A Redirector is a role that takes all actions that target one player at Night, and redirects them so that they target a second player instead.
Variations
A Redirector may or may not be able to target themselves.
Very rarely, a Redirector will, instead of redirecting all Night actions that targeted a specific player, redirect all Night actions performed by a specific player. This role is rare enough that there is no unique name given to this role.
A Bus Driver is a Redirector who swaps all actions performed on two players -- all actions that target the first player now target the second, and all actions that target the second now target the first. This swapping of two targets is referred to as "driving".
Use and Power
In the majority of cases, players are not informed that their Night actions were redirected. There is no consensus about whether an investigative role should be made aware of this redirection via their report or not; see Dealing with Scum Bus Drives.
Note that a Redirector can function as a very powerful protective role, as the player targetted essentially becomes untargetable by Night actions. A Town Redirector can use their power on a Cop and make them immune to both kills and roleblocks, protecting them even better than a Doctor could.
