Unique: Yes (Coven DLC Exclusive)

Attack: None

Defense: None

Summary: You are a corrupt librarian working for the Mafia.

Abilities:

- Check someone's will each night.

- Read checked person's will during the day,

Attributes:

- You are immune to control.

- If there are no capable mafia killings left, you will become a Mafioso.

Mechanics:

- Once you check someone, you will be able to select their name by clicking the sun icon during the day. The checked person's will will show up. You may access it whenever you wish.

- The will you see will only include what the person write up to the end of the night that you checked them. To receive an updated will, you must check that person again.

- You will be able to use your day ability to check someone's will even after they die. This is regardless of whether or not they were cleaned/stoned/forged.

Sheriff: Your target is a member of the Mafia!

Investigator: Your target could be a Lookout, Forger, Coven Leader, or Historian.

Consigliere: Your target has access to private documents. They must be a Historian! Pros:

- It could functionally be a.

Cons: 

- It could functionally be a.

To me, this role seems like a more powerful consig. It will automatically find out the true role of people, which really isn't good. And it finds out all the actions the person does. But then once it's introduced and people get used to it, it will become absolutely useless because if a person just puts their will into a notes document then the Historian loses all ability.

So while this looks balanced with a cursory glance, I wouldn't put too much money on it.
