In the context of this book, yes, Rex is a true hero. I don't think I have ever seen an AI entity decide to go against its programming in quite this manner in any other book. In addition, it caused him pain but he fought the pain to do what he perceived as being right. I do think he was a device to move the plot forward and allow Sliver to accomplish things he wouldn't have otherwise. But isn't that the whole point of any character in any plot? To move the story forward?
