The Weapon Master is an Arkeyan who appeared in the console versions of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure.
Character Development
The design for Weapon Master arose from the concept of a living statue, and he went through many color variations and at some point still had his weapons. Later on, his design would inspire Golden Queen and Barbella.

Personality
The Weapon Master is wise and strong, but he reacts negatively when you say "no" to his question about going to the Quicksilver Vault and the Arkeyan Armory. He has great knowledge over the ancient Arkeyan civilization.
Story
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
The Arkeyan Weapon Master had laid dormant on an isolated island in the waters of the Ruins for 10,000 years and was presumed to be a statue by the inhabitants. After the Eternal Fire Source was restored, the ancient statue awakened to help the Skylanders retrieve the last components to rebuild the Core of Light: the Quicksilver and Eternal Magic Source, from Quicksilver Vault and Arkeyan Armory respectively.
Skylanders: Giants
The Weapon Master returns in Skylanders: Giants as a projection. His holographic presence is first encountered in the Forgotten Caverns area of the Secret Vault of Secrets, where he challenges the Skylanders to a game of Skystones.
In Autogyro Adventure, he presents another Skystones challenge and provides guidance inside the level's Undead Elemental Gate.
In the Lost City of Arkus, the hologram is initially seen as a recording at the chapter’s start, then reappears outside the Water elemental gate before transitioning into an interactive projection. Throughout the rest of the level, he acts as a guide, explaining various aspects of Arkeyan history and society. As the Skylanders unlock the Grand Imperial Palace, he ominously warns them that "those who enter never return" before sending them back to the Dread-Yacht to prepare for what lies ahead.
His final appearance is outside the Magic elemental gate in Bringing Order to Kaos!.

Trivia
- The Wii version has a glitch with the Weapon Master that happens when you say no to going to Arkeyan Armory after finishing Quicksilver Vault. This causes him to revert back and stay in his sleeping state. If you run into this glitch you will have to reset your game. The Skylanders Annual 2013 pokes fun at this glitch, mentioning he doesn't enjoy taking a "no" for an answer.
- Unlike in Spyro’s Adventure, where the real Weapon Master is encountered in person, the Weapon Master himself never physically appears in Giants; only his hologram is present.
- The Weapon Master refers to himself as 'we' and as several Weapon Masters, implying he includes his entire rank or even species as the same individual.
- A floor mural in Time of the Giants appears to depict one of the Weapon Masters.
