One of the enemies in the pirate faction is going to be casting a lesser planar ally spell soon. What's an appropriate LPA for Besmara? Proteans just don't seem right, but there's nothing else we know about that's low enough in hit dice and native to the Maelstrom, right?
Water elemental.
Maybe a type of drowned undead - ex-pirate lord who sold his soul to Besmara as his ship sank and was saved to act as herald.

LPA specifies an Outsider, sadly. (This is a change from 3.5.) Otherwise those are great suggestions!
I'd bend it a little here and let it slide. Maybe make the ally appear as an undead, though have the outsider type behind the screen.
Gozreh (as described in Serpent Skull #2) has an air elemental on it's list of planar allies - and it's herald is an elemental.
Ooh, good point! I guess if the Paizo writers don't need to follow their own rules then neither do I. :)
Thanks again for the help!
Elementals are Outsiders.

Aha! That's what I was missing! Thank-you, Nullpunkt. :)
