But this role really feels like a Deception role for me as it's creates chaos, and spread misinformation among town. Well, avoid roles that counter one role. Countering lookout is a pretty situational use.

Also, Mafia Deception roles aren't designed to create chaos. Their core mechanics are made to fool the town. Mafia Support roles are just roles that don't fit in the Mafia Killing and Mafia Deception Categories. "Support" is a pretty broad term, so all roles that are Mafia roles that don't try and fool the town are just put there.

I do see why you'd call this role a Deception role, but the role doesn't seem reliant on spreading misinformation OR creating chaos, given how situational it is. This role seems more like a "buffer" role that essentially makes somebody that much more powerful.
