The Main Guy

Guy #2:  I was looking to try a thief, and he had the makings of an excellent one.

I dropped his wisdom from 16 to 10 and increased his Dexterity from 15 to 18.  He has a good CON and a good Charisma, both excellent features.

Proficiencies are pretty important.  Because he has a low INT (8) he can't read, so I spend his general proficiency on Language so he can read and write.   More importantly, since thieves have sucky hit points, I want him to be useful with missiles, so I choose Precise Shooting, letting him shoot into melee.

So, meet The Masked Archer of the Apocalypse
