Thanael,
The Watch Detective seems to be 100% 3.5 compatible. I have the Ravenloft book(s) you reference, so I'll check those out post haste. (I thought I remembered there being a detective in RL!)
Thanks.
You'll find the RL Detective prc in Heroes of Light, the stats for Alanik Ray are in Gazetteer 3 though.
As for 2E Alanik is in Champions of the Mists, he sort of narrated pieces of Van Richten's Guide to Ghosts and there are more details on him in Bleak House.
