Rafael Salazar's father is an honorable priest while his mother works in funeral business. He is the only child of his family, born in Argentina, Buenos Aires during the cold winter. Whatever his background is, no one knows the exact reason why he has Kinemortophobia (the fear of the undead). Despite his high intelligence and spirituality, Rafael ridiculously believes too much of superstitious beliefs, ghost, vampires and zombies, etc.

When he was a little boy, he dreamt to be an exorcist or paranormal detective like Constantine and Van Helsing. When he was older he watched too many horror movies that strengthen his phobia. His parents' attempt to distract him with his involvement in science project was futile. Rafel had become obsessed in creating machines and weapons to protect himself from his paranoia. His interest in weaponry had brought him in the Nanite project where he quickly became one of the leading scientists. His skills on designing nano robots that can form giant weapons were the reason why he was important in that project.

He rarely socialized, due to his mild mental instability. He suffered a minor case of bipolar or it was because he drank too much dose of caffeine (like most Argentineans, he loved Espresso). In most of the time he was a calm man, in some unfortunate times he often became destructive such as pointing his heavy techno gun towards a suspicious colleague. His two closest friends were Dr. Gabriel Rylander (although arguably because of his name) and Violeta who will eventually become his wife.

Here comes the King – How Rex got his name

It's been more than a decade when Doctor Gabriel Rylander heard his friends' wonderful news about the Salazar couple. They had travelled the world with their son, César Salazar. The boy had grown into a bright kid. He inherited both of his parents' intelligence but (sadly) that included his mother's quirkiness.

He visited them often when they crossing by during their travels for Nanites research. One day, they held a small personal meeting, and Rylander was invited. He was informed with shocking news.

"AGAIN?" Rylander gasped.

"Yes, Gabe...Violeta is expecting again. I had that kind of reaction when Violeta told me."

"This..." Rylander stammered, "This is amazing! I mean...whoa... It's more than ten years and I didn't know you still..."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Rafael narrowed his brown eyes.

"I'm just saying. I'd never thought after long years, you have another child!"

"I'd hear you, Gabe." Suddenly Rafael whispered to Rylander's ear, "I even use the DNA test to confirm..."

"RAFAEL!" Rylander gasped and quickly the Argentinean man hushed his friend immediately. He hissed at the Argentinean, "You can't be serious."

"Well, it's so...unexpected. But don't worry, Gabe. Science proved that the baby is mine."

"Oh, for god's sake. What makes you this paranoid? Violeta could never do such a thing!"

"...there is one man."

Rylander sighed heavily, "Rafael, you can't be serious. It's him, isn't it?"

"I am serious, Gabe…es un cabrón..."

"He had a name you know? Dr. Van Kli-"

"He's a vampire who has hots for my wife!"

"He's not a vampire. He's one of our colleagues, and he's a specialist scientist for ecology."

"The third rate lab hack? I didn't remember his importance in our project. I thought he was too busy licking our sponsors' boots. I'm telling you, Gabe. He's a REAL Dracula. He wore old clothes, his skin was so pale, his fangs were a little bit longer, and I think he's allergic to garlic." Rafael declared his suspicion while he gulped his drink.

"Rafael, your wild imagination astounded me..." Gabe Rylander said it sarcastically. He then patted his Hispanic man's shoulder, "Violeta's heart is only for you...you have nothing to fear."

"I know, Gabe." Rafael sighed, "I'm just so scared."

"Besides that man's not Hispanic. As long as there's no man who have Spanish accent in this place I don't think Violeta would interest." Rylander grinned.

The sarcastic remark from his colleague had made Rafael twitched more, "Haha...very funny, Gabe."

"Would it be a boy or a girl?"

"Since it's only three months, we're not sure..." Rafael shrugged and sipped his drink again.

Violeta returned to her eating time, she was taking simple nachos from the canteen. This was unlike her unusual food when she was pregnant with her first born.

"I'm glad Violeta had toned down her stubbornness." Rylander relaxed.

"Well, it's a good thing she went mature."

"Let's hope this baby would be a normal child, living in normal life."

"Uhm, Gabe."

