This is not an archetype per se, it is only a costume example. However, if you are playing an archetype and your character is from Morocco, you may substitute a costume similar to the ones shown below for any archetype costume. Remember, you can't be from Puerto de Maio, but you can be from anywhere else in Morocco.

Sidekick
You're the power behind the throne, go-to guy, the grace under pressure. Loyal, trustworthy, and skilled beyond their imaginings, they'd never survive without you - even if they don't know it.
