'''Hector Rex''' is an [[Inquisitor Lord]] of the [[Ordo Malleus]].{{Fn|1}}
===Biography===
Inquisitor Lord Rex was 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}}
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}}
