If you made it occur with alignments, then what does the role and its purpose become? It's just a tool for limiting claimspace.

Limiting claimspace is not needed in the game's balance right now. Evils already have a tough time making up solid answers that keep the heat off them due to the current investigative roster, especially Investigator who tunnels an evil into a few claims or sometimes just one. Then you got Sheriff that smashes through everything and catches the evils, and then Spy who completely nullifies successful frames, disguises and sometimes forges in addition to limiting BMers, consorts and consiglieres by adding a risk to their actions. Why do we need another role that limits the mafia in their answers against the Town?

The role's fundamental use just doesn't fit anywhere in the game. The alignments limit claimspace and confirm people, but so do the other investigatives. The role adds nothing new, it fills no gaps and is only toppling over an already filled bowl.
