Mafia don: The leader of the mafia. During the night, he sends in the mafia's choice of target to attack, and if other mafia members send in a night action, his choice always overrides theirs.

Mafia goons: The other members of the mafia. May send in the mafia's night action if the mafia don is away. One of the mafia goons at random will become mafia don if the original don is killed.

Terrorist: The terrorist is on the mafia's side; however, they do not know of him, and he does not know who they are (and as such, he may not communicate with them during the night). The terrorist's goal is to ensure that the mafia win, and to achieve this, he has one secret weapon at his disposal: he is a suicide bomber. At any point during the day phase, he may blow himself up and take one player of his choice with him. If the inspector inspects the terrorist, he will be shown as not mafia, and if he dies, he is also shown as not mafia.

Inspector: During the night, he may inspect one player to find out whether they are aligned with the mafia, though certain roles may show misleading information (as described for each role).

Doctors: During the night, each doctor chooses one player, other than himself, to heal. If this player is targeted by the mafia, vigilante or a fishing brother's revenge kill on this night, he does not die. However, if two or more doctors choose to heal the same player, that player overdoses and dies, even if he was not targeted by the mafia.

Lover: On the first night, he picks one player as his lover. From this point on, regardless of either player's previous alignment, their ultimate goal for the game is to be the only two players left, and they may communicate privately with one another at any point during the game. However, if one of them dies, the other immediately dies from grief.

Vigilante: During the night, he may kill one player of his choosing.

Fishing brothers: There are always two of them. Every night, each of them targets one other player of their choosing; if the other fishing brother is killed that night, the live one will kill the player he targeted in revenge.

Escort: During the night, the escort's target's night action (if any) is nullified. The escort's role may also be aligned with the mafia, or there may even be one for each faction, depending on the game master's preferences.

Roleless: I will avoid giving out this role unless every possible role has had the maximum possible players assigned to it (very unlikely). If you get this role, you have no special actions, and will be given a role name that means nothing and is purely for flavor (i.e. shopkeeper etc.) You still have the same win condition as the town faction.

Joker: The Joker has no abilities, and is functionally a roleless innocent. However, the Joker has a different win condition from every other player- the Joker wins the game if they are voted to be lynched.
