**Rex Brisbane** is the leader of the Rioteers and an ex-doctor who used to work for ARCDA on the Type-7 Avio prototypes under Eve Mira.

## Appearance

Rex is described as being tall and fairly muscular for his age, appearing to be in his mid 50's. He has short red hair which is now greying and grey eyes. He apparently has a strong sharp Irish accent.

He is missing his right index finger as this was bitten off by Storm.

In videos of Rex when he was younger, he spiked his hair up and smiled a lot more.

## Personality

From what has been seen of Rex his is a very angry and short tempered individual who always has an expression of exhaustion and disappointment, but is very quick to blame Storm for anything that goes wrong. He appears more patient with others and calmer when not dealing with Storm, and was once stable enough to work with kids and used to be very enthusiastic however this seems to have waned somewhat.

In videos of Rex from before Mullardoch was destroyed, Rex appears to be more sarcastic and enthusiastic, laughing and joking.

Although Storm tends to overlook it with the Rex she is more familiar with, he is a highly intelligent man who is capable of coordinating the Rioteers and persuasive enough that many followed him and acted with him in destroying Mullardoch. Gaius Daniels refers to him as being paranoid, but found it useful as it meant that he could protect things more efficiently, however it shows that Rex has his own agenda and does not want to reveal this to anyone. Like Gaius, other Synths view Rex as being unstable and unreliable however with humans and Rioteers he appears to have a talent for being able to galvanise people into being on his side and persuading them that he is doing the right thing.

## History

#### Mullardoch.

Rex was initially an intern who was brought on to work on the Synths at Mullardoch. He apparently changed his name to Rex Brisbane when the Type-7's were four years old. He used to work with Mailey Lovatt, Min-Jin Sang and Mikele Merlo, and appears to have had a good working relationship with them, openly joking with Min-Jin in one video log.

At some point something happened which made him become proactive in going against ARCDA and rallying enough support to destroy Mullardoch. What happened to him to lead up to this event is unknown.

#### Rioteers

How Rex began the Rioteers is unknown, but he has apparently had enough support and backing for it to have grown very quickly from nowhere. He does his best to lead from the front lines, traveling to different parts of the world to ensure that their work is being done. His personality appears to fit more with the North American groups which have been shown to be larger and more aggressive than other Synth groups in other locations.

## Role

#### ARCDA

Rex's role in ARCDA was initially as a assistant researcher to Eve Mira, before at some point becoming a project Sub-Coordinator on the Type-7 Identicals study.

There was a point where his anxiety and paranoia was used to '*encrypt every file they had into chromostorage*' according to Gaius Daniels.

#### Rioteers

Rex's role in the Rioteers is that he is the leader for the entirety of the Rioteers worldwide, and often travels to keep command of the various branches. He has sub-leaders but they are all people who are similar in style to himself, and encourages them to be proactive in attacking ARCDA and Hasekura.

## Relationships

* **Storm Fraser-Swann**

Storm and Rex hate each other vehemently for many reasons, with a list that has kept on growing with each passing year. Rex repeatedly insults, berates, and makes a scapegoat of Storm whilst she retaliates in kind. At Mullardoch, Rex had his Rioteers kidnap some of the Type-7 Avios, along with various other project and prototype synths.

* **Asena Canis**

Rex is patient and sensible around Asena, not retaliating when she is angry unlike Storm. He respects her authority and knows when to back down however he does make sure that the Rioteers answer to him and not Asena.

* **Eve Mira**

Little is known of the relationship between them, though there must have been enough trust between them that Eve allowed Rex to coordinate the Type-7 Project.

* **Gaius Daniels**

"Ruadri is a paranoid little fuck!" - The relationship between Gaius and Rex seems to be a lot deeper than Storm first realises.

* **Imogen Brisbane**

Imogen is Rex's daughter, who he is very adoring of and attached to. Her mother, Isla, was killed during the Japan incident.

* **Maira Foley**

Maira is shown to be very suspicious and sceptical of what her uncle does, being very open in declaring that she thinks he is a terrorist.

## Quotes

* "What worries me is if Gaius finds that out he's just going to want to use the new batch tanks to mass produce them, ruin the genomes trying to make them grow fast and ship them out as super soldiers, or some shit like that. They're kids, not weapons."
* "The whole point of making them was to improve humanity and find ways to diversify for the future and not to go all Il'ya Ivanov and make slaves of them."

## Trivia

* Rex changed his name from Ruadri Foley to Rex Brisbane, to reflect the amount of times that he has broken his bones.
	+ Ruadri means *Red King*, and Foley *Plunderer*
	+ Rex means *King*, and Brisbane means *Broken Bone*
* Rex is one of the oldest characters in Stormbite, having origins from stories previously written before Stormbite was even conceived, still maintaining his role as the head of the Rioteers, with his niece Maira, back in 2007.
* He is referred to as "the King" often mockingly by Storm. He is often seen as being outranked by Asena who is referred to as "the Empress"
