"In my book, experience outranks everything..."

- Rex to Ahsoka Tano

CC-7567, also known as Rex, was a clone trooper captain. During the Clone Wars, Rex was in command of Torrent Company of the famed 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, and aggressive clone trooper. Rex voiced his professional opinions even to higher ranked Jedi. Yet his noteworthy individuality aside, Rex follows his orders without question, just like the rest of the clones and as seen when Ahsoka orders him to complete a mission rather than aid her in combat against General Grievous.

Battle of Christophsis
Rex fought alongside Generals Kenobi and Skywalker at the Battle of Christophsis, where he helped hold off a droid army long enough for Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano to successfully destroy a shield generator.

Battle of Teth
Later in the war he led Torrent Company at the Battle of Teth. Rex and his men held off Asajj Ventress's 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, never giving up, 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 came first to him.

Battle of the Rishi moon
Rex would later lead a group of rookies along with Commander Cody to take back a communications station on the Rishi moon. He created the plan to get the droids to open the door by pretending to be one of the droids in clone armor. After using a severed droid head to fool the guard he blasted the droid in the head and proceeded to fight and ultimately kill the droid commander by snapping his neck. Unfortunately, a droid invasion force commanded by General Grievous arrived to take the outpost. To give the Republic notice that the moon has been compromised, they decided to blow the outpost up with liquid tibanna. Rex tried to prime one of the detonators but it didn't work. Hevy stayed behind to fix it but failed. With droid forces overwhelming the base, Hevy made the ultimate sacrifice by manually detonating the bomb, destroying the outpost and alerting the Republic. Rex then inducted clone troopers Echo and Fives into the 501st Legion.



Battle of Bothawui
Later in the war he along with Anakin Skywalker's fleet were to defend Bothawui from General Grievous's massive fleet. Anakin sent Rex and a brigade of AT-TEs on asteroids to ambush the Munificent frigates. Grievous had underestimated Anakin's tactics and fell into his trap. Grievous abandoned his fleet, escaping in his fighter. Anakin Skywalker went after him but his ship malfunctioned and he crashed into the asteroids. When he woke up, he realized that Rex had saved his life.

Mission to Skytop Station
Rex would also participate in the mission to Skytop Station. He along with a couple of Clone Troopers, Denal and Ahsoka were ordered to destroy the station by Anakin, while he would try find his astromech droid, R2. When they reached the Reactor Room, an alarm had already set off and a ray shielded door had been activated. Everyone relied on R3-S6 to open it, but before he could, droid forces ambushed them. Rex took them all out using droid grenades. Shortly after, though, they met General Grievous himself, who leaped and killed all of the clones except Denal and Rex, who eventually carried out the mission and escaped the station before it was too late.

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. Interesting enough, Rex's armor resembles the uniform of the ARC Troopers. It is not yet stated if he received any ARC training. When required, Rex could also be seen using jetpacks.

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

It is possible that Rex got his name from the pilot droid, RX-24 (commonly referred to as "Captain" Rex) from Disney's Star Tours.
