All good thoughts, and roughly in line with my own take on it. I especially like the flaws. But wouldn't he have Air rather than water? He's usually seen as the son of Orlanth, and Heler is supposed to be the main link the Orlanthi have to water.

He can use anything in a sheep : flesh, milk, wool, bones, sinews. He can control rams, help ewes deliver lambs, perhaps run as a sheep as a part of his magics. He can probably track and knows the tula very well. He has alynx to help him. He knows some fighting to protect his herd. He might even be quite well-off with a large herd of sheep, but his Flaw is easy : "overlooked by others" or simply "cottar".

It's not a very prestigious cults, in fact it's one of the humblest. Still, Voriof is part of HELER, the Major Water/Rain/Clouds God. Heler is also the Ram. Doesn't your player prefer to play that?
