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]] [[Arvann Stern|Stern]] of the [[Grey Knights]].{{Fn|1}}
During the actions on [[Vraks]], Lord Rex personally banished the [[Greater Daemon]] [[An'ggrath]] and it was due to his leadership that the world was brought back into the Imperial fold. Although the war was won, the planet was forever tainted by the influences of [[Khorne]] and [[Nurgle]] and so Hector Rex placed the world under Malleus quarantine, much to the further displeasure of the [[Ordo Hereticus]].{{Fn|1}}
