My Gm is moving and has requested I build one of the Npc he needs

[Nosta1300]

Our Gm for our new game is moving (one city over) and He has Requested I build one of the NPC of the starting city

The character is to be an Admiral in this floating city and one of the three military leaders.

I am unsure what to build (I was give free-range Except he needs to be good and level 8)

I don't see how fighting this Npc but he should have some decent combat ability and some good leader ship skills

I'd like him to at least be middle age (Race dose not matter)

I just am unsure what to build

the city is a hub where people come from all around the world to trade and the city has there own military / Navy force but thats all i know

Admiral. Floating City.

Either a Gunslinger or Swashbuckler come to mind. Both use style that lends itself well to ship combat, and both have access to a number of social skills (Swashbuckler more than Gunslinger) than a good Admiral would have.
