No idea. You should probably build a dormitory in his office and make sure your expedition leader has plenty of free time. I'm sure he'll find something to eat.

Have you found any dwarf completely drained of blood?

He's a vampire, son.

i always thought the starting 7 are guaranteed to be vamp-free.

I'd be shocked if dwarves didn't eat the demons they killed. After all, if they're willing to eat a poison spewing monstrosity, why not a flying dinosaur thing that hates all life?

He said "after a year" since vampires are uber charismatic he was probably elected shortly after he arrived.

nonono, he's not a vampire 'cause he's one of the first seven and he does sleep sometimes

he just doesn't need to eat or drink

and that's quite strange

he might eat or drink, but since it's not bad or good it doesn't generate a thought

hhm, that could be possible but in a fortress filled with lots of different booze flavours and prepared meals, not even a single thought about those?

i'll stalk him for a while

Is there anything like "has gone without a drink for far, far too long" near the end of his description page? There should be after over a year. If not, does he have a favourite drink or food listed in his preferences?

in any case, starting 7 are never vampires unless they drink vampire blood laced water. Does (s)he have a bedroom?

If he's the starting 7, he eats and drinks.

That's probably it then; the quality levels of the available food aren't enough to generate a happy thought nor disgusting enough to make an unhappy one so it isn't listed either way.

If all your food was transformed into masterwork roasts and the booze was either produced by a Master (or better) Brewer or was bumblebee mead, it'd show up.

Food never causes unhappy thoughts
