More like the hero they need but dont deserve
His civ is in the thrall of its goblin overlords, so I'd say they deserve a hammerdwarf who's just a blind servant who will preserve that status-quo. They need that free-thinking marksdwarf. Funny thing you know. Batman always was just a servant of the status quo and the powers that be.
/////////////////////////////
After the raid on the hamlet held by that combined force of goblin and human bandits, and the improvement in observer and dodger which made it worthwhile to switch combat preferences from (stand ground)/(stand ground) to (move away) for dodge and (dodge away) for charge defense, there were ever more bandit groups. A group of elves in a hamlet ruined by a roc. Insurrections led by bandit goblin mace lords at two elven retreats.
As with melee, where the first combat goal is always to ground an opponent through leg and foot shots, and then to consciously inflict either a stun or nausea penalty (if the opponent is a threat) to halve their stats, ranged shares similar goals. Defensively Feb's shield user skill and dodger skill were well through proficient (lvl 5). Just not nearly enough to melee any weapon master (lvl 11). So Feb opts to use ranged versus both mace lords. The best case is they are shot and killed instantly or a major artery is torn open by an arrow. Otherwise ranged is to soften them up, firing first to certainly ground them, perhaps cause weapon/shield loss, and then to either render a nausea penalty, or firing enough shots so they give into pain before switching to melee to finish them. The first mace lord is grounded, drops her weapon, then made nauseous before Feb brains her. The second was shot until he gave into pain. Enough damage was done that he suffocated as Feb went to meet his rank and file in melee.

Feb's shield user skill and dodger skill both reached talented (lvl 6) at about this time. This marked the end of the early game stage for Feb. He was also less than a level away from becoming an master bowdwarf, and two from becoming a hammer lord.
Feb goes for a swim in a river after all that bandit business.

Of course, here he encounters an alligator. He swims by the alligator in the prone position. Once on the ground, he's removed the alligator's charge attack (as that's only versus someone standing) and hence no stun (which would drop Feb to a level 3 defense while moving at 0.099 speed). That's a thing other past characters used to do if they only had competent swimmer (as stun would cause them to suffer the drowning effect), which was run all aquatic combats from a grounded position as there's no movement speed change while swimming whether you stand or lie down, and the advantages of the water critter are neutralized.
After the swim and some time at an elven tavern, Feb decides to scout another part of a region called the Heavy Forest.

He had been looking for a black bear that was eating people, but found instead a few roaming sasquatch recruits and then due to fast travel zoom-in, the shrine of a forest titan.
The forest titan was organic. It was a rattlesnake covered in fur. It had a deadly spittle attack, so it was harmless. A titan is a level 6 monster, Feb's got level 6 defense and easily overmatches it with hammer skill in terms of the stat comparison, but narratively it'd be nonsensical to war hammer it to death. This run, just trying to be intuitive to the weapons available. A war hammer is an anti-armor weapon and aside from 2 hyenas, Feb has only used it on sentients bearing weapons. So, Feb volleys the titan to death with around 30 arrows.
Ending the world here. I'd have Feb set up a fortified house and retire there, but I realized the house would be made of wood and I figured out a stupid and silly way to make stone logs.
