Recently I've had two goblin civs ruled by Dwarves. Pretty funny.

Build a tomb around him and then flood it with water/magma

If you get Dwarf Companion (And have a version compatible - for my purposes, I keep 40d13 and an exact copy that runs on 40d), you might be able to change the King's entry to make him a full member of the fort, if you so wish.  I can't guarantee it'll work, though.

I think his personality will be incomplete, but I'm not sure...

Yes, use DC to make him a civ member and tell us the results.

I had the same scenario happen to me. My Dwarf civ conquered some Elf towns and eventually chose one of them as king. I also noticed that the constant warring had killed all of my adult dwarves. My previous king before the elf was only 12 years old. I think that if all you have in your civ are children, you get the Elf.

He actually sounds like a pretty Dwarfy elf; his family being eaten alive by other elves lends him a pretty awesome backstory and undying hate for elves. Build him a nice little house out of wood wherever he ends up on the field and post a permanent military squad there to defend him from other elves.

Changing him into a Civ member using Dwarf Companion just turns him "Tame" as opposed to "Friendly". He still doesn't appear on my nobles screen. Unless there's something I need to do besides change the Civ hex to fix that.

Can you tie him up in the throne room with a chain?

It's not really an elf, it's just a dwarf who loved killing elves so much every inch of his beard and skin is covered with elf leather!

It rubs the ale on it's skin or it gets the hammer again!

Now I have this mental image of a 6-foot elf with a fake beard sat on his too-small dwarven throne, drinking ale and muttering about those "Damn pointy-eared tree-loving bastards".

Awesome.

Dwarf Council:

Urist1: "why is the elf here?!"
Urist2: "we conquered them, they need representation"

Urist speaker:  "the first subject is: carp infested rivers"
Elf: "I say we pour magma into the river"

Dwarfs: ..... KING! KING! KING!

That [Magma] is a bit deep down there, don't you think?
You really aren't thinking like a dwarf.

If you think it is down too far, you move it up until it reaches an acceptable elevation.

Fixed that for you.

Heh, that's just brilliant. It's especially funny that you drew him in tighty-whiteys. Seems to add to the ridiculousness somehow in an incalculable way.

Chaining him down does work. I'm going to build him a big throne room then chain him right next to his throne.

The picture sealed it.
