I need some help. I have some basic ideas. First off, alignment is almost certainly Neutral Good. Sure, he's a cop, but he doesn't always side with procedure. Second, he is at least 6th level, probably higher. Sure, 5th is the cut-off for realism, but let's face it: realistic he ain't. He's too awesome to be real. As for class, probably bard, inquisitor, or ninja. The first two are good police officer/investigator classes, with plenty of skill points and abilities, and the third fits the way he always pops up out of nowhere right when he's needed and then kicks ass.
What ability scores and feats do you guys think he has? Can you help me narrow down class and level?

Horatio is not a member of the weakest class in Pathfinder! Make him a Ninja instead.
Ninja would give him some odd abilities- like poison use; which don't really fit H.C.
I gave him the bandit-rogue archetype for the ambush ability, which seemed to go well, but like I said: I'll probably end up doing a final version at some point as an urban ranger with a gun.
