What alignment is this character concept?

The same alignment as Batman and Han Solo.

Hi, first time I start a thread:

So I've got this character concept in mind for quite some time, and now Paizo has given a class that can play it (thanks for Inquisitor and Alchemist Paizo):

So I want to play an Inquisitor, probably Half-Orc, who seeks to destroy all evil. But he does this, without regard for the innocents, if he can kill the great evil wizard, but killing a few unimportant innocents, he will do so.
In addition to this, he is brutal (orc descent), but to make a point. So the evil clergy will get beaten to death on the street.

So in short, someone who attacks all evil, wherever it is, while using methods that are in fact evil, what alignement has he got?

LG is probably out of the question with killing innocents.
LE however, even if realistic, would make him want to kill himself.
So is LN the way to go?

EDIT: advice on deity and domain is also appreciated

Most LE people with a good agenda don't know they are evil.

Looking at the Core rulebook, the guy is definitely not Good, as he feels no compunction against killing innocents, if it allows him to kill the evil guy.

I do not believe that he is a full-fledged evil person, as he does not make it a habit of debasing and destroying innocent life.

Thus, I would peg him Neutral, bordering on Evil.

Concerning the Law-Chaos axis, from what I understand, the guy does what he thinks is proper and adequate with no regards for what others believe.

Thus, I believe him squarely Chaotic.

In the end, we have here a CN person, bordering on CE.

I like the idea that a god blessed him with the powers of an Inquisitor without him knowing who did that. As for domains, Destruction seems on spot to me.

He could be an Inquisitor of Groetus, unknowingly drawing from the End of All Things the relentless energy that drives him in his crusade to end all evil.

Or, if you prefer one of the Core Rulebook deities, his nigh-schizophrenic take on evil could be looked upon with fondness by Nethys who enjoys a similar duality himself.
