Paizo modules, adventure paths, or PFS scenarios that feature an NPC using an archetype?

Does anyone know of a Paizo-published module, adventure path, or Pathfinder Society scenario that features at least one NPC using one or more archetypes? I have a specific (but largely uninteresting) reason for asking, but I just found it weird that I hadn't personally come across any NPCs yet that took advantage of what seems such an integral part of Pathfinder.

Archetypes came into existence in August 2010, so you won't find any in earlier books.

I've grabbed a random post-APG Pathfinder book. It's Wake of the Watcher. We have a Rogue (thug) and Barbarian (savage barbarian).

Then I took Forest of Spirits. Ninja (duh...), Hungry Ghost Monk, Scarred Rager Barbarian, Samurai (double duh), Swashbuckler Rogue, Polearm Master Fighter...

There's a Scrollmaster in my PFS scenario (Icebound Outpost).

Rise of the Rune Lords Anniversary Edition makes heavy use of archetypes. All of the Thassilonian mages are Thassilonian Specialists, for example.


If I recall correctly, NPCs with archetypes are meant to be the exception rather than the norm, both for space saving, as well as some in-world reasons.
