Yes, that would also make sense. Fiend warlock with pact of the blade makes more sense than hexblade in my opinion. It has a similar problem to multiclassing that he is meant to have been the Blade before we meet him but he’d only get the pact at level 3. Easily solved as a companion by just having him level 3 when we meet him, and if someone’s playing him as an origin then hopefully it’s up to them how closely they stick to what makes narrative sense.
The advantage it has over my multiclass theory is that he can be a warlock at level 1 and still eventually get his proficiency without a feat. And of course he could be a variant human with the weapon master feat too, representing his background as a soldier as well as folk hero, and also a multiclass rogue!
I’ll still be keeping my fingers crossed for a swashbuckler rogue multiclass option, as I’d like what Wyll says about having been a thief to tie into his build somehow, it fits his character, gives us another rogue option for our parties, and it gives him somewhere obvious to go if he breaks his pact with Mizora and can’t level up as a Warlock. He’d need better Dex, though!
Plus I just like charisma builds, so a rogue that can take some advantage of it would be an appealing potential dip for me. But I’m just going off reading about it, and I’ll admit it doesn’t have as clear benefits as some of the other subclasses folk are keen to see.
