Summoner Servant: Ruler
Ruler servants are a supportive servant class that focus not only on healing, but buffing their allies in combat. Additionally, rulers are also very adept at talking, diplomacy, and just being around people. Most Rulers are also plenty capable of fighting for themselves.
When creating a ruler servant, charisma should be the highest stat. Many rulers are generally lawful neutral, though this may not always be the case. A very common trend for Rulers is that these servants have no real wish from a Holy Grail.

spellcasting:
The ruler servant gains a basic form of spellcasting at level 2. They use Charisma as their spellcasting modifier and use the spell list of Bards and Paladins. Their spellcasting focus is different from most others. While they can still use a component pouch, a more theme-fitting focus would be a flag, banner, or standard that they can attach to something like a lance. The spell save DC is 8 + Charisma mod + PB. Their attack modifier is their Charisma mod + your proficiency. Check the following list:
Whenever you level up, you get to switch out any spells for new ones that can be cast. You regain all of their slots after a long rest (8 hours in the ether).
Rulers also gain ritual casting.

class features:
Before hitting level 2, the servant is relatively simple. The servant has its own looks and personality, can use simple weapons, and is first summoned wearing either studded leather or scale mail. Its starting weapon can either be a shortbow with 20 arrows, 2 Handaxes, or a spear and shield. Because the servant is still very much a physical being, it can use other types of gear that it might want to use. They also have a set standard array for their sheet: 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8.
