I would go with a bard or inquisitor to handle the skills and be a basic problem solver.
I would've said summoner because
Well
Your basically playing an eidolon with the leadership feat
BUt
Skills are useful
Rogues are good
Give it a bow and some sneaky shenanigans
Maybe the AoO with a bow feats?
Slayer, Bard or inquisitor
I think a buffing wizard or blaster would fill holes in the party actually. A Bard would also work really well.
The slayer is from the advanced class guide playtest.
The inquisitor is more a ranged or melee combatant than a spellcaster. But I just build one to be a party's main healer. Have not played him yet, though. Consider him a lot like a divine bard when it comes to spellcasting. Few would call a bard as primary spellcaster.
Honestly I agree with inquisitor on this one
I would go Bard over Inquisitor: you already have 2 good divine caster, but just one 1/2 arcane caster. Also, the Bard is nearly the king of skill monkey and could easily buff you cavalier and your magus.
Bard, definitely, for previously stated reasons.
With bard,a aasimars aren't the worst you can do
The ember kind are the best bard stats I think?
Not exactly sure
If you are planning a long game, the fear performance is pretty good, and you can bump it super high with the aasimar favored class
I disagree on the ember kind. I prefer Musetouched, Int and dex cancel each other out, BUT you get +2 on all perform and diplomacy checks. HELLO versitale performance!
i'd also suggest a bard... party buffs are great, their spell list covers a lot of the types of arcane spells that a magus will be lacking, bardic knowledge makes you ok at knowledge checks without even investing ranks (or, even better, with 1 rank in each to get that sweet sweet class skill bonus), and you'll have a bunch of skills (including 'face' skills, which will be very important if there's a kingdom building aspect).
and musetouched is better than emberkin (IMO)
OH
Well crap
I didn't even realize you were doing kingmaker
He'll yeah bard all the way
I never thought to give eidolon a skills like that
Most of the onesi create are beefy claw monsters that don't have the right kinda...hand...things to do that with
If you look at the skilled evolution, that will probably help
Idk if those would be class skills for an eidolon
Bard can work fine here, though Wizard would be stronger and synergize with your Magus brother better. If you want to be the king you need maximum charisma, so Sorcerers, caster Oracles, caster Bards and the like are what you should play if you want to be in charge.
Bard is great. If you want to go Summoner, Master Summoner is well designed for your Eidelon to be a skill monkey while you get some nifty buff spells and can summon ridiculously effectively- and that from level one because your guys last minutes per level. your Eidelon can also buff via wands while you do whatever- which would really help fill in the lack of arcane casting.
Bard or inquisitor - Focus on social skills, stealth/scout/perception/disable, and personal or group buff spells.

So far our group consists of:
Gnome cavalier
Half-orc magus
Half-orc oracle (heaven probably)
Eld druid treesinger
This actually might not be a bad occasion to try being an Arcane Trickster: You need someone who can do the whole thievery spiel, is versatile in combat, and your party couldn't hurt for more arcane magic than you presently have. I'd ultimately suggest a Half-Elf Rogue/Witch. I go with Witch because your party appears to presently have more Charisma than Intelligence, and you said you didn't want to be a Wizard. If having to care for a somewhat vulnerable living spellbook concerns you, I'd readily suggest being a Gravewalker Witch, which by 3rd level lets you do an awesome "voodoo doll" trick, and the fact that you'll have Rogue levels too should help mitigate the early dearth of power some have reported the archetype experiencing. If you want advice on Rogue Archetypes, let me first say that there'd be nothing wrong with a "standard" Rogue, but if you want something a little quirkier, then Burglar, Scout, Scroll Scoundrel, and Trapsmith all look good for your purposes.
Also, see if you and your DM find any of this appealing!
The problem with the witch: the spell list is not as good as the wizard and the best part of the class, the hex, will not level up. White haired witch sounds better IMO.
Ramble level: ***
You have a party member focusing on each of the mental attributes, which means that you most likely have your core knowledges and social skills taken care of, though it's never bad to double up. I personally think an or would be a healthy addition to the party, in that order. Although, the alchemist does feel somewhat similar to a wizard during play. In my opinion, it's almost a halfway point between the magus and the wizard, being somewhat capable in combat (Somewhat supremely glorious if done properly and shamelessly) as well as on the arcane front, but not quite as directly geared towards one style as the magus. Basically, I consider it complex for a first run.
In total I think you folks need a smattering of roguish skills and a little more physical oomph, and so I recommend a ranged combat alchemist, standard bard, archery ranger (take a good look at this one), inquisitor, or even a barbarian (because putting that cavalier to shame would be funny).
