Ok Brian, did the math and here's what I came up with
Traits 40
Advantages 38 (Here's the points breakdown in case you need it. 1, 3, 5, 3, 2, 1, 5, 5, 3, 3, 2, 2, 3)
Arcana -10
Backgrounds 3
Languages 3 (1 for R/W Avalon, 2, for Castille)
Sword School 35 (25 for school, 10 for different nation)
Skills 10 (2pts for every one other than Scoundrel, Athlete, and Fencing)
Knacks 12 (6 for bumping footwork, attack and parry, 6 for Sidhe Lore and Cold Read)
For a grand total of 131.
So just shave off 1 point somewhere and you're good.

Some comments.
Note nothing in what I'm about to say needs to be changed, but just some things to keep in mind and/or think about how you want to explain.
1) You have a couple of allies. I wouldn't normally mention this since Allies are really just info dumps, but because you took them at such a high level, I wanted to say. To be clear, while they might come rescue you at some point in the future, they still will not be adventuring companions.
1a) Speaking of, you mentioned "The Beast" as an Ally, just wanted to ask if you meant the member of the Black Dawn's crew, not some other beast, right?
2) You have both "Scoundrel" and Sidhe Blood (Good Standing). One implies you are not trustworthy, the other that you are. Just wanted you to be aware of that.
3) Your traits are kind of low. Again, not a problem overall, just want you to be aware you are not going to be succeeding as much as other PCs.
4) Backgrounds, I always mention this so just as a reminder, you've given me 3 points worth of backgrounds which means 12 episodes. I know you go to both GenCon and Origins, but that's still quite a commitment (half the campaign if you make it to every PA at both cons). I have no problem writing that much, just want you to know what you're in for (because I'd hate for you not to see how it all ends).
4a) Speaking of, I already have the treasure map done (btw thank you both for that, it turned out really cool, I think) But I didn't know about the Sidhe Lover. I am going to assume you both want to do the treasure map but if you did want to do the Sidhe Lover, get me the write up asap.

Oh gosh, how could I have forgotten!
You have all your knacks at 1 but you have a bunch of synergy bonuses. I think you saw them since you put asterisks near all of them but to be clear, here's how that all should look.
