One of my buddies is starting up a Hell's Rebels game and I have this particular concept in mind. There's this one Chelish noble family called the House Sarini that is composed a large part of absolute psychos and executioners. Think Draven from LoL. In the book there's an option to come from the house as long as you don't share their support in House Thrune and so I wanted to make a character that was deemed too sociopathic for the family members to allow even within their numbers. Someone who in one hand is doing the toast at your wedding and with the other slip poison in the husband's drink. Frankly, I want to do Game of Thrones s+$@. How should I go about that?
Currently I have (based on a 15 pt. buy)
Human Slayer (Velvet Blade)
Str 18
Dex 13
Con 12
Int 10
Wis 8
Cha 12
Feats:
noble scion (able to get from taking child of kintargo trait) and power attack
I'm currently considering a twf build by picking up the feats through ranger combat style but otherwise I'm at a bit of a loss. What sort of class and archetype do you think would most line up with what I described?
I think your concept would be better suited for Hell's Vengeance than Hell's Rebels. The latter is supposed to be a heroic adventure.

Heroic enough that a character concept that includes the descriptive phrase, "too sociopathic for", is going to have problems.
You could have a character that's kind of nuts, a little bit mentally ill, that still believes in doing the right thing. You could have someone who his family think is a sociopath, because he won't go along with what they think is normal. You could also have an anarchist who's out to destroy the Thrune regime, or at least the part of it in Kintargo.

Strong themes of the AP are heroism, rescuing people, looking out the little guy, restoring freedom and throwing down oppression, etc. It doesn't sound like someone considered, "too sociopathic" is going to be able to remotely embrace those things.
I would definitely talk to your GM and see if you can come up with a way to alter things so it will all fit, I suppose you could play a group of hardcore anti-Thrune anarchists but the GM is going to have to do a lot of work to alter the AP to fit in that case.
Also, as Rysky says, they're fools and jesters not executioners.

the original reasoning that I gave for her rebelling was her hatred of Thrune due to her family's longstanding position as lapdogs to them but if Suthainn is right, then that might not fly for the AP. I might change my house in that case.
What family should I choose under the noble scion feat to have as much interaction with house members as possible? I would really want to fight them during the AP but working with them as part of the rebellion would be fine too. I'm not asking for spoilers but if some houses are more represented than others in the AP
