Mentor
Alias: none
Alignment:
Role type:
  • Manipulative
  • Killing
Choice:
  • Night

One of Xylthixlm's insane role ideas, first implemented for his IRC bot under the name Evil Mastermind, and later independently invented by Vi and used in Mafia ViPod. The concept behind it was to create the most acceptable Cult; however, Mentors can feasibly take any alignment.

At Night a Mentor can recruit one (and only one) other player, henceforth called the Mentee (on IRC it is called Evil Minion). If the Mentor dies, the Mentee will commit suicide and that's the end of the group. If the Mentee dies, the Mentor must recruit another one at the next available opportunity. If the Mentor already has a Mentee, the recruit ability may be replaced by another ability (typically a night kill).

Because of this one-way relationship, the Mentor gains a huge amount of power over whoever is recruited. In addition, solo Mentors are effectively scumgroups unto themselves with a masked kill in their recruitment. Thus, anti-Town Mentors are more powerful than your average Mafia - if slightly riskier.
