Jailor- All someone has to claim is "I was jailed". This role is now known

Vampire Hunter- Unless you 100% know your target is a vampire, this role is now known.

Veteran- The person you killed visited somebody that is not the veteran or the confirmd veteran? This role is now known.

Vigilante- Vigilante doesn't commit suicide after shooting a townie? This role is now known.

Serial Killer- Another NK death? This role is now known.

Werewolf- Somebody visited your target and they didn't die? This role is now known.

Arsonist- One death from an arsonist.... This role is now known.

Bodyguard- Bodyguard isn't dead either and the Doctor says that they did not get a message saying that their target was nursed back to health? This role is now known.

Crusader- This is the only role that this could kind of work with but if the mafia kills a role that can't visit then this role is no known.

(Note: this is only a partial list that was copypasted from somewhere else. Still, you get the idea; the role will be found out unless you play it perfectly, and even if you do, then what? I agree with everything that you say. The point of Mafia Deception roles is that their abilities are supposed to deceive and confuse the town on who is who. This role makes the town automatically know one of the roles that the Mafia has and just does more harm then good for the Mafia. You can argue that Janitor also gives the town a confirmed Mafia role in the game but it's abilities give more claim space and makes it easier for the Mafia to claim roles and it gives the town less information if the Mafia kills a TI.
