Are both natural though? I would use the 2nd but I heard an English person say the first.
I didn't know that this actor had that repertoire of skills. He was good in the comedy.
I didn't know he had that in his repertoire. He was good in the comedy.

In a context where you are clearly discussing skills, don't say 'of skills'.
'Intertwine' is OK.
'conceive' , 'set out' , or 'set forth' set out / set forth are OK if you want to be a little fancy in your language. 'Conceived' is a little more mundane.

I didn't know he had that in his repertoire. He was good in the comedy.
