Default How do you adjust to this type of limit player?

Here is a profile:

PREFLOP
- limps in early to middle position with aces, kings, small pairs, suited aces and suited connectors
- he also overcalls raises with these hands
- he raises with AK, AQ, queens, jacks, tens and stuff like J8s
- on the button he tries to isolate pre-flop raisers
- he also tries to buy the button
- he defends the BB with about 90% of his hands
- he likes to call raises from late position in the SB with the same speculative NL hands
- his own blindsteal frequency is very low (~25%)
- blind vs. blind he will raise in the BB if the SB limps and usually raise first-in from the SB himself. Sometimes he limps from the SB and always pulls the limp-raise

POSTFLOP
- if he has the initiative he bets until he gets raised
- if he doesn't have the initiative he calls all the way if he has a pair, even with overpairs
- in position he calls every continuation bet
- if he can beat one pair he will go for the checkraise on the turn or even the river
- sometimes he will donk if an ace hits
- basically he will bet his draws and slowplay made hands
- in multiway pots he usually tries to force a HU situation so he has position
- if you give up the initative and check to him, he will bet in almost every case
- if you take a free card he will always bet the next street

Basically he plays 100% backwards. I think it is pretty obvious that he eats aggressive players alive. So how do you play this guy?
