Creatures with particularly good senses of smell are actually capable of navigating their environments exclusively through smell (and don't forget how blood hounds can track things across VAST distances purely by following their scent!). In fact, a blind Miqo'te with a very good nose could be an extraordinarily formidable hunter.
Oh, I don't discount the sense of smell. What I mean is that the scent of smoke could likely be stronger and dilute their sense of smell, making it harder to detect them through the smoke. And regardless, smell =/= sight. You may be able to tell that someone is in front of you, but that would be pretty much it. You wouldn't be able to tell if they're punching or kicking at you.
EDIT: And I also agree with what you stated about the archetype. It isn't needed. It's something that Val is embarking on spiritually and for his own personal reasons. As for the character, he's never been more than a Miqo'te with a lance and a pair of daggers =)
