Basing a role off of RNG means that the player has nothing to do, this role is literally the intellectual equivalent of flipping a coin. Also, it's a bit vague– if you don't guess the role correctly, what role do you see? Is it randomly selected from all possible roles? All possible roles in the current game you're in? There are too many unanswered questions. Lastly, the investigation results are missing. Those generally are needed because they serve as an important part of balancing the role. By that logic, there's no skill required in Sheriff, Investigator, Consligere, Escort or Consort either.

And by that logic, all five of those roles are RNG.

This role is bad for one reason: You can't rely on your results at all. It has a chance to be incorrect so you can never accuse someone based on your results.
