#and by the time he became a maskmaker he had learnt the status quo

[muaka-safari]

In reading this line, I assumed Vakama had been a mask maker right from the start, but then I recently came across this line in Time Trap:

and it turns out he started originally as a tool-maker before rising to the rank of mask maker

(Also while I appreciate this line about Vakama never raising his voice while being a mask maker is focused on his relationship with Nuhrii, it does hilariously leave open the option that Vakama was a shouty little tool-maker)
