Mafia (Support)

Investigator Results:
Sheriff - Your target is suspicious!
Investigator - Your target could be a Sheriff, Executioner, Werewolf, Poisoner, or Ruffian.
Consigliere - Your target confronts people to rid them of important information. They must be a Ruffian.

Achievements:
TBD (suggest unique achievements if you want)

Additional Information:
Technically, you will only get one notification if multiple Ruffians visit you, since only the last one will not get overridden. Ruffian does not have a harmful visit, and so they cannot be counterattacked by a Bodyguard.

Lore:
The Ruffian was always taught that he would never have a bright future if he continued his rough ways. He never cared, and only did once he found himself on the streets. He soon found his way into crime, and the Mafia was fond of new muscle to deal with those pesky Investigators. It paid well and, most importantly, he could indulge in his habit.

This seems like a budget consort.
Wouldn't it be better to directly role block their targets?

I think hypnotist already does this too.

Well it can clear notifications so for example a mafia member can claim to rb the same person and use the ruffian as an excuse as to why the player didnt recieve a notification that they were role blocked.

It kind of is a budget Consort when you look at it as only role blocking TI, but this role can also mess things up. For example, if you rough up the Jailor night 1, you can prevent them from getting any role block messages, meaning none of the Escorts will be confirmed. Hypnotist kind of does this too, in a better way, but is directly countered by Spy. This role will instead get rid of the information instead of planting it, and Spies will not be able to tell if an Escort visited or not. Hypnotist, cannot get rid of the other information, and can only plant new information.

This role is decent. It could be a good addition to the mafia IMO and it fits the mafia well too.

This role could have it's uses other than consort, like for example, it'll get rid of the "You were controlled by a witch" message, which could help the witch a lot if they're working with the mafia. It could also get rid of "You were attacked but nursed back to health," "You were transported to another location," that sort of stuff, so it would stop townies from getting confirmed.

I mean, it might work as a chaos role. Really, no one would even like the role, because no one would bother to remember everything or copy the chat down after each day. It would just make people rage as to why they couldn't remember when that suspicious person claimed.
