Considering the spell lists being brought up for this concept, you may consider making him a bard or variant-bard. A character with high Intimidate, Bluff, Gather Info, Sense Motive, Diplomacy, Know(Local) & Know(Nobility), bardic knowledge and some divination and enchantment spells can be a very effective despot who collects "dirt" on everyone and blackmails everyone. He knows all of your secrets, all of your weaknesses, all of your crimes, and only asks you to do a few "favors" for him in exchange for not revealing your secrets. And just for fun he may Disguise himself and organise his own rebellion just to learn even more interesting secrets about potential enemies.
In a game I played in, Ipnu the All Seeing was effectively controlling a town with his crystal ball and detect thoughts. He was a bard.
Although bards make better "cult leaders" than "despots". Everyone loves him and willingly enslaves themselves to him.
