Silver Crusade

Howdy folks!
im a relatively new GM in pathfinder and am having some balance issues, some of my encounters that need to be epic (masterpiece of the vile necromancer) are laughingly easy (they tripped the poor bugger and proceeded to slaughter it) and some are the exact oppisite (almost TPK by a group of rando zombies anyone?)
just can't seem to get the hang of it...
so i looked around at some guides and they were some help... but there is one thing i cant seem to find so here i am:

The group are 4-5 players at the 5th lvl mostly basic characters and far from min/maxed i need to create 2 NPCs who act as their commanding officers, they need to be rather badass and the two of them should probably be able to beat the group rathar easilly if they were to go up against them (2 VS 5) what level should i put them at? any other feats you would reccomand?

(bonus: one is supposed to be a stategic mastermind and the other a nimble, rapier wielder both are paladins of the main deity for the world)

(bonus #2 for those familliar with magic the gathering and its lore the two im talking about are innistrad's own thalia and odric, for a "shadows over innistrad" campaign im running)

thanks in advance and sorry for the long-ish post!
