Armsmaster

Armsmaster (aka Colin Wallis) is a member of Protectorate. He is a Tinker specializing in miniaturisation and efficiency. While in general he produces viable devices, they`re "a pain" to reverse-engineer or reproduce, according to Dragon. Armsmaster is obsessed with efficiency and is constantly on the lookout for methods to increase his own, to the point where he has to be periodically reminded to maintain the necessary minimums of sleep.

He is nominally in charge of Wards, although in practice had been known to rope Miss Militia into doing related paperwork routinely, deeming it inefficient use of his time. This disinterest likely contributed to Shadow Stalker getting away with far more then her probation should`ve tolerated prior to the events of the story.

Dragon appears to be romantically interested in Armsmaster - a situation which he does not acknowledge. It`s commonly believed that his lack of acknowledgment stems from his lack of comprehension that it is a romantic interest, as opposed to simply a productive work relationship.

Initially, Armsmaster is genuinely disturbed by the appearance of Family, a situation exacerbated by an incident between him, Dragon, Dragon`s submarine probe and Umihebi. Given the information he posesses at that point, his general attitude towards Family is "Do not piss off, we don`t know the extents of what they can do, but what we already know is terrifying as is."

Later on, after being contacted by Leet about the EDM he overcomes his wariness due to a potential the material in question may have in combat with Endbringers. After receiving favorable welcome from Raptaur, he becomes a cautious supporter of Family, showing considerable and constant interest in their engineering projects.

At the current point of the story, Armsmaster considers Family to be allies and compatriots and accords them the level of respect close to that he shows towards the Dragon. While he is still less then enthused about more vivacious experiments Family may engage in, he is endlessly fascinated by the technological and fractal-dimensional artifacts they produce and has aspirations of including those in his own technology.
