Rex grew up in the bleak fortress city of Kenabres. He grew up in the outer Gate District with his parents and four siblings of which he was the youngest. His oldest brother had been killed during the fourth crusade as a soldier in the service of Kenabres. Rex was proud that his brother died a hero. His sacrifice along with his fellow crusader brothers allowed Kenabres to survive another day.

Rex was determined to join the crusaders once he became of age, however he was told by recruiters that because of his lack of raw strength, he would not be able to join. They advised him to serve the cause in another capacity such as a servant, cook or a quartermaster. None of these occupations however were likely to find any glory for the young Rex.

An undeterred Rex trained on his own, never giving up his dream to join the crusaders. However time after time he was turned away. It was then Rex came up with a plan to show the recruiters just how brave and resourceful we was. He devised a plan to sneak out of the city, under the cover of night and reconnoiter an enemy camp undetected to gather vital intelligence. He would then return to the city and present his findings to the crusaders. With such valuable information, Rex was sure he would be accepted with open arms.

Rex's plan did not turn out as he expected. Once outside the safety of the city, Rex was set upon by a band of cultists. After a brief struggle, Rex was captured and drug back to their camp for an integration and worse horrors. However fate intervened for the young Rex, just as the cultists were ready to start the interrogation, a young woman appeared amongst the cultists. She quickly barked orders at them and a few minutes later Rex was untied. The woman told the cultists names he did not recognize and that he was under their protection. The cultists bowed in supplication to the mysterious woman and quickly left camp. The woman then gave Rex a mischievous grin and told him they should be on their way back to the city. After a few miles with the city walls in sight, she stopped and clasped he pendant that Rex had not noticed before. It was the symbol of the goddess Desna. She told Rex that it was time for he r take her leave, but told him to fear not, a patrol would be by soon to escort him back to the city. Before she left, she handed him a small mahogany box and told Rex to take it, learn its ways, and fulfill his destiny.

Later that day back in the safely back in his home, Rex opened the box. The box contained several small lead balls, a bag of black powder, a thick leather bound tome, and a strange arcane device. Rex had no idea what the device or the items were used for. He quickly read through the manual and learned that the strange device was called a pistol and using a substance called gunpowder the device would discharge one of the lead balls. The wounds it could cause were as deadly as any sword. Finally Rex had a weapon that would make him equal to any swordsman or bowman. Within a few months Rex had mastered the training exercises in the book. He was ready to join the crusade. Again he presented himself and his new arcane device to the recruiters. Rex found disappointment again, as the recruiters laughed at his “toy” and told him to return to his home.

Dejected Rex returned home, not sure what the future holds for him.

Rex is an easy going sort on most things. However he does have a strong drive to be a hero. He is willing to take risks, even fool hardy ones. After all one doesn't become a hero by doing nothing. His older brother died a hero, he would like nothing more than to emulate him, preferably minus the dying part.

Rex is a bit on the tall side and a bit on the skinny side. His skinniness is more due to the lack of food in the City than anything else. He is rather plain all around, his hair is a sandy blonde and brown eyes. Rex is certainly not one to stand out in a crowd.

His clothes are normal attire for below middle class social standing. He has managed to afford a set of tan and well worn second hand set of leather armor. His only true valuable equipment his is mysterious arcane device (gun), which he goes to lengths to conceal, as not to draw unwanted attention. He openly wears a club and throwing axe hung on his belt.
