Officer and a Gentleman would be perfect in describing the character's personality and combat ability, but there's the minor matter of the character being a civilian.

We actually have Gentleman and a Scholar, which isn't what I wanted, either. Doing some wiki-walking, I finally found Cultured Badass, which I suspect is as close as I'm going to get.
