Alignment: Mafia Support

Summary: You are an observer that tamed an eagle that views people's actions in the night to alert crime gangs in the town. What?

Abilities: Each night you can send your eagle to visit someone. If anyone visits your target your eagle will alert you.

For example: You will send your eagle to 9's house tonight. Your eagle spotted 7 visiting 9!

The eagle visiting your target is an astral visit since you are not actually visiting your target.

Goal: Kill anyone that won't submit to the Mafia.

Sheriff: Your target is a member of the Mafia!

Invest: Your target is a Spy, Blackmailer, Jailor, Watcher, or a Guardian Angel

Witch: Your target has a pet eagle that watches the town's actions. They must be a Watcher!

Where's the Attack and Defense?

So we had an evil Investigator and an evil Escort but this idea is an evil Lookout. '''Read the rules about submitting roles. Rehashes are generally frowned upon.''' As much as I wanted to put this with the Lookout in the Investigator results but that's 3 evils in the results so that doesn't work. '''Yet there's an investigative result that only consisted of evil roles before the Coven extension. (Framer/Vampire/Jester)''' So yeah this role doesn't actually visit people just like how the Consigiliere gets the exact role of their target. Now please give me your thoughts on this role. Thoughts? To be honest, I'm not very impressed. First of all, I don't know how an eagle would communicate with a human (ok maybe I'm being too literal). Second of all, I don't see the point in having a Mafia Lookout. Sure, you may be able to catch the Jailor or the Vigilante, but other than that? All it would do is add an extra backup Mafioso if the old one dies. I think a Mafia Tracker would be way more helpful, but since rehashes are generally turned away, I can't see that happening.
