Fresh out of gauntlet, might not be advanced any further, I'm mulling it over.

I debated leathercraft and cobbler, and am still.
Now do pay attention, 007.
That scabbard on your hip can be voice activated to relocate the sword/knife into your outstretched hand. The baldric has enchantments which destroy the weight of the sword and scabbard carried within it. There are compartments for the eye patch which lets you see in the dark. No, don't place it on the eye, place it above the eye, like so.
Finally, we have the boots, which are keyed to you personally and allow you to transport yourself quickly back to base. Simply whistle like so...
Quain specializes in leather goods for the Redcap (adventurer) in the field. He is recently gauntleted (either newly, or I might do a cycle, I'm still undecided). His work is generally looked down upon by others in his House that work in more valuable materials, but Quain sees it differently. Leather is intrinsic to almost every adventurers' kit. Who wouldn't come seeking him or his wares out? The cost of materials is low, so he reaps a better price for his enchantments, and leather is nearly ubiquitous.
I need to flesh out who his master is and what his Masterpiece was... Open for comments.
