One of the goofy old prestige classes from 3.0/3.5 is the jordain vizier, they would be an assistant to a wizard acting as a research assistant or extra muscle as needed, they were typically fighters monks or even rogues but they wouldn't take casting classes because they would be hunted down for knowing magic for some reason.
I'm interested in making a build that excels at filling the same sort of roll as the jordain vizier, the character should be knowledgeable of magic but not gain spellcasting as a class feature (ritual caster and possibly magic initiate or okay in my book as well as racial casting such as high elf), as well as being a competent spotter for counterspelling, possibly scouting and, be capable in other ways as an assistant such as being able to identify reagents perform basic alchemy and/or herbalogy.
I have a slight preference for human and half human builds as I find them easier to role play but if you have an idea for a wizards assistant that uses a different race, please share! I'm not looking at making a character for a specific game or at a specific level, just trying to brainstorm what sort of features are desirable from what classes in achieving this role.
