The [[FBI Agent]] is an investigative role that is searching for a specific role (usually [[Serial Killer]]). A player with this role can target a player each [[night]] and get a result on whether or not the targetted player is a [[Serial Killer]]. All non-Serial Killer targets investigated ([[Mafia]] or [[Town]]) will return a negative result.
An '''FBI Agent''' is an investigative role that only receives "Guilty" (or equivalent; see [[Cop#Variations|Cop]]) results on [[SK|Serial Killers]].


If the Serial Killer dies, then FBI Agent typically becomes either a [[Sane Cop]] or a [[Vanilla Townie]].
FBI Agent is almost always pro-Town.
 
==Variations==
Some moderators will, once the SK dies, revert FBI Agent to a [[Cop]] or [[Vanilla]].  This is technically bad form, as it eliminates the possibility of multiple Serial Killers.
 
==Use and Power==
FBI Agent is one of the least-used power roles due to the infrequency of its success and its ability to shut down an entire faction if it is successful.  Serial Killer is generally hard to win as to begin with, so unless the SK is very powerful, FBI Agent is not easy to rationalize in a setup.
 
As a result, games with FBI Agent are somewhat evenly split between those that have Serial Killers and those that don't.  Unless there is evidence of an SK potentially being in the setup, FBI Agent is essentially a [[Named Townie]].

An FBI Agent is an investigative role that only receives "Guilty" (or equivalent; see Cop) results on Serial Killers.

FBI Agent is almost always pro-Town.

Variations

Some moderators will, once the SK dies, revert FBI Agent to a Cop or Vanilla. This is technically bad form, as it eliminates the possibility of multiple Serial Killers.

Use and Power

FBI Agent is one of the least-used power roles due to the infrequency of its success and its ability to shut down an entire faction if it is successful. Serial Killer is generally hard to win as to begin with, so unless the SK is very powerful, FBI Agent is not easy to rationalize in a setup.

As a result, games with FBI Agent are somewhat evenly split between those that have Serial Killers and those that don't. Unless there is evidence of an SK potentially being in the setup, FBI Agent is essentially a Named Townie.
