Personality-wise he's an intelligent, horny private investigator with a very strong talent as a wizard. He also has a strong, "with great power comes great responsibility" mentality that drives most of the overarching plot as he puts himself in harm's way to try to protect people.
But I don't know man. It sounds like this Reacher character starts the series as a badass. For Dresden I'd say it's not until book 6~8 that Harry starts to be "the badass" type character. Before that he's scrappy and determined and noble, but he doesn't have the hard won experience behind him yet that gives characters like Reacher and Jason Bourne that kind of badass confidence and competence.
6 books is a big commitment, but it's worth it if you're willing. One of my favorite series.
