An uncommon role that is almost always anti-Town, the Ninja functions as similar to an Investigation-Immune [[Godfather]]; except instead of always returning an Innocent result to a [[Cop]], it is never seen visiting anyone by a [[Tracker]] and is never seen targeting anyone by a [[Watcher]]. This definition can be expanded depending on the style of information roles in the game such that any investigation into whether a Ninja took an action will always return null results.
A '''Ninja''' is a role or role modifier such that the Ninja will never be seen as targeting anyone by a [[Tracker]], [[Watcher]], or other investigative role along these lines.  It has been likened to the [[Tracker]]/[[Watcher]] equivalent to [[Godfather]].

Ninja is not necessarily aligned against the Town, but that's what happens in practice.

A Ninja is a role or role modifier such that the Ninja will never be seen as targeting anyone by a Tracker, Watcher, or other investigative role along these lines. It has been likened to the Tracker/Watcher equivalent to Godfather.

Ninja is not necessarily aligned against the Town, but that's what happens in practice.

Use and Power

There will almost never be any ill effects to sending a Ninja to perform the Mafia's kill, so as long as the Ninja is alive, Trackers and Watchers will simply never see the Mafia kill. This tremendously decreases the effectiveness of both roles, as they can no longer directly catch scum.

The existence of a Ninja generally implies the existence of a Tracker or Watcher. Arguably, in the current meta the existence of a Watcher implies the existence of a Ninja.
