We are playing the Skull & Shackles adventure path, my GM has allowed me to use the leadership feat, I can generate the NPCs but I have to pass them to him to approve.
The concept I want is for the Cohort to be an expert in siege engines, and to control those of the ship while the followers will be a part of his siege team and another part engineers to help us maintain and repair the ships.
With the followers I have not had many problems in generating them, they are:

But I have had problems with the cohort, I cannot get the flavor I want. I thought to make him a gnome gunslinger, with the archetype siege gunner, but do not convincing me, maybe it's because I do not know that class very much.
Does anyone have any recommendation or suggestion?
