Why Rexar Fang Is the Softest Soul-Starved Executioner You'll Ever Love
Why Rexar Fang Is the Softest Soul-Starved Executioner You'll Ever Love
Let’s get this out of the way: Rexar Fang could kill you.
But he’d feel really bad about it.
In the House of Teeth series, few characters have inspired as much emotional damage and feral devotion as Rexar Fang—the smoke-veined, fireborn heir of Hiraeth’s most infamous soul-eating dynasty. He’s everything dark fantasy readers crave: dangerous, loyal, emotionally constipated... and secretly soft in a way that hurts.
So if you’ve been wondering whether to trust the guy with ember-ringed eyes and a family crest soaked in blood, here’s why you absolutely should (and why you’ll fall in love with him along the way).
1. He’s Morally Gray—But Ethically Heartbroken
Rexar is trained to be a weapon. A Fang. An enforcer. His family doesn't ask for affection—they demand obedience. But even while bound by ritual and legacy, Rexar questions everything. Every soul he’s ordered to take weighs on him. Every ounce of fire he wields is tempered by restraint.
What makes him compelling isn’t that he’s ruthless—it’s that he hates how easily he could be. His moral compass may wobble, but it always tilts toward love, protection, and sacrifice.
2. His Loyalty Will Absolutely Destroy You (In a Good Way)
Rexar doesn’t just protect the people he loves. He burns for them.
Whether it's Meeko’s gentle presence, Remi’s unraveling silence, or Kriia’s fierce independence, Rexar shows up. Again and again. Even when it costs him his freedom, his title, his identity—himself.
And the best part? He doesn’t ask for recognition. He just wants them safe.
If you’ve ever cried over the “I’ll carry your burdens if it breaks me” trope, Rexar’s got you. And he will carry you straight into emotional ruin.
3. He Calls Kriia “Babygirl” Like a Promise
There’s a reason the fandom exploded over that scene in Book 4. You know the one—the dance, the lap, the hands clenched on silk, the soft threat of breaking composure in front of a crowd.
But beyond the tension and teasing, there’s a truth that makes your chest ache:
He sees Kriia. All of her.
Not just the dancer. Not just the survivor. The person. And every “babygirl” he drops is less about dominance and more about reverence. He says it like he can’t believe she’s real.
And if that doesn’t destroy you, check your pulse.
4. He’s the Quiet Heartbeat of a Found Family
Rexar doesn’t lead the found family. He anchors it.
He’s not loud about his love. He won’t give long speeches or dramatic declarations. But he’ll sit with you in silence. He’ll bleed beside you. He’ll say, “We’re not doing this without her,” and mean it with every thread of his soul.
Whether it’s holding Remi when he breaks, giving Meeko space to speak truth, or watching Kriia walk away (and trusting she’ll come back), Rexar proves that presence is a kind of love too.
5. He’s Soul-Starved—But Still Chooses Love
Let’s talk literal hunger.
The Fang line survives on stolen Anima. Every bite feeds their power—but risks their humanity. Rexar is starved by design. The world expects him to give in. To consume. To become like the worst of his bloodline.
But he doesn’t.
He fights it.
Every. Single. Day.
And when he chooses love over hunger? When he touches someone not to take, but to comfort? That’s what makes him soft. Not in weakness—but in strength.
So Why Will You Love Him?
Because he’s the kind of man who offers his fire like a blanket.
Because he carries everyone’s burdens without letting them know they’re heavy.
Because in a world full of monsters, he chooses to be kind.
And because deep down, he’s just a boy who wants to be loved without burning the people who hold him.
