Master armorer is a title held by a armorer who owns a armory. He has authority over common armorers and oversees the training of apprentices.[1]
Culture
Tyroshi master armorsmiths make intricate armor in fantastic shapes.[2]
History
Tobho Mott is a Qohorik master armorer who owns a shop at the top of the Street of Steel in King's Landing.[1] He is one of the few armorers who can work Valyrian steel,[3] taking Gendry, one of King Robert I Baratheon's unacknowledged bastards, as an apprentice after being paid double the customary fee by a stout brown-bearded man with a hooded cloak.[1]
Lords Jon Arryn and Stannis Baratheon called upon Tobho and Gendry during their investigation into Robert's children.[1]
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Lord Eddard Stark calls upon Tobho and Gendry during their investigation into Robert's children.[1]
A Clash of Kings
Gendry reveals to Arya Stark that he was ordered to join the Night's Watch by Master Mott.[4]
Salloreon, a master armorer, and Ironbelly, a master smith, are among the smiths of King's Landing approached by Tyrion Lannister to build his monstrous steel chain.[5] The armorer later joins the Antler Men, a group who conspire to aid Stannis Baratheon in taking King's Landing from King Joffrey I Baratheon, so Tyrion has them arrested,[6] and then has them flung over the walls of King's Landing by the three great trebuchets called the Three Whores during the Battle of the Blackwater.[7]
A Storm of Swords
At Lord Tywin Lannister's request, Tobho melts the late Lord Stark's Valyrian steel sword, Ice, to forge two new swords, which are given to King Joffrey I Baratheon, who names it Widow's Wail,[8] and to Ser Jaime Lannister, who names it Oathkeeper, which is then given to Brienne of Tarth.[9]

Quotes
Gendry: I'm a 'prentice smith, and one day might be I'll make a master armorer ... if I don't run off and lose my feet or get myself killed.
Arya: The next helm you make, put mule's ears on it in place of bull's horns![10]—Gendry and Arya Stark
My lord, this is crude work at best. There is no art to it. Suitable labor for common smiths, no doubt, for men who bend horseshoes and hammer out kettles, but I am a master armorer, as it please my lord. This is no work for me, nor my fellow masters. We make swords as sharp as song, armor such as a god might wear. Not this.[5]
