On the other side, even if it is a rehash of the mayor, it could come in pretty clutch as well.

Especially in coven, this can be used with the ambusher to kill escort, trans, and other town roles that may visit (low chance)

It can also be used as a way to gain majority faster; To win games, in essence, before town even realizes what's going on.

And when you compare it to things like disguiser, ambusher, or even hypnotist, it's better in regards to the win condition or achieving majority.
