What i've got so far includes leadership, extra followers, improved cohort, great diplomat, favored in guild, and guildmaster as my feats, all 5 levels of legendary leader. What else can i do? What base class should i start with? I'm thinking bard/marshal, maybe both for my first 7 levels, then the 5 of LL, but what else is there to do? I will also take the Landlord feat from the stronghold builders guide to establish a base.

P.S. This will likely end up as a PC in Darksun/Athas if that helps at all.

Crusader/Marshal is pretty fun too. If you want The best Mob style tactics, classes like Thrallheard are probably the best and, while not exactly a human mib, the Vermin Lord prestige class takes mobs to a whole new level.

Just occurred to me, you're talking about mob in the mafia sense, not in the large gathering of people/creatures sense... in that case a paladin of Tyranny/Marshal build would probably fit thematically well. LE alignment totally fits the themes presented in a mob, the whole "compliance will be rewarded" endeavor.

Villainous Competition 5 (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?420704) had the Crime Lord theme. Only two submissions (on page 2), but you might get some inspiration from there.

At least 9 levels of Fighter with the Thug variant (UA) and/or skilled city-dweller (cityscape web enhancement) and the zhentarim substitution levels (champions of valor web enhancement)? Like others have said, you can combine this with 1 or 2 levels of marshal and 3 levels of paladin of tyranny.

Other possibilities:

Might makes right feat
Orc warlord prc
Warchief prc
2 lvls of half-orc paragon
Desert half-orc (half-orc without cha penalty)
Menacing demeanour feat
