So I need help with my bbeg. Originally she was an oracle, but in this incarnation of the campaign, psions are allowed...
She enters a town, and becomes a non-denominational religious icon.
People come to her seeking wisdom, and they receive it freely.
The people seeking help don't realise she uses them to get information (probably through straight conversation, with spells as a backup). She has the appearence of a total pacifist, and plays the role of a victim very well.
A LE cult leader (of Zon Kuthon) has identified her, but is foiled at every attempt to destroy her. He doesn't want her outed- He wants her captured or dead. Outing her to the public would ruin the cat and mouse game he enjoys so much.
She's attractive in a girl-next-door kind of way, and relatable to everyone. She is Chaotic Neutral- All she wants is more power, but the campaign revolves around 'shards of power' that fall from the sky.
Eventually, she will send the PCs to find them, but for now (at level 3) shell ask more mundane things, like spying on the LE cult and fetch quests that always are more than they seem.
For game reasons, she needs a really great will and fort save, but feats can augment this.
Was thinking 4 levels of Psion (Telepath) and 4 levels of something great at divination, but I'm not sure. I want her to be a mind-reading and future-telling one trick pony. Level can go a bit higher, but she'll level as the story progresses. (I'm doing the chapter-based leveling, no XP)
Any advice?

Well in my game, telepaths have a 'tell' in that their eyes subtly glow for a second when they use their class ability.
I'd rather her have non-psionic ability. Lately I've been considering sorceror or oracle with the 'psionic talent' feats to get some ability, or the other way around-
Stats aren't a problem, since she can be a 'monster race' that can pass as a more normal humanoid of some sort.
There's already a tiefling and drow noble as major npcs, so they're off the table.
