i am sorry dear, none of those really suit my fancy and neither the first or second would require drones though the second one could be mangled into something with work and i just dont care for the third since it isn't really practical

how about something more simple, could he be a hired spy for someone of power? if he were it'd give him a reason to be sneaky and make alibis and learn how to disguise himself with wigs and powder or maybe someone born of high status since then he would have the means to do the types of things you say he does and would not need much validation for them

it works better if you imagine your char as a real person and apply real-world logic to situations to see what holds, that way after you are four or five pages in you won't be tripping over a stack of loopholes XD
