But if all your archers die, you don't lsoe any levels (apart from maybe the Road North in TFL, I can't remember.) I don't think the JW is any specific unit (not unit type, but specific unit), because otherwise gameplay would be hindered by "oh, damn, that fir'Bolg died again". Just because he didn't appear ingame in the levels doesn't mean he wasn't there - take Alric being at the Great Devoid*, but not in the level.
I think that he must be a warr because the firs were the archers, and his grandfather owned a pumpkin farm - only the Prvonce grow these (well, Cath bruig may have, but any Jman would have been more knowledgable).
* Unrelated point: anyone noticed that when Alric suffers a hard death, his head section is a head with a trailing spinal coulmn, just like in the Epilogue cutscene?
"This is nothing. At the Stair of Grief our swords were beaten so dull, we had to kill the Soulless with our bare hands! I know how hard it is to strangle the undead..."
