Phase II armor. After landing on the surface, Rex and Anakin cleared the ridge for Hawk's air strike. When Anakin Skywalker's place was taken by General Krell, Rex realized the new general despised clones. Krell trashed Anakin's plan and came up with his own. He ordered all of the 501st to directly attack the Capitol. Without cover, Rex and his men were overwhelmed. Changing targets, Krell forced them to lead an attack with the same strategy: March right into the enemy, try to stay alive, don't retreat. Due to Fives and Hardcase stealing Starfighters, the clones were successful. After Fives, Jesse, and Hardcase disobeyed Krell's orders, the clones were forced to kill each other, as one time it was execution, and the second both sides thought the other were disguised enemies. Rex had the General arrested and executed. He later participated in the Battle of Kiros and impersonated a Zygerian Slaver to uncover the location of Togrutan Slaves. As of now, his fate is unknown, he is replaced Commander Appo as leader of the 501st in Revenge of the Sith. indicating he does not survive up to that point.
