For the new Pathfinder campaign I am working up, it begins in Osirion. I am thinking of having First Speaker Dahnakrist Phi as a major NPC.
Since part of my idea involves one of the party members being unjustly thrown into prison, I am thinking of having Phi use some kind of divination to foresee when people may do things to endanger his political agenda. He then stages events (in the case of the PC, an altercation which will lead to the PC being imprisoned) to change the future.
My question is: Is there anything in Osirioni fluff that would make this a bad idea? I have read both the Osirion book and the Osirion entry in the Inner Sea guide and Phi looks like the most likely candidate because I want the antagonist to be a high-ranking official.

Re Entombed with the Pharaohs Daknakrist Phi is a Commoner 6/Bard 3. This sort of thing would be beyond his abilities, though perhaps not one of his allies.
Well, Phi is essentially the pawn in someone else's game, but that won't be revealed for a while ... That being said, thanks! Would it be beneficial to get Entombed?
It's a great module, but he doesn't play any role in it; his stats are listed in the city write-up for Sothis.
The module is the natural predecessor to Pact-Stone Pyramid, also very good. Both detail aspects of the Four Pharaohs of Ascension, as does Lost Cities of Golarion. Incorporating that storyline/history into your campaign might or might not be a good choice. Certainly some of the servitors of the Four Pharaohs might be linked to your conspiracy.
I have Lost Cities but haven't read the Osirion entry yet. Now I'm glad that I have it!
I found your reference to Dahnakrist Phi (pg 17 of Land Of Pharaohs). Thanks!
