So I need help with another character concept. Here is the background, I just need help figuring out what class works best as well as stats.
I want to make a dwarf character, from the five kingdoms (glorions), who is tired of seeing his once great race decending away from its former glory. the dwarf was once a criminal and has been reformed and wants to give his life to the greater good of his race. He doesn't want to be biased or influenced by what he already knows. He decided to enduce amnesia to forget everything he know except motor skills such as fighting and what not. He plans on waking up, near his armor, and a crap load of literature and other motiviating factors to encourage the new empty slate to give his all.
I was thinking he will need to adventure to build a name for himself, as well as DE PHAT LEWTZ. Then work towards uniting the dwarven race and bringing them to thier once great glorious state.
So... What class would work best? fighter or barbarian? what stats do I want (secondary) cha for his people skills, wisdom or intelligence for the obvious reasons?

I thought up some awesome rules for amnesia once but I don't remember them.

Dwarven barbarians are excellently mobile.
Dwarven fighters are solid as a rock.
But if you want this guy to unite people and become a great leader, you probably should make him a fighter, paladin, cleric, or cavalier. Barbarians go crazy when they fight, and nobody wants to follow a crazy dude. They want to follow someone dependable, charismatic (at least a little), understandable, and trustworthy. Somebody who isn't afraid to get dirty. Somebody they can trust to protect them. Fighters, paladins, clerics, and cavaliers are the best for this purpose.
It seems you are intent on a full-BAB class, but I would urge you to consider starting of with Rogue.
Admittedly, you do suffer a bit with the lack of BAB at 1st level, but the d6 of sneak attack will help make up for that. Also, the 8+Int skills will help you become a better leader even if you don't have the highest Charisma. A Rouge with a 10 Charisma can have the same bonus to Diplomacy as a Fighter with a 16 Charisma just due to the class skill bump.
