Reflavored Eldritch Blast to be thrown cards, went Book of Shadows (renamed Deck of Shadows), took the Lucky feat. I went Fiend Pact, but that was for mechanic issues and not flavor. For Gambit's staff, take the Shillelagh cantrip when you go Tome Pact, and use a quarterstaff. That will now run off your Charisma.

I think the Criminal background should cover his history just fine, I don't think you need any Rogue levels at all. If you were going Blade Pact, maybe, but that assumes b your DM would let you sneak attack with the staff. I'd stay away from Rogue and go pure Warlock here.
