I'd like to submit Etienne! He is a virtuous bravo paladin, he's a swashbuckler style Paladin with a strong internal moral compass.
Your character's link to Taldor and their motivation for getting involved in Taldan politics:
He is a Taldan by birth, and with the Child of Oppara trait, he's part of a minor noble family. His interest is to promote social justice and bring about meaningful change for the lower classes and to advance the worship of Sarenrae through his deeds and words.

Role in the group - what can your character contribute in and out of combatEtienne will be a more than competent combatant with his scimitar, out of combat Etienne is a social butterfly and barrister, arguing cases more on the merit of his personality than in-depth understanding of the law. (High Charisma, average Int and Wis)
Background In profile
(optional) Character progression, how do you plan to develop them?Most likely Paladin straight through, I don't see a need to veer off that, unless I'm really feeling a skill crunch, which could mean into investigator for a level or two.
