He was obviously useless in a fight but he was a valuable member of the party because of all the non-combat stuff he could do. But stopping 8 hits per attack and taking the defend option made him surprisingly difficult to kill.
That caused us to muse about a fighter whose sole purpose was to tie up the enemy. All ST, minimum DX and IQ. Armored to the maximum extent possible. AdjDx of 1 or so. No one ever ran a character like that however. Is it possible your dwarves had the same mission?

It strikes me that your adventures must have been rather strange; how did he jump the crevice to escape pursuit from pursuing goblin hordes or climb the wall/tree etc. He would have lasted 5 minutes in any adventure I ran. Bizarre.
