Revision 5

RE-X is the protagonist and playable character of GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT. He is an ace pilot who takes the controls of the high-mobility mobile suit Gundam Helix in humanity's fight against a powerful unknown threat. In Japanese-language materials, RE-X's name is written as Reks (レクス).

Role

RE-X embodies the game's call to become the pilot you were born to be. He fights alongside a rag-tag crew of unsung soldiers, and the cinematic story follows his journey through the conflict. The development team has framed RE-X as a character the player can put themselves in the position of, experiencing the game through his eyes.

Official materials put his role plainly: he is the pilot of Gundam Helix and the protagonist of the story, and he boards the Gundam to confront the threats humanity faces directly. He is shown in key artwork as a young man in a pale flight suit, carrying his helmet.

Companion

RE-X is partnered with Vee, a small, round support robot. Vee is a Haro, the kind of companion robot that has long accompanied pilots throughout the Gundam series, and travels with RE-X on his missions. The story also involves Sofia, a mysterious heroine who keeps watch over RE-X's actions. For the wider cast, see The Crew.
