That evidence does not seem conclusive to me. 103 years is not so long, many normal dwarfs reach that and more. Adult sons don't come with their parents. The wife should be there, but she colud have died at world gen or something.
Any more data? Very high social or other skills? that often marks vampires.
Anyway, lock him. It should not take long to see and no harm will done to anybody.
The biggest piece of evidence is that list of former civilizations. It's normal for a dwarf to be kicked out of one or two but I've never seen a non-vampire have more than four under his belt.

Yea, i saw that later. Train him as a marksdwarf and lock him in a watch tower for an automatic turret.

Just to set all the cards on the table so nobody misses anything he's been part of a huge number of civilizations, has gray hair, has family who isn't here, he has great and adept social skills, his endurance and strength are superdwarven. As a vampirologist I rate him at about an 80% certainty.

Another thing to try is checking how fast he goes. Vampires normally walk the speed of normal dwarves to disguise themselves, but they will move faster in combat. Draft him and make him go fight tick men or whatever.

Can I get in on this as an Overseer? It looks fun and different.

Preferably as a dwarf with some kind of archery skill, please.

Could you post my dwarfpire's skill list?

Oh, and assuming you don't all up and murder my pale backside, can vamps drink non dwarf blood? Like cattle blood?

Vampires can drink animal blood, yes, but only if they catch them sleeping, which is very rare- syndromes and such. So no,
the only way to prevent thirst is to kill fellow dwarfs

There are tautological problems with the testing. It's been hypothesized that you could contaminate a well with cattle blood and drinking from it would have the same effect as feeding but since vampires don't drink it's moot.

Okay since the witching hour caught us in a tie between trial by water and do nothing I rule in favor of trial by water! A cistern will be constructed and we'll see if Mebuy is who he says he is.

I'd like a turn as well, if at all possible.

I'd also like to be dwarfed, as the first baby, or child that comes along. Name: Iggy McNatz.

make sure any leaks he may have a plugged, otherwise we'll have half the fort infected, alternatively poke some holes into him first for increased flow :-D

I'm a noob but I would like to join to the turn queue.

Also, lock him up and use him as an emergency dwarf after the village falls.
