Oralie knows all of the Councillors, so it would have to be someone who joined the Council AFTER donating DNA. However, I've had your theory as well: if her biological father is 'normal,' why not tell her? Maybe Mr. Forkle didn't want Sophie to know one parent because then she'd for-sure know it had to be a world-toppling female, but it's still a little shaky. That's why my theories for her biological father are Gethen and Tiergan.

Gethen is a blond Telepath who has been in the series since book 1, yet his origin story is still unknown. He could have donated DNA and then switched sides, and is now hoping to make Sophie want to be a Neverseen member. That would also explain why he went after Oralie in Lodestar - he knew that cutting the crucial link between the Black Swan and the Council would make Sophie more likely to hate the Council if she was getting less support from them.

I don't think it's ever been said that her parents were not a part of the Black Swan (I've checked, but feel free to prove me wrong) so Tiergan is my other theory. He's also a superpowerful blond Telepath who has been in the series since Book 1, yet his origin story is still unknown as well. He definitely supports Sophie and wants to be a part of her life. It would explain what he was hinting at about the secrets he was hiding in Nightfall. He would have to remain anonymous because he's part of the Black Swan, and probably doesn't want Sophie to know because it would just distract her.
