The Possessed: A deranged lunatic possessed by a malevolent spirit.

Alignment: Neutral Killing

Story: The Possessed was once a normal child, but after witnessing his father's murder at the hands of his mother, his sanity fractured. As he grew up, he began to communicate with an invisible friend known only as "Marker", who would help him through the tough periods of his life. But Marker took a dark turn when children the Possessed didn't like would begin to commit suicide, and would be found with strange markings on their bodies. When the Possessed was brought in, Marker killed everyone, and the two escaped to a little town called Salem.

Nighttime Ability: Can "mark" targets, which will cause them to commit suicide the following night. If a marked target is lynched before they can commit suicide, then on the night they should have committed suicide the Possessed can mark two targets. If he suspects that he is being targeted, then he can use his second ability which causes all marked targets to "flock" him. If he is flocked then he is night immune, but he cannot mark a target on a flocked night and when he is flocked, all still living marked will have their nights until suicide raised by one: for example, if a marked was meant to die the night the Possessed made them flock, then they will instead die the following night.

Dead Ability:  If the Possessed is killed, then whilst dead they can choose one person to die. That person's death message will say that "The Marker got their revenge".

Attributes:

- The Marked are immune at night. The Possessed is not.

- The Possessed is immune to consorts and escorts. If one visits him, they will get a message saying: Your target touched your soul and banished you from their home.

- The Marked can still use their normal nighttime abilities, regardless of whether or not they flocked or committed suicide.

- The Marked will always, immediately know that they have been marked.

- The Possessed is a unique role.

- Marking counts as visiting someone - if you mark them, then the Lookout can watch you, the Werewolf and Veteran can kill you, nada-nada.

Goal: Kill everyone and be the last one standing.

If the Possessed is investigated:

Investigator: Your target is dabbling with the supernatural. They could be a Medium, Retributionist, or Possessed.

Sheriff: Your target is not suspicious.

Consigliere: Your target has an imaginary friend. They are Possessed!
