So I want to play as a boreal dwarf paladin because I found a very nice looking portrait.

The order I have chosen is [The Shieldbearers of St. Elcga]
I have mainly looked at the dispositions when making this choice because I want to play an honest guy who tries his best to solves problems diplomatically where possible.
I have also looked at the [Goldpact Knights] but don't like the fact that gold is king for them, but I don't know that much about them so I might be wrong here.
I have chosen for [Deadfire Archipelago - Mercenary] background because I read most boreal dwarfs are from there and from all the options available mercenary seemed most likely for a paladin in that region.
He is supposed to be a diplomatic guy that tries to resolve conflict with words rather than swords, but does not back away from a fight when someone is asking for it.
I plan to play with the NPC's and my character will try to protect them at all costs, he wants to get to know them and help where ever possible.
Now for the combat and stats part, I want to play him as a off-tank, support character that buffs his allies and keeps them in fighting shape.
The stats I have in mind are;
MIG:15, CON:9, DEX:11, PER:13, INT:17, RES:13
I want to be able to take most conversations options but also be decent at healing and buffing, are these stats any good or should I adjust a little bit?
So, does this make much sense lore wise or are boreal dwarfs not known for being paladins?
Thanks in advance!
