Statting the advantageous side of Doctor Gaius Baltar

Greetings, all!

I took a shot at writing him up for Guess The Character earlier, but now I'm curious about properly representing him (and his feats) in game terms more seriously. Specifically, the advantages and skills required for those feats. For instance:

Given that he's not really from Caprica, should he really have Status? Status plus Secret? Social Chameleon?
I assume that his Ally build is basically Insubstantiality+Invisibility. Or is there any other approach to building 'only in your head' Allies?
What's the state of his reaction modifier advantages and social skills? He managed to become president in the early seasons, but back then he didn't have a negative Reputation. But it might be a minor feat compared to creating a religious cult (with all the bells and whistles) almost from scratch despite his negative Reputation? People say he doesn't have leadership skills, but if he doesn't, how does he do that?
