Inquisitor Lord Rex is the '''Lord Proctor''' of the [[Scarus]] Conclave during the [[Siege of Vraks]]. A highly regarded hero in his time, he bore the title ''Auditorii Imperator'', being one of the few souls who has been admitted into the presence of the [[Emperor]]. In his early years, because of his [[psychic]] abilities he was inducted into the [[Adeptus Astra Telepathica]], where he was noted to have been much more able than his fellow students. Thus he was separated from them to undergo genetic augmentation, which accounts for his ''"massive physique"''; following this he was handed over to the [[Inquisition]] for apprenticeship. It was during the Rebellion on [[Vraks]] that Rex uncovered a prophecy via the [[Emperor's Tarot]] that the planet could potentially fall and become a [[Daemon World]]. To avoid this outcome, Rex lobbied the entire Scarus conclave to obtain direct control over the war on [[Vraks]] and to induct the entire 88th [[Regiment]] of the [[Death Korps of Krieg]] into his own [[Inquisitorial retinue|retinue]].{{Fn|1}}
Although it was already within an Inquisitor Lord's mandate to do so, Lord Hector Rex was of a keen political mind, and did not want unwanted interference from his own enemies within the Inquisition, and would have preferred a united consensus against [[chaos]]. Hector Rex's proposal to the conclave was opposed by members of the [[Ordo Hereticus]] who saw the war as within their jurisdiction, having been incited by the [[Apostate Cardinal]] [[Xaphan]] and thus a Hereticus matter. Rex did narrowly obtain the majority consensus of the conclave and so he took to war himself alongside [[Grey Knights Brother-Captain|Captain]] [[Stern]] of the [[Grey Knights]].{{Fn|1}}

It bears many icons and [[purity seal]]s common to the Inquisition vehicles, and the [[Crux Terminatus]] badge. Note the vehicle is not currently as it is being used for ceremonial duties."''{{Fn|2}}*The text beneath the Valkyrie image says: "Valkyrie in the service of Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Hector Rex.
