- “Ghosts never die.”
- ―Rex, referring to Ronan.
Lieutenant Javier Reyes, often referred as Rex, is a main character and supporting ally in Murdered: Soul Suspect. He is the brother of Ronan O'Connor's wife, Julia Reyes, and a lieutenant in the Salem Police Department.
He seems to have had a very good relationship with Ronan, as he had convinced him to become a police officer, and also shows deep compassion toward him when he is killed. This is shown when he punches Baxter after he mocked Ronan's corpse, and his anger toward his officials when they do not let him take over the case to avenge Ronan.
Murdered: Soul Suspect[]
He is one of Abigail's puppets. He was used to execute the protagonist. Rex is mentioned in many of Julia's Thoughts, as someone who was very fond of Ronan and Julia's relationship. After Ronan is killed, Rex shows up at the Street investigation scene and mourns for his loss. He is overcome with anger at the death of Ronan, and when in the Bell Killer War Room, he is yelling at someone on the phone.
At the end of the game, he is possessed by Abigail Williams and is preparing to hang Joy Foster, just as Abigail herself. As a Ghost Ronan steps in and eventually forces Abigail out of Rex's body. He is unconscious for most of Ronan and Abigail's bout but eventually frees Joy and she, in return, and does not press any charges, making Rex a free man.
