Your surroundings abruptly disapear in a wave of dizziness. Once you can see clearly you find yourself before an extraordinarily willowy man some fourteen feet tall, with overly long legs and arms, and an impossibly thin waist. His hairless head, the only unclothed part of him, is covered in wrinkled skin so pale as to be nearly transparent with fine golden veins visible beneath in fantastic patterns. The head appears large in comparison, with a single enormous eye in the middle of his forehead; a pupiless blackness that shines like polished obsdian. The rest is covered in the simplest, most utilitarian of clothing, complete with hood and glove...
Odaiusey, Secret Piercer, All-Seeing Eye, all are names given of this being who seeks the ultimate truth, for evil cannot last long where lies are slain. He is the ultimate judge, juror, and possible executioner, called forth in situations where the truth is so tangled that lesser creatures are incapable of its unraveling. It is in these impossible situations that the Secret Piercer is requested, for through use of the fantastic faculities and unparalleled genius of his mind it is all but unknown for him to fail in his task. By the end he is likely to know more of what transpired than the accused, having exhaustively gone over every detail leading up to the trial, sometimes examining entire lifetimes. When he is through none can truthfully say that there is doubt in the verdict, whatever it may be, and many who even thought themselves guilty have been shown their innocence through his judgement. If the accused is found guilty however, the Odaiusey is the one to dictate the sentence, which in only the rarest situations entitles death. Instead the sentence is meant to bring the accused to make honest ammends and change his ways through his own decisions and enlightenment. Thus justice is more than served, but an ally of good is raised forth. Even when death is the only alternative, even then the Odaiusey prefers to merely imprison them in a world within their own heads, forever trapped amongst their own thoughts, often reliving theor crimes over and over.
An Odaiusey's prefered method of beginning his research into the accuser's past is to discover his true name. Once this is discovered the accuser is transported to his trial, often ignorant of the fact that his life has been closely scrutinized.
Secret Piercers love mysteries, puzzles, and enigmas, and when not within trials, they are found spread across the planes, always seeking answers. Even above evil in their loathing is ignorance, for ignorance and untruth is upon which evil is balanced. Once all mysteries are solved, their solutions showed to all, and false knowledge vanquished shall peace and goodness be freed upon the universe. Or, as they will admit, it would be a start. To think otherwise would be self delusion, which is anethma to all they stand for.
Though secret piercers continuously use their tongues ability to communicate, they also comprehend and understand hundreds if not thousands of other tongues, many forgotten or so ultimately secret that only these beings know of them. The Odaiusey stand some 14 feet tall and weigh around 400 lbs.
Combat:
Despite their love of debte, an Odaiusey has no taste for conflict, relying on their silver tongue and psionics to defuse a hostile situation before it can get out of hand. If worse comes to worse, they teleport away from conflict, unless it would leave a victim to their opponent. Then, and only then, when it is the lesser evil do they bring forth their staff to defend those about them.
Aura of Menace (Su): A righteous aura surrounds archons that fight or get angry. Any hostile creature within a 20-foot radius of an archon must succeed on a DC 19 Will save to resist its effects. Those who fail take a –2 penalty on attacks, AC, and saves for 24 hours or until they successfully hit the archon that generated the aura. A creature that has resisted or broken the effect cannot be affected again by the same archon’s aura for 24 hours.
Elfsight (Ex):
An Odaiusey has almost a sixth sense in reguards to things that don't quite match up. If he passes within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door he is entitled to a Search check to notice it as if he were actively looking for it.
Knowledge Delver (Ex):
An Odaiusey can use any skill as if he had 1/2 rank in that skill. This benefit allows him to attempt checks with skills that normally don't allow untrained skill checks (such as Decipher Script and Knowledge). If a skill doesn't allow skill checks (such as Speak Language), this ability has no effect.
Psi-Like Abilities:
At will - Aura Sight, Empathy, Know Direction and Location, Object Reading, Read Thoughts (DC 22); 3/day - Hypercognition, Remote Viewing (DC 24); 1/day - Metafaculty. Manifester level 18. Save DCs are Intelligence-based.
Psionic Powers: An Odaiusey manifests powers as an 18th-level psion (telepath). The save DCs are Intelligence-based.

Piercing Concentration (Ex):
An Odaiusey may gain psionic focus as a free action.
Secret Piercing (Su):
A secret piercer has a continuous psionic discern lies, true seeing, and zone of truth ability, as the power (manifester level 20).
Teleport (Su): Archons can use greater teleport at will, as the spell (caster level 14th), except that the creature can transport only itself and up to 50 pounds of objects.
Tongues (Su): All archons can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level 14th). This ability is always active.
True Name: An Odaiusey uses Hypercognition and Metafaculty in place of Legend Lore and Commune in their studies.
