Overview

The Consigliere is an Investigator affiliated with the Mafia. The role can investigate a target every night to determine clues pertaining to the target's role or be revealed the role itself depending on the settings.

Strategy

• The primary strategy for a Consigliere is to determine which players are in possession of power roles for the town, and thus have them killed at night.

• A Consigliere may also choose to act as an Investigator on behalf of the town, hence revealing people's roles or stipulating that perhaps the player with knives is a Serial Killer, or the player with weapons is a Mafioso as opposed to a Vigilante. It is generally difficult to out players unless they are guaranteed neutral roles such as a Executioner or Jester. A Consigliere choosing to utilize this strategy must be wary of Sheriffs as they can investigate you and lift your facade.

• If the Mafia also has a Janitor, then the Consigliere may also investigate the person marked for death to determine a safe role for the Mafia members to claim when on trial or tell when a power role dies so the Mafia members can be more outspoken during the day.

• Advanced/Situational strategy: If you find someone with knives the first or second night, reveal as investigator and PM the target (or reveal it publicly depending on the circumstances). If you were convincing, you may have yourself a pocket doctor until the end. Even if your target was a Serial Killer, any other doc will probably heal you and the Serial Killer will have to avoid hitting you unless he wants to reveal himself.
