How would you folks build Corvo, from Dishonored? He seems to be mainly a rogue/assassin with a limited amount of magic tricks, such as short-range teleport, the ability to temporarily slow or stop time, and the ability to possess animals and people for a short time.
This is a thought experiment, don't worry about fitting into a specific number of levels.
Minus the Japanese flavor, I think Ninja/Assassin is more his style. Or even straight Ninja. Rogues are as much thieves as they are assassins, where as Ninja is more focused on the murder aspects, as well as have supernatural abilities.

Ninja with either a short sword or mart weapon Longsword. I've been thinking of Ninja tricks which could do this, but with UC, he can get...
Darkvision, Acrobatic Master, Vanish Trick, hidden weapons and feather fall, off the top of my head. Or maybe just forgotten trick, to cover that, and have a decent Ki pool. And he also has SOME version of the Assassin class, as he can be good. I'd place him at LEAST at level 8 if he goes pure ninja and assuming 14 CHA.
Ninja/ shadow dancer/ assassin... If you get good enough, you can skip assassin. Get an amulet of soul jar or something of the like.
