To psion. He has the inteligence for it, and right now he doesn't seem to care about anyone exept Haley and Roy, who are MIA

Does anyone else agree?

Being psychic isn't decided on whether or not you have the intelligence/wisdom/charisma/stat to become one. You don't just become psychic, you have to be born that way and if V were psychic, the signs would have manifested by now.

Unless of course you decide to multiclass to a psychic class, in which case it turns out that you really are psychic and something you've done has awakened your power. Or it's a trainable ability and you've been studying it. That's how multiclassing works in 3rd Edition; it doesn't really matter what the justification is, if you decide to take the class you get whatever backstory is needed. There was a strip about it fairly early on.

On topic, no. V shouldn't pick up an entirely new casting (manifesting) progression class. That would be insanity, from a mechanics and optimization viewpoint. It'd start him way back at 1st-level effects and pretty well prevent him from ever gaining enough power to crack an Epic effect.

Aside from it being a bad idea, what does only caring about Haley and Roy have to do with anything?

The standard advice is that a class with full caster levels should not multiclass into anything that dilutes those levels. Taking some levels of pison means V will never cast Discern Location, a spell that is likely of great interest to her at the moment. He is not going to abandon that chance for the sake of a couple of first level effects.
