Colin Wallis was the leader of Brockton Bay's Protectorate.

Personality:

Until he developed a relationship with Dragon, he had no personal life. Any time not spent on his official duties was spent training or working on his equipment.

Description:

Armsmaster:

Armsmaster's costume consists of midnight-blue body armor with silver highlights and a visor that covers his eyes and nose. He wears a neatly trimmed beard.

Defiant:

[Coming Soon]

Powers:

Collin is a Tinker that specializes in miniaturization and efficiency. He fights with his halberd heads-up display that incorporates a combat style simulation and a lie detector, among other features.

Halberd:

Armasters' Tinker specialization has allowed him to miniaturize the technology he creates which he then outfits his Halberd with.

Immediately before Leviathan attacks, he creates a modification to his Halberd which uses nano-machines to cut through anything by destroying molecular bonds.

History:

Gestation:

After pumping Lung full of tranquilizers and welding a steel cage around him, Colin used his Halberd's grapling hook to climb the building and reach Skitter. He confirmed that she wasn't going to attack him before talking about what had happened that night as well as the consequences to her if she took the credit for taking Lung down. Skitter asked him to keep her involvement secret and they parted ways.

Colin then took Lung back to the PHQ for holding until the villian's trial by teleconference. As Skitter's bugs had injected Lung with a near-lethal dose of poisons that Lung couldn't regenerate while tranquilized, Armsmaster got in a lot of trouble. He lost command of his team for two days, had his halberd and power armor confiscated, and was interrogated.

Agitation:

Colin met with Skitter. He wanted her come back to the Protectorate Headquarters and tell them what she had learned about the Undersiders, but she wanted to continue so she could learn who was backing them. He quickly figured out that the reason she couldn't tell him what she had learned was because of Tattletale before warning her about what she was doing and telling her it was foolish. He finished by telling her that she had better tell him everything the next time they met and that he wouldn't codone her actions.

After the Undersiders robbed the Brockton Bay Central Bank, Armsmaster met with the Wards. He looked at the information that they were compling about the Undersiders before noting that Tattletale's section was nearly empty. He wanted Panecea to tell them what she had observed about the villain's powers, but the younger hero hadn't gotten her thoughts into order yet.

Tangle:

Colin was present alongside the rest of his team at the Forsberg Gallery when the Undersiders hit it. He disabled the containment foam sprayer that Skitter had acquired with an electromagnetic pulse before doing the same to Grue's and Tattletale's. He ordered Bitch to call off her dog before explaining that he had studied the Undersiders' powers. Telling them that it was over, he then used his halberd to kill all of Skitter's insects within a fifteen foot range before demanding that they surrender.

After Tattletale figured out what he was doing and that he has set things up, he pointed his weapon at her and took her down. He convinced Grue to drop his darkness and for Skitter to get rid of her bugs. He then told Miss Millita to use a less lethal weapon before moving over to Skitter before she brought her bugs down on him. He attempted to use his halberd to kill them again, but she grabbed onto the pole and got in the way.

After Grue blanketed the room in darkness, he tried to kill Skitter's bugs again but it didn't work. He clawed at the bugs around his mouth and nose, headed to the opposite side of the darkness cloud, killed Skitter's bugs, and moved on to deal with Bitch's charging dogs.

...

After Leviathan's attack on Brockton Bay, he was silently placed under house arrest at the PRT Headquarters for breaking the truce twice. He had arranged the death of villains to give himself a one-on-one shot against the Endbringer and then outing Taylor as a reverse mole.

After he was locked up for breaking the Endbringer truce, the Slaughterhouse Nine tried to recruit him to their gang of murderers. Instead, with Dragon's help, he broke out of house arrest, rebuilt his body with cybernetics, and under the name "Defiant" fought alongside her to bring the Nine to justice.

He, Dragon, and the Brockton Bay Wards later try capturing Taylor when she visits Arcadia High, outing her in the process.

When PRT Director Tagg and Alexandria, Defiant and Dragon move Taylor from the PRT HQ in Brockton Bay and convince her to become a hero.

During the Golden Morning, Defiant is the one to activate the Tinker device that finally kills Scion.
