The Forensic Investigator is an investigative role that can target a dead player to learn the names of everyone who targeted that dead player since the beginning of the game. For instance, if Player A Tracks Player B on Night 1, Player C Jails Player B on Night 2, Scum D kills Player B on Night 3, and Forensic Investigator E examines Player B on Night 4; Player E will receive a result saying that players A, C, D, and E targeted Player B at some point. Despite how this example turned out, the order in which the names are listed should be arbitrary (that is, not exactly in the order in which they targeted the player).

Votes do not count as targeting actions for purposes of this role.

This role is usually pro-Town, but has potential as an anti-Town role.

Standard version

The Forensic Investigator may target a dead player at Night, thus discovering the list of every player that visited the target while they were alive since the beginning of the game, sorted in a random order.

Variations

If votes did cause a player to show up on a Forensic Investigator's result, it would be amusing. However, this can be gamed via pseudovotes if made public.
