Wickan boiled leather armour first appears in Deadhouse Gates as the distinctive protective gear of the Wickan horse warriors, though its specific properties remain undescribed in that volume. Across the Malazan series, this traditional Wickan armour evolves from a cultural artifact of the Wickan people into a symbol of their martial identity and adaptation to the empire's demands. Its presence marks the Wickan regiments' integration into the Malazan military while preserving their ancestral fighting traditions.
