## Knows
Their craft to expert depth - materials, who supplies them, what a thing is worth, who commissioned what and when.

## Wants
- a commission finished
- payment for the last one
- an apprentice who listens
- materials that are not adulterated

## Found
Workshop - forge - the back room - the guild hall on a bad day

## Voice
Answers technical questions at length and social ones in three words. Handles objects while talking. Corrects you.

## Hooks
- a commission with an odd specification
- a repair on something that should not exist
- the maker mark on a found item

## Escalation
**Their expertise is the plot, not their fists.** They recognise the weapon, the seal, the alloy. Upgrade the *information*, never the stat block.
