What about Hi Welcome (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=9724.0) at level 3, assuming Magebred and Warbeast apply to animal companions, and you can use Greenbound Summoning?

After all, no one expects the Druid to run the city!

Couple of builds
Enchanter 3, Either with still or silent spell so he doesn't get caught or just simply have him pump the dc as high as possible. He should take detect thoughts as a second level spell.
Warlock: unlimited charm spells, charm is a lesser warlock invocation though

My first thought is something along the lines of a street corner fiddler Bard, using Charms, Suggestions and social skills to pull the strings. Suggestion doesn't take off until ECL 4, but Precocious Apprentice could get it into the game a bit early.

For a slight tweak, Dreamscarred Press's Thoughtsinger (http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/thoughtsinger) is basically just a rehashed psionic bard - a bit more flexible, and a bit more mechanically discrete.

Vampires. They are good for anything. Dominating gaze, spawn, etc. Maybe use a vampire monster class or a lesser form of vampire since you want him to be 3rd level and the vampire has a pretty high level adjustment. Vampires. Good for everything.
