I'm making a wizard that my players are going to encounter in a few levels. He's a transmutation specialist with an obsession with stone. He's spent a considerable amount of his personal wealth on researching a few custom spells (the main one being Gargoyle Enthrallment).

He's going to have a small clan of gargoyles enslaved to him, and maybe a basilisk or cockatrice.
I was planing on having him be a Stonechild, from races of stone, using the monster class option (basically, he'd have one level of Stonechild, rather then level adjustment +6). I was planning on him taking 2 levels of Wizard (transmutation specialist), 4 levels of Master Specialist, and then 5 levels of Warwever.

I'm not trying to optimize him, I'm more interested in giving him a nice roleplaying option, and some good fluff. He's obsessed with stone, and creatures that are made of stone or create stone. Any ideas would be welcome, and I'm not set in stone on his current build, so if you can think of any prestige classes that would better suite his stone obsession (fluff or game mechanic wise), feel free to shout out.

I'll also post an outline of the custom spells he has for review once I get off work. Also, his stats are:
Str 14 Dex 13 Con 16 Int 22 Wis 9 Cha 11. That's after racial adjustment, and the bonus points at 4, 8, and 12 Hit Dice, but does not include any items.

Consider a 2 level dip into totemist and the feat share soulmeld. By attaching the basilisk mask to your totem chakra you can turn people to stone...for 1 round.

And then the spell change stone from Underdark as well as the weird rock types available on page 105 of the same source are amazing. Cast daylight, then take your familiar, basilisk mask it for 1 round, cast changestone on it to turn it into photogenerative rock, and boom, before the end of the turn you have a colossal raven that can make DC 30 strength checks to behead other things that you petrify....
