Well, I'd probably make this guy a Lunger.  Go, say,
10-9-13-13-17-9-13, and train strength early on.  This'll give you
all the good lunger weapons except epee.  Run him in ALE/L, go 10-10-8 L
in the first, and gradually wind down to 7-5-5 in 6th-on, using the
L tactic until then.  Target the AB, unless you want to get kills, in which
case go for the head.  I've always had good luck with my lungers going
after bashers, and slashers would probably be good too.

Other alternatives would be PL and TP.  For the PL I'd go with the
same set-up and run him as a lunger until his defensive skills got better.
The TP's a little unorthodox, I'd use the same set-up, run him maybe 1-2-1-P
for a little variety :-).  Doesn't really have a great CN for either of
those styles, though.
