Armsmaster was featured in photoshoots of the "core group of the top [[Protectorate]] members". He had his own action figures.<ref>Brockton Bay's team was officially ‘The Protectorate East-North-East', and were headquartered in the floating, forcefield-shrouded island that you could see from the Boardwalk.  This guy, Armsmaster, was the guy in charge of the local team.  When the core group of the top Protectorate members from around Canada and the States assembled in that classic ‘v' formation for the photo shoots, Armsmaster was one of the guys in the wings.  This was a guy who had his own action figures.  Poseable Armsmaster with interchangeable Halberd parts. - [[Gestation 1.6]]</ref> He appeared on magazine covers and did interviews on TV, so you could find almost anything about Armsmaster through various media, short of his secret identity. [[Taylor Hebert]] compared him to Michael Jordan and referred to him as "one of the top heroes".<ref name="1.6" /><ref name="SBWoh">Parahumans IRC said:<br/>Wildbow: Armsmaster appears in the posters and such of the top Protectorate heroes.<br/>Wildbow:When they do the image of everyone standing in a 'v' formation<br/>Parahumans IRC said:<br/>Wildbow: Nah. Legend in front, Alex and Eidolon to the left and right, respectively. Then Myrddin, Chev, Cinereal, Narwhal, Rime, Exalt, Armsmaster, Dragon suit silhouette in the background, wings echoing the wings of the PRT logo over their heads. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/21173580/ IRC conversation archived on Spacebattles]</ref>

Armsmaster is mentioned as being under 'retirement' and presumably the public thinks this.<ref>[[Interlude 18.z]]</ref> He was allowed to operate as Defiant; with full knowlege of the PRT establishment,<ref>[[Interlude 20.x]]</ref> by being under several severe prohibitions.<ref>[[Interlude 20.x]]</ref>
