- CC-7567 to Ahsoka Tano

CC-7567, also known as Rex, was a clone trooper captain but is actually a clone commander who commands all of the 501st Legion.

Biography


During the Clone Wars he was in command of Torrent Company of the famed 501st Legion and also was the clone commander who was in command of all of the 501st Legion. Rex and his men were assigned to patrol the sectors of the galaxy within the Outer Rim. Anakin Skywalker's second in command during the Clone Wars, Captain Rex was a freethinking tough as nails and aggressive clone trooper. Rex voiced his professional opinion to even the highest-ranking Jedi.

Rex fought alongside Generals Kenobi and Skywalker at the Battle of Christophsis, and then led Torrent Company at the Battle of Teth. Rex and his men held off Asajj Ventress' droid armies long enough for Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano to escape Teth with Rotta the Hutt. He engaged against several droids in a courtyard at the monastery. Although Torrent Company was reduced to six men during the battle, Rex and his soldiers held off an entire droid army long enough for General Kenobi to arrive with the 212th Attack Battalion. Rex understood Anakin's decision to head to Tatooine, as the mission always comes first. Rex would later lead a group of rookies with Commander Cody to take back a communications station on the Rishi moon. He created the plan to get the droids to open the guards by pretending to be one of the droids in the clone armor. After using a severed droid head to fool the guard he blasted the guard in the head and proceeded to fight and ultimately kill the droid commander by snapping his neck.

Armor and equipment
Rex's armor used the color design that the entire 501st Legion had in 19 BBY, though the armor itself was still Phase I armor. He also wore a kama and pauldron, and his helmet displayed Jaig eyes. He carried twin blaster pistols but also utilized the more standard blaster rifles. When required, Rex could also be seen using jetpacks.

Behind the scenes
Rex has a scar similar to that of Harrison Ford.
