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.
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 [[Egg of Light|an important object]] from [[Osohe Castle]]. However, when Duster brings back the [[List of key items in Mother 3#Noble Spittoon|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.
Later, in [[Chapter 2]], he gives Duster an important task to do - retrieve [[Egg of Light|an important object]] from [[Osohe Castle]]. However, when Duster brings back the [[List of key items in Mother 3#Noble Spittoon|Noble Spittoon]] instead, Wess is completely outraged and ends up smashing it. Duster also brought back a pendant, however, which Wess believes it belongs to the princess of Osohe Castle. 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. When he was complaining about [[Fassad]] and the [[Pigmask Army]], he is put into a net by a [[Pigmask]]. Lucas sees this, and goes to the retirement home to see him. Lucas also tells him about the [[DCMC]] bassist that looks like Duster and he is asked to see if that really is his son.
Once they reach the dead end where the Nobile Spittoon is found, Wess performs the [[Osohe Dance]] to open the door, which he states to have taught Duster how to do it when he was younger. As they continue, the two find [[Kumatora]] caught in a bear trap, which upon freeing her, she joins to find the real treasure. At the end of the castle they find the real treasure, the Egg of Light. They get ambushed by the Pigmasks, so Kumatora hastily grabs the Egg. However, Wess forgot to mention he set traps around the Egg, suddenly a trap door opens and troops them into the flooded basement, where the [[Oh-So-Snake]] attacks. After beating it, they get washed away outside the castle. Wess and Kumatora are back in the village, but Duster and the Egg of Light are missing. Wess assumes Duster is having his "merry time" and threatens to discipline him when he returns, though Kumatora rebukes him saying Duster could be in real danger.
 
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. Wess attempts to stand against what [[Fassad]] and the [[Pigmask Army]] are doing to the village, however he is put into a net by a [[Pigmask]] and sent back home. Lucas sees this, and goes to the retirement home to see him. Lucas also tells him about the [[DCMC]] bassist that looks like Duster and he is asked to see if that really is his son.
 
Wess makes one final minor appearence in [[Chapter 8]], where he and many other residents of Tazmily Village meet on the 100th floor of the [[Empire Porky Building]].


It is evident that Wess's role as a non-controlled party member in the final version of Mother 3 is reduced from earlier versions of the game. Wess was shown as a playable party member in a screenshot for [[EarthBound 64]],<ref>[[:File:EB64 Battle Scene 01.jpg|Battle screenshot from EarthBound 64]]</ref> and even the GBA version of Mother 3 retains in its debug room an option to change Wess's level.<ref>[[:File:Wess debug level.png|Mother 3's debug room interface for editing characters' levels]]</ref>
