Maverick

Source NPC Core pg. 76
These lone wolves have an aura of mystery, bravado, and swagger.

Crossover Ancestry NPCs

Several of the NPCs elsewhere in NPC Core can fit well in this group: Bill-band (level 5), gambling companion (level 3), goblin get gang (level 5)

Draw!

Multiple mavericks carry the explosive ranged weapons called firearms. Many of these NPCs can be adapted to other ranged weapons, such as crossbows or bows, with minimal changes if you choose not to include firearms in your game. More firearms and the gunslinger class appear in Pathfinder Guns & Gears.

Dueling Etiquette

Some mavericks meet to size each other up before deciding whether or not to duel. Then, if they decide to challenge one another, the face-off's rules (or lack thereof) are agreed upon beforehand to prevent any ill will afterward. Being a sore loser is highly frowned on, even more than a duel to the death.

Familiar Firearms

Many gunwitches wield weapons that are both firearms and magic weapons or implements in some form, which serves in place of a regular witch's familiar. As most gunwitches—rare as they are—make their own weaponry, it's speculated that the gunwitch's patron is the one who provides the blueprints for their sophisticated magical firearm.

Mavericks And Duels

Mavericks tend to jump into duels at the drop of a hat, ready for a true test of their intuition and reflexes. A duel encounter uses the duels subsystem. A peerless duelist is truly exceptional (and already has all the dueling actions used in the subsystem due to their skills). If you want another NPC to have more options in duels, you can swap one of their existing skills for Deception or Intimidation.
