OH BOY does César have some stuff! Some may not be strong enough to be scars, but I included the information in case.
The thing to know is the Providence protocol in order of how to deal with an EVO threat: Cure, Contain, Kill. If Rex can't cure the EVO, then contain the EVO. If the EVO cannot be contained, then kill it.
The Lonely: THIS ENTIRE FEAR HAPPENED TO HIM. Parents died, brother has amnesia, got shot 5 years into the future without any support. No one to reach out to, no one to love/want him anymore, and then he himself off from society by working himself to death to save everyone. And then after Rex disappeared, Rex's found family left him behind to be the only one at Black Knight's Providence, working for the enemy to prevent an EVO Genocide.
The Hunt: Look up above. He was the only one standing between EVOs and Black Knight Providence from killing EVOs to maintain control because it was the cheapest option after Rex disappeared and removed curing as an option. And the anti-EVO militias that came to be in the United States became less popular ONLY after Rex showed up, then likely started becoming popular again after Rex disappeared for 6 months.
The Spiral: César is not afraid of madness or losing his grip on reality, but others see him as that way. He's been gaslit/seen as only a mad scientist and not a loving man who believes in family, too.
The Web: César is afraid FOR others. He had to create the control collars because when Black Knight took over providence, Cure was not an option (Rex was thrown into the future) and Contain was considered too expensive. So he created a 4th option instead of killing: Control. The new Providence Protocol became Confine, Constrain, and Control. César figured out that if he could turn EVOs into mind-controlled slaves, they'd be worth too much to kill, and BOY WAS HE RIGHT. A round up happened in at least Hong Kong if not elsewhere. César designed the collars to be temporary control (reversion immediately to normal upon them being turned off) and mellow those under the system to be slightly happy. Slightly happy = less likely to develop PTSD from memories encoding with traumatic emotions. He once had to fear Rex getting collared, but then Rex escaped. What he DID fear for himself was Black Knight, who was a Queen of Manipulation, but he also dodged that because he just went with her stuff as part of HIS plan that he pulled off. César likes spiders, though. They did nothing wrong!!
The Extinction: :) He lived for 8 months terrified that the world would end if he didn't do everything perfectly. Literally prevented the apocalypse where the Consortium (read: 5 super rich dudes) would take the Meta-Nanites ("The God Code") to rewrite the world/universe to their liking. Also uh the whole Nanite Event DID spread nanites across the globe through an explosion, which sometimes activate and turn people/animals/plants into mutants. This happened due to interference by a big bad (Van Kleiss) who caused the nanites to replicate when César and his parents only wanted to release a small number. They did that to release the meta-nanites into the atmosphere.
Generator Rex Spoilers EVERYWHERE
