Main characters
Rex Salazar
- Voice Actor: Daryl Sabara
Rex Salazar is a fifteen-year-old (sixteen in Season 3 due to six-month time skip) half-Argentinean, half-Mexican, human E.V.O born to a family of scientists. Unlike other E.V.O.s, Rex can control his nanites at will, allowing him to appear human and even cure other E.V.O.s of their mutations and use his nanites to create a variety of machines on his body and communicate with various technology as well as manipulate and control it to his will. Upon being injected with the specialized Omega Nanite, he developed the ability to create even stronger and more effective machinery, each possessing their own unique properties. He also became strong enough to cure animals of their tainted nanites, and detect the presence of the four-armed, portal-creating E.V.O. Breach.
His only love interest is a fellow human-looking E.V.O. named Circe, who originally worked for his archenemy, but ultimately defeated when she came to realize that Van Kleiss only desired Rex "alive" only in body and not in mind. About six months into the future, Rex is working against Providence's new boss, the power-mad Black Knight, to stop her and the Consortium from attaining infinite and boundless godhood from five special nanites called "Meta Nanites" or "Master-Control Nanites" which only he alone could fully control in their purest state.
Agent Six

Agent Six is a senior Providence agent and Rex's handler. His name came from the fact that he is the sixth most dangerous person in the planet.

As noted, Six likes to continually wear the same suit. It was shown that Six had brown eyes. He came to fall for Dr. Rebecca Holiday, confessing his feelings for her in "A Family Holiday" and seemed to regain them regardless losing six years of his memory in "Six Minus Six."

She later met up with Rex during her very first mission as Van Kleiss' loyal subordinate in Episode 7 "Leader of the Pack" where she had hesitantly knocked Rex unconscious and had him imprisoned, albeit with a sad expression on her face for resorting to hurt him to help her master. She was the only one who showed any leniency towards Rex, and looked away from him in disappointment as she left with the Pack.
A few weeks after the unexpected demise of Van Kleiss, in Episode 15 "What Lies Beneath", Circe had called Rex for his help in dealing with a crumbling Abysus due to her master's strong link with the unstable nanites being lost. When Rex learned that it was all for returning Van Kleiss to life, she had tried to reassure Rex that she needed him as much she needed Van Kleiss. She was concerned for Rex's safety when he rashly attempted to deal with the source head on, as it was causing him great pain. As she was about to be swept away the unstable nanites goop, she held onto Rex with tears of love in her eyes. After regaining consciousness in Rex's arms, she said that she was happy to see him. Thanking Rex for saving her life, she still refused to leave Van Kleiss, no matter how deeply she cared for Rex as it keeps things interesting.
