Wess

Wess is an old man living in Tazmily Village and is Duster's father and master. He first appears in Chapter 1, being excluded from rescue parties due to his age. However, he later has a more major role in Chapter 2, sending his son out on a mission to retrieve the Egg of Light from Osohe Castle.

In Mother 3
Wess is known for snapping at his son a lot, calling him a "moron" frequently. He also appears to be very forgetful or unsure, following a lot of his statements up with "or so I remember" or some variant. However, this could be also due to his old age. When Wess is traveling with Duster in Chapter 2, he can use various techniques and attacks, attacking with his homemade Thunder Bombs or using a powerful secret thief technique.

In Chapter 1, he has a minor role, due to his exclusion from the search parties for Flint's family. However, he does appear later in the chapter when Flint needs to scale a cliff, suggesting to have him get Duster's help in scaling the cliff.

Later, in Chapter 2, he gives Duster an important task to do - retrieve an important object from Osohe Castle. However, when Duster brings back the Noble Spittoon instead, Wess is completely outraged and ends up smashing it. He later accompanies Duster back to the castle to get the real treasure, and stays with him for the rest of the chapter.

After the three-year jump in Chapter 4, he's shown to be living in the newly-built retirement home, which coincidentally is in the same location as his old home was.
