The Aristocrat was one of several NPC Classes introduced in Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition. They have an unusual combination of decent (4+int) skills and proficiency with everything but exotic weapons but with only medium BAB which oddly enough makes the class fit minor Samurai, who trained in martial skill as a matter of class, better than European nobles (for whom swordplay was a popular but not universal hobby). Nobles tend to belong to this NPC class, but could also serve as an officer to a group of Warriors.
Unsurprisingly, they also have the highest starting gold of any 3.5e class.
