===History===
5000 years ago, both Rex and Roman were poor kids who had nothing and had to steal in order to survive. One day, [[Ix Quic Ish Kiq Goodwin|a woman]] found them and adopted them as her brothers, giving them names - Roman (Rudger in the Japanese version) and Rex Goodwin.<ref name="d 50">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|50|ref}}</ref>
One day Ish was chosen to take part in the Festival of Duality but she did not return. Asking the high priests about what happened, they explain to the brothers that Ish wanted both of them to be Duel Priests. Rex is upset over what happened to Ish but Roman reminds him that Ish once told him that the one who awakens the Ultimate God will be granted one wish. Realizing that they can revive Ish if they win the ritual both Rex and Roman begin to formulate a plan. Many years later Rex and Roman have grown since then and are now the [[Duel Priest]]s of the northern and southern corridors. Beginning their plan the brothers trick the next Duel Priestess to lose on purpose in order to awaken the Ultimate God. Rex headed to the [[Aerial Fortress Seibal]] first with Roman following after. However Roman finds his brother and a revived Ish both Dueling each other and both under the influence of shadow miasma. Rex gains the upper hand and stabs Ish along with Roman who jumped in the way. <ref name="d 51">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|51|ref}}</ref> ==Current=Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's===
Goodwin still maintains his role as Director of Security, as well as having both [[Lazar (manga)|Lazar]] and [[Mina Simington|Mina]] still as his subordinates. In this version, Jack is his son although it is later revealed that he adopted Jack. He later would develop the [[D1 Grand Prix|D1GP]] tournament to find the Emperor of Turbo Duels but as he reveals to [[Yusei Fudo (manga)|Yusei Fudo]], the real reason for the tournament is to find people that can wield the power of the [[Duel Dragon]]s. He appears as a hologram to welcome and instruct the various contestants in his D1GP.
Goodwin's plan is to defeat the [[Skeleton Knight]], who, according to him, will make the world be covered by chaos if he wins. In order to do so, Goodwin searches for people who can hold the [[Duel Dragon]] cards and fight alongside him.<ref name="d 26">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|26|ref}}</ref> The dispute between Goodwin and Skeleton Knight seems to involve the Resurrection of an "Ultimate God", however, no details were revealed so far.<ref name="d 34">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|34|ref}}</ref>
Goodwin's first plan to find a holder was creating his [[V.S.S.L.|Facility]], which only held under age prisoners. There, he performed tests and monitored the children to find a holder for the Duel Dragon. After [[Jack Atlas (manga)|Jack Atlas]] and [[Kalin Kessler (manga)|Kalin Kessler]] Dueled, Jack called his attention, and upon his win, Goodwin gave him the "[[Jeweled Red Dragon Archfiend (manga)|Jeweled Red Dragon Archfiend]]" card.<ref name="d 31">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|31|ref}}</ref>
For his next plan, Goodwin sent [[Jack Atlas (manga)|Jack Atlas]] to [[Satellite]] and began his plans for the [[D1 Grand Prix]], which he organizes and sponsors.<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|4|ref}}</ref> He had invitations sent out to [[Turbo Duel]]ists who were looking for rematches with Jack.<ref name="d 9">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|9|ref}}</ref>
As the boat to Satellite takes the remaining contestants to the second stage of the D1GP. Rex approaches Yusei on the deck and tells him the real reason for hosting the D1GP. Goodwin asks Yusei to help him stop the [[Skeleton Knight]] from taking over the world. While Yusei admits that he can't trust Goodwin, he will cooperate with him to gain a Duel Dragon card to save his friend [[Sect Ijuin]].<ref name="d 26">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|26|ref}}</ref>
In his duel Duel with Yusei, [[Crow Hogan (manga)|Crow Hogan]] reveals that Goodwin talked to him and told him everything that he just told Yusei.<ref name="d 28">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|28|ref}}</ref>
During the second stage of the tournament, part of Rex's plans are revealed, showing that his goal is to revive and control the "[[Ultimate God]]".<ref name="d 34">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|34|ref}}</ref>
He then appears again preparing for the battle against the Skeleton Knight with [[Akiza Izinski (manga)|Akiza Izinski]] as the "Duel Priestess" under his control.<ref name="d 39">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|39|ref}}</ref> Then, Akiza and the Skeleton Knight's pawn, [[Sect Ijuin]], begin a [[Duel]].<ref name="d 40">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|40|ref}}</ref>
After Sect defeats Akiza, A solar eclipse appears and a beam of light shines down from the Aerial Fortress Seibal. Goodwin enters the light and tells Yusei and Jack to come after him if they wish to stop his plans.<ref name="d 42">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|42|ref}}</ref>
Encountering his son at the Corridor of the Southern Sky, Goodwin begins a Duel to see if either of them will become the King of Sky's Lock.<ref name="d 45">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|45|ref}}</ref> At first Jack takes the lead by using his "[[Jeweled Red Dragon Archfiend (manga)|Jeweled Red Dragon Archfiend]] to destroy his monsters, Goodwin counters by using effect of "[[Celestial Conquering Dragon - Drago Ascension (manga)|Celestial Conquering Dragon - Drago Ascension]]" to turn the tables on him.<ref name="d 46">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|46|ref}}</ref>
Despite Jack's attempts to stop Rex from Synchro Summoning "Drago Ascension", Goodwin manages to raise his dragon's attack points to 12,000 points.<ref name="d 47">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|47|ref}}</ref> However despite the odds Jack manages to overcome Goodwin's monster and forces the Duel into a [[DRAW]] with both Duelists knocked out of the fortress. Goodwin becomes shocked that he lost and couldn't fulfill his plan.<ref name="d 48">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|48|ref}}</ref>
Goodwin reappears after the Duel between Sect and Yusei has been concluded. This surprises Jack and everyone else as they believed he died in his Duel with Jack. Goodwin reveals that everything that's happened was apart of his plan to revive the Ultimate God. Though Sect protests that both him and Yusei just sealed away the Ultimate God, Goodwin reveals the God's miasma continues to live on within him. Due to Yusei's victory over Sect in their Duel, the Ultimate God's seal weakened to the point where its at its easiest to control. Goodwin proceeds to chant an ancient language that both Yusei and Akiza recognize as Diak. Goodwin regains the remaining miasma from the Ultimate God and declares himself to be a God.<ref name="d 58">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|58|ref}}</ref>
He then takes out a blank card and absorb the energy from the Duelists and their decks from both the fortress
and the Duel gate. Only he finds that Yusei is unaffected by his energy drain and believes that this is due to him being the King Who Unlocks. When Yusei challenges Goodwin to a Duel the latter accepts believing that once he absorbs Yusei his resurrection will truly be complete.<ref name="d 58">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|58|ref}}</ref>
