Role: HItman (Town: Killing)

Precondition: There is a Mayor in the game.

This role is unique.

Summary: The Hitman is a vigilante hired by the Mayor to do his dirty work.

Abilities: 

– This role does not go into effect until the Mayor reveals.

– Once the Mayor reveals, you will chat with the Mayor every night. The Mayor's name will be "Mayor" and your name will be "Hitman".

– You and the Mayor can both vote each night to attack someone, like vampires or the mafia. And like the mafia, the Mayor functions as the Godfather except stronger because if they target someone, you must kill them even if the Mayor is roleblocked.

Attributes:

– Until such time as the Mayor reveals, you will just be a townsperson with a vote and cannot do anything at night.

– In the case of the Mayor dying before he reveals, such as disconnecting or just unlucky, you will turn into a Vigilante, like a Vampire Hunter would if the vampires were all dead.

– You and the Mayor can attack as many times as you want.

– If you and the Mayor kill a town member, neither of you can vote the next day.

– You cannot target the Mayor, unless you are controlled or the transporter transports the Mayor with your target.

– If the revealed Mayor is attacked, you will die instead of the Mayor. In the case of a Bodyguard protecting the Mayor, the bodyguard and the attacker will be killed instead of you. In the case of the Mayor being Jailed, nobody will die unless it was a Werewolf, then the Jailor will die.

– If you die, then the Mayor will no longer be able to attack people at night or chat with you.
