My Notes & Comments:

Heh. It's got the wrong number of skill points - it should have 24, it's got 13. That's what comes of an 8 intelligence and being human... The right number of feats, though. The skill issue is fairly minor. I'll pass that on to the designers, though.

That's not a bad statblock to have on a card, though - very useful.

Cheers!

just looks like they did a typo on this, make the 2 a 12 and chaos is betrayed once more

Can't be twelve. It's a 9th level character, so 12 ranks; -1 for intelligence, a maximum of +11.

Cheers!

There would still be 2 missing points however, since he has a 14 Chr and the 12 Diplomacy would only require 10 skill points.

Why does it list the hit dice as "9" instead of "9d10+18"?

So he should have 24 skill points. That would be 5 ranks of Hide(10 points) to qualify for the Blackguard, 3 ranks of Knowledge (religion) and 10 ranks of Diplomacy. Still one point short.
Or we could just assume that the Diplomacy and Knowledge listings are actually skill ranks instead of totals, and Hide was just misplaced in editing or something...
