In 1e CRB there were various backgrounds and general blocks for NPC's whom you may want to use for balance (i.e., expert, aristocrat, soldier). Does that exist in 2e CRB? I am wanting the Half-Orc archivist to go with the group to the citadel but can't find anywhere a guide on how to build an NPC that is classless.

No it did not make it into the CRB, it will be in the book for DMs

That's Gamemastery Guide material, but you may be in luck---they just released the Building Monsters (including NPCs) rules section, for free. See this blog post. If you need the NPC Gallery you'll have to wait for the actual GMG.
