Rex was a 15-year-old salvager from Letheria who lived on a titan named [[Azurda]] or "Gramps" until a fated meeting with the Aegis [[Pyra]] while on a salvaging mission with Jin, Malos, [[Nia]], and Dromarch. After touching Pyra's sword, Jin kills Rex by impaling him in the heart, and reveals that he leads an organization known as Torna. Rex wakes up in a memory of Elysium and meets Pyra, who requests him to take her to the real Elysium in exchange for bringing him back to life. Immediately after being revived, Rex and Malos, Torna's second-in-command as well as another Aegis, battle each other until Azurda rescues Rex and Pyra, as well as Nia and Dromarch, who defect to Rex's side. After that, they begin to travel around Alrest on their journey to reach Elysium. During these adventures, Rex makes new allies and awakens Pyra's alter-ego [[Mythra]], and together they fulfill the promise Rex made to Pyra while fighting off Torna.
Rex was a 15-year-old salvager from Letheria who lived on a titan named [[Azurda]], which he refers to as gramps "Gramps." One of the salvaging mission Rex agrees to do is joining a team alongside Jin, Malos, [[Nia]], and Dromarch and excavating the Ancient Ship, which Addam sunk underneath the Cloud Sea 500 years prior to protect [[Mythra]] from reawakening and losing control. During the mission, Rex accidentally touches the core crystal of the Aegis and is promptly stabbed through the heart by Jin, who reveals himself to be the antagonist of the game and leads an organization known as Torna. Just before dying, Rex's mind is transported to a memory of Elysium and meets [[Pyra]], who requests him to take her to the real Elysium in exchange for bringing him back to life. Rex agrees and becomes a Driver, which are warriors that can wield Blades like Pyra. With their life forces combined, Rex is ressurected to Jin's surprise. Rex and Malos, Torna's second-in-command as well as another Aegis, battle each other until Azurda rescues Rex and Pyra, as well as Nia and Dromarch, who defect to Rex's side.
 
The party narrowly escape Torna, but Azurda is severely injured and is forced to revert to his larval form, which is small enough to fit in the compartments of Rex's clothes. While on this brief down time, Rex promises to Pyra that he will protect her and the Aegis at all costs. After that, the party begins to travel around Alrest on their journey to reach Elysium. During these adventures, Rex makes makes new allies in the form of other Blades and Drivers that share the goals of the party.
 
One of these adventures is a battle with Obrona, a secondary antagonist, who completely overwhelms and injures the party. In one final effort, Rex impales himself on the scythes of Roc, another party member, which forcefully awakens Pyra's alter-ego [[Mythra]]. This effort works, and Mythra fends of Obrona, then immediately scolds Rex for pulling that stunt. After this fight, Pyra and Mythra can now swap places during battles, allowing more combat potential for Rex.
 
The party eventually confronts Jin on a mission to save Pyra, who was previously separated from Rex. The party was entirely defeated and the Aegis sword was broken during the fight. Just before Jin takes Pyra away, he tells Rex that he is responsible for the pain Pyra and Mythra posses. After Rex is forced to retreat, he loses his confidence and contemplates giving up on his mission. However, he learns that a third Aegis exists, and Azurda informs the party that he knows the location. Once the third Aegis is found, the spirit of Addam appears and says that Rex is worthy of being the Driver of Aegis, even though Rex was unable to obtain. Still, Rex is able to locate Pyra and the party goes to save her.
 
After finding the Aegis, the confront Jin and Malos, who had absorbed the memory of Pyra to regain his powers. Rex fights most of this battle without the Aegis because he still doesn't have one. During the fight, Pyra and Mythra telepathically communicate with Rex and say that he should flee and leave them to die. Rex refuses, assuring them that he is still their protector and will take them to Elysium. This sheer amount of willpower activates the power of the Master Driver, merging Pyra and Mythra together to form Pneuma, the ultimate form of the Aegis. Rex also gets a new uniform to match Pneuma. Rex and Pneuma overpower Jin, but Malos still puts up a fight. The battle and other events at the same time lead to the destruction of the world tree, which would reset the universe. Pneuma instructs Rex on how to save the day, but tricks them into fleeing the scene. Pneuma stays behind to sacrifice herself and dies in an explosion. Rex realizes what was happening and pleaded to stay by her side, but is convinced that his other friends are more important and says goodbye one last time before running away. However, after the world was reborn, the core crystal of Aegis starts glowing. Pyra and Mythra than appear in different bodies, but it is left ambiguous if they retained their memories.
