Ah, yes, thieves are good! However, I recommend that you leave the magic up to Npcs if you don't 'really' like using magic, Edwin is a great mage but he's evil which 'may be a problem. For your character, well, IMO, i think either dualing fighter to thief at level 12 or vice versa is better, the backstab will be higher because of your fighter side

Starting as a fighter gives you more hitpoints and better thief skills but starting as a thief gives less hitpoints, less Thief skills but better fighting ability.

If you playing multiclass, i guess Thief/mage of Thief/fighter are good combinations. If you have a Thief/mage, get all the invisibilty spells like shadow door etc, they good for backstabbing. Oh and again, if playing Thief mage, try to find elven chainmail, they give great AC for thieves and mages alike AND let you cast spells while wearing it