Rylander twitched his eyes, realizing his mistake. He didn't believe it was true at first. But ever since he saw what had César become, he was paranoid. "I just said the jinx word again, didn't I?"

"Yes, you did."

As if it got any worse, Violeta was approaching them.

"Oh, boys!" Violeta called, she suddenly had a brilliant idea, "Since Gabe has come to visit. He should've heard my name ideas for my baby!"

...And again Rafael spat his drink right in front of Gabriel's face. Rylander wiped his face and muttered that old habits die hard

"I had a funny feeling that it'll be a boy again. So I'm saving some salad names again."

"Gabe..." Rafael whined. He was unaware that his friend was wiping his spit.

Violeta dismissed the men's stare so she continued, "I'm thinking he would be Coleslaw, Gado-gado or maybe Pico de gallo…Pico sounds cute."

"Gaaaaaaaaabbeeeeeeee..." Rafael's calling was more urging this time.

"... Or maybe my people's food, Taco! Taco Salazar!"

"GABE, DO SOMETHING!"

"I...uh...oh..." After finished cleaning his face, Gabriel Rylander was unsure how to answer. He looked to Rafael and then to Violeta like a ping pong competition. So, he called the Mexican woman, "Uhm...Violeta."

"Yes, Gabriel?" Violeta's tone went dark drastically, threatening all male in presence.

Gabe winced and pulled his collar nervously. He then proposed his idea, "Since...we already had a Caesar. Why don't we add a King instead?"

"...a...King?" Rafael's eyes widened. It seemed like a good idea.

"Oh, you know? A name meant 'King'. So what's the Spanish word for king?"

"Rey." Both of the Salazar couple answered.

"Ah, that's too common. Why don't we use the Latin version? His name is Rex, how's that sound? It seemed so modern."

Before Violeta protested, Rafael was already raising his thumbs up in euphoria and yelled, "REX SALAZAR, HE IS!"

The Mexican lady wasn't pleased, but since she named the first boy, it was reasonable that her husband named their second. So she just muttered, "Bummer..."

Rafael circled his arm to Rylander's neck, "Gabe, I owe you one."

"But what if she's a girl?" Violeta asked.

"We could always switch to Regina...or Caesarea." Rafael waved his wife's question. He was too enthusiastic with Gabe's idea.

"We should've named her Niçoise, Fiambre, Celery or even Pasta!"

"Violeta, I will not let you humiliate our child again!"

The Mexican lady glared at her husband, "Are you objecting me?"

"Have I told you that I love you, bonita?" suddenly Rafael lost his guts.

"That look won't work, Rafael."

"F-fine! You can name the baby…but only if she's a girl!" Rafael gathered his courage as he returned to Gabriel.

Without bothering to answer Rylander's question, Rafael had made a cross sign as he prayed quickly.

"Mi Dios... I'm not a sexist, but I wish my baby is a boy to save him from humility."

"Rafe, you're being paranoid again."

"Easy for you to say that. You don't have a wife who's obsessed with Salad!"

"All I'm saying if the baby's gender will be determined by your chromosome."

"Are you doubting God's miracle?" Rafael gasped.

"Actually, I'm a Presbyterian." Rylander interrupted, "What I meant, that you can't blame God if your baby's a girl."

Annoyed by Rylander's interruption, suddenly Rafael raised a giant gun which was as tall as his own height.

Startled by his Hispanic friend's reaction, Gabriel asked, "Rafe? What are you doing?"

"Maybe God will make a miracle for me once I make an offering."

Rylander's panic had risen. His eyes were wary to the giant gun, "Offering? Pray tell what are you going to do with that gun?"

"Exorcising that vampire." Without explaining more Rafael ran outside.

"WAIT! Killing our colleague won't solve any problem!" Rylander ran after the Argentinean.

Because Rafael had mercy upon his colleague (or more likely Gabriel forced him to stop), God had granted his wish. Few months later the baby was born, it was a boy. Thus Rex Salazar was lucky to be born as a male.

"Es un cabrón" = He's a bastard (or it could be 'asshole' since Spanish curse could be meaner than English - based on my Hispanic's friend's confession).
