Rex

Captain Rex (then later Commander Rex), was the commanding officer of the 501st Legion of the GAR during the Clone Wars under General Skywalker.
==OtherWhen==
====The Clone Wars====
Rex and the 501st was first under the command of General Natangnu, "one of those assholes who thought we were meat clankers, and treated us like it, too" according to Rex. Anakin Skywalker took command of the 501st after Natangu's death.
Rex, though Captain of Torrent Company, had taken the Commanding position of the 501st Legion after their original Commander, Commander Bell, was killed in action. He remained in command of the Legion until the seventh month of the Sieges, when friendly fire took out all of Torrent Company save for six men and all of Ghost Company of the 212th save for twenty men. Rex was injured severely, necessitating being sent back to Kamino for recovery.
====Order 66 and the Following Year====
He was on Kamino for Order 66, and was one of 15 to resist the Order. In the wake of Order 66, he led one of the four squads that left the planet, each squad running dark with the goal to reunite again a year later on Tatooine.
The Imperials caught up to Rex and his squad, Go, Break, Io, and Arrow, on Ruuria on 8/13th 5213. Darth Vader was present at the scene, and dropped parts of a building on Rex, leaving him for dead while his squad was executed. (Later on Anakin Skywalker revealed that he had been the one nudging Vader toward a situation that Rex could survive) Rex spent the remaining of the year on his own.
At the determined date of the meet, only Wolffe, Gregor and him met up.
==== Alliance ====
After the meet on Tatooine, Wolffe led the three of them to Alderaan, where they met with Bail Organa, and with Ahsoka Tano—whom Rex had believed dead before the end of the war. The existence of the chips and their use was revealed to Organa at this time, and the real identity of Palpatine, as Sith Lord Sidious was revealed to the clones during that same meeting.
Rex, Wolffe and Gregor became one independent cell of the Alliance, joining Ahsoka's group much later on.
====Lost in The Echo====
After Wolffe intercepted interesting rumors and Ahsoka received direct contact from Cypher on Lothal, action was taken to meet the group on the ground.
