Well, to be technical, I've already made him, but looking at the nightmarish Frankenstein result is making me reconsider.
So, what I had was two levels of Rogue (Thug), four levels of Barbarian, and one level of Fighter.
My main goal was manoeuvrability. Specifically, along with the intimidation tactics of the Thug, I took the Rogue Crawl rogue talent. Fit the character that he could move around on all fours surprisingly nimbly. Similarly, the fighter level was because I wanted to work my way up to Armour Training 1 to not be impeded by medium armour.
Partly, this was also an experiment in multiclassing. Though I'm not sure I like the end result. Hence why I'm here.

Anyways, so I'm looking for suggestions for how to make a front-line character with a few skill points to spend and a bestial/wild theme. Seven levels. Any first party material from the SRD should be acceptable. Would really like Rogue Crawl or a related ability. Some preference for being able to move freely in medium armour as well, though this isn't as important.
Forget about gear, focus entirely on the character. Don't want to get into details, but magical equipment tends to be hard to come by with my GM.
Sounds like you just want a straight Barbarian with Beast Totem to me.

Herpy Derp, my mistake.
Yah, I'd skip the whole Fighter thing, unless you also really want feats.
I agree that Barbarian seems to fit your needs. though if you're dead-set on Rogue Crawl, 2 levels of Slayer gets you access. It also nets you better HP, BAB, and Saves than the rogue levels while also rounding out your Barbarian skill list.
Ah, yes, I was considering dipping Slayer instead of Rogue as well. The intimidating tricks the Thug provides are kind of neat, but not all that necessary. The main reason I was hoping for Fighter was to get that little extra movement. I know Barbarians get extra movement, but they're still slowed down by medium armour, balancing it out.
EDIT: If I could rephrase the question, I'd say I was looking for other ways to obtain/simulate Rogue Crawl and Medium Armour training, or ways to increase speed.
Buy a Mithral Breastplate.
Take a Monk dip for Imp. unarmed strike and Monkey Style and then take Monkey Moves when you can.
