I think his soul is too high for anything settled. Even while he's a blacksmith, he's obviously restless. No one would train themselves so rigorously for combat if they did not wish to encounter it. He is a born leader with 'a touch of destiny,' and that sort of man can't stand at an anvil, or a counter all day. I'd like to see him go to New England as well. That's really the only place I can see him. He needs to lead, and he can do that there- possibly as an American privateer captain (dare I say it? ;) American privateers raided the Nova Scotian town my ancestors built ^_^ ). After the war I can see him settling into a respectable life on land, having proven himself. I can see politics too.
