Not a good idea.

Survivors cannot do anything for the town except vote with them, which is why they get hung frequently. They also have a unique quality of simply being able to choose anyone to live provided that they win.

Amnesiacs can do things for the town, but they can't go back on their promise, and if someone is needed to prove themself by choosing a role, it's not only the town that knows who they are, it's also the mafia.

The accompanier sounds like it can both be indifferent about what side it takes, and can also outright prevent people from completing certain goals. This shouldn't be in the Benign category because the definition of benign implies (at least in this circumstance) that it is "not harmful in effect." The accompanier has the ability to cause harm for either side, and also has the freedom that the Survivor has. Yes, I do know it does not have night immunity, so it's technically stoppable, but the danger involved with publically declaring a side as a survivor makes you an immediate target for the opposing side. This most oftenly happens in 3 man standoffs, usually after one out of four people left gets hanged. One town, one mafia, one survivor. The survivor can't prevent anyone from attempting to kill him (unless he has vests) and publically declares that he is siding with the town. He has no vests left, and gets killed by the mafia the next day. Mafia wins.

In this same situation, the accompanier can simply roleblock the opposition and stay alive much easier. There has to be a risk in these particular standoffs, else the role is unnecessary or overpowered.
