A short character exercise since I haven't done this in a while! The design criteria I made for myself in this case had to suit a short timeframe since I only had a couple of lunch hour breaks to do it.
The following traits I considered during the design: Priest/Advisor(primary class) hybrid with assassin (optional, secondary trait). Similar to apathetic corporate office worker. 'Side character' type but not NPC if in a story. Colour schemes adhere to main 2-3 colours, no more than 4 if have saturation variations. Optional weapon, could be something light or easy to carry/swing around but also be sharp for that secondary trait requirement. As an advisory role that only appears beside a main character sometimes, perhaps he would not be carrying around such a thing all that often?
