Consigliere

The man grew up in the town as an average kid with an average childhood and an average education. The same monotonous routine of his daily life was simple day after day until he decided on a goal to finally strive for. He decided to become a private investigator like on the detective shows his parents would occasionally watch. In his young adult years he had followed around a man he revered as the best investigator in town who had subdued numerous criminals and psychopaths in his career. By following the investigator, he slowly built up a well of knowledge in how to properly find information and people’s secrets. The man rose to the top in popularity as an outstanding detective resolving many cases over his young adult career. At the age of 31, he chose to test himself by attempting to investigate the man he had previously worshiped as his inspiration only to discover the dirty truth. “I just couldn’t believe any of it; the lies that created the very foundation of this town, it was all just so… despicable. It had all been covered up. The sheriff, jailor, and even the Mayor had all hidden what this investigator had done in order to protect the so-called justice of this filthy place.” He then turned to the only people in the town who probably knew this truth alongside him: the people revered as pure evil, the mafia. With his expertise in the field of investigation, he tracked down the Godfather and asked of him one simple request: “Help me destroy this town.”

Strategy

 * As a Consigliere, you can be one of the most useful members of the mafia, as you are able to determine the EXACT role of your investigated target. This means that you can provide a massive amount of information quickly. You are especially useful because you can provide leads for the mafia's activities at night.
 * Deception Strategy: If an Investigator claims that you may be Consigliere, say you are not by showing the town an evil role and getting them hung. (Other than your mafia friends) If you find a Neutral Killing such as the Serial Killer; proclaiming yourself as an Investigator on the second day and lynching the Serial Killer can be an excellent way to make the Town gain trust in you. Once proven, you can lead the town in lynching Neutrals; while the Godfather and Mafioso remove troublesome Townies.
 * Staying Hidden Strategy: Be sure to always claim you are Investigator, unless that isn't possible in this game (if there is a Janitor and you found an Investigator, it is a good idea to kill the Investigator and make the Janitor clean him so you can claim you're Investigator without any suspicion). Also, if you found a Serial Killer, Arsonist, or even a Town role that could be bad (Eg., Doctor can also be a Serial Killer if investigated) you can ask them their role, claim your investigation message, and possibly even provide false information in order to make the Town lose trust in what they're saying to possibly get them lynched. Changing your investigation results to match that of an Investigator's (Eg., Your target works with dead bodies, they must be a Medium or Janitor) and conversing this way with a revealed Town member is a great way to earn trust as an Investigator, which helps the Mafia out in the long run.
 * Avoiding Spies: If you investigate someone one night and whisper to them as an invest, Spy can notice the correspondence of the mafia visit of a consigliere and your whispers. Since a Spy can easily prove himself, a spy who notices can easily get you lynched. When you investigate, mix up the order of people you whisper (not night-by-night) so that spies get thrown off.
 * Also, try to avoid sharing people's roles with the mafia unless absolutely necessary. If a spy listens to the conversation, it ruins the point of cleaning said person, reveals the presence of a Consigliere, and also gives the Town another person to trust.
 * Additionally, if you find a Serial Killer, Arsonist, or Werewolf, be careful when trying to get him lynched the next day. A spy would know a mafia visited that person and would assume you are a consigliere.


 * Wills: If you keep a log of investigations in your will, and someone that you've checked has died. Delete that persons entry and replace their name with the name of a fellow Mafia member, giving a false role. People almost always believe last wills utterly, so this can be used to give your fellow mafia additional cover in case you die.
 * Additionally, you can use the above trick to trick the town into lynching the wrong person. (Finding a Jester, but saying he's a Serial Killer, or listing an Executioner as a Sheriff), so they have a better chance at lynching a Town member. In the case of the Executioner, this tactic is golden for gaining his support, as if a living mafia members points out their part in the Exe's lynch of their target, they are likely to join the mafia in terms of voting. Do keep in mind though, that the Executioner could instantly rat you out. At the very least, the distrust created by the will, even if it leads to no lynching, will waste time during the day.
 * Be warned about placing the names of mafia members in your will as those you have investigated in place of a dead person. A smart Spy can notice that said person was not visited by the mafia and put two and two together. Although phenomenal spies like this are rare, keep this in mind.
 * Make sure to always make your will like an Investigator would in case you are pressed to paste it in chat, but leave some sort of code so that the mafia know exactly what role the person is but not a glancing townie. (Ex. N2: Jimbob - veteran/vig/maf; N3: Mary - Jailor/Bg/Lk; in this case, the full word that is first indicates the role.) But watch out: if your selection of a true role becomes obvious: you can be called out as Consigliere by some of the smarter players.
