During Chapter 9, he gives the party a Delta Vessel, his first find as a salvager, as thanks for everything they did for him.

Story arc
Right before the party embarks for Mor Ardain, Rhys steals Roc's Core Crystal from Rex. Pursued by them, he steals Pittman's ship and flees to Torigoth. The party later finds Rhys and his friend's hideout, Umon's Shipyard, where he summons four Latollo Puffots to attack the party. After the party defeats the monsters, he gives back Roc's Core Crystal to Rex and then explains his group's circumstances as orphans from Cordell Village, which was destroyed by bandits. After the party deals with the bandits, Rex brings Rhys and his friends back to Argentum with the intent of making them salvagers to repay their debt, with the help of Pittman and Garram.
