Don't be fooled by the name, it's probably not what you think.

- Consigliere: Your target is looking for someone to convert. They must be a Vampire Elder.
Additional Information (comments):
Depending on the target, the Vampire Elder will get messages such as:
Mafia, Witch, permanent Night Immunity roles: "Your target is not suitable for conversion"
Vampire Hunter: "Your target reeks, better stay away from it"
Anything else: "Your target is an ideal prey"
Vampire Elder counts as Vampire in the maximum cap 4.
Vampire Elder doesn't vote for the next person to bite. He isn't staked if he visits the Vampire Hunter, but still is if the Vampire Hunter visits him.
If an amnesiac choose Vampire Elder, he will get Vampire instead.
Reason for idea:
As it is, playing Vampire feels like playing Mafia with 1 Mafioso and 3 Forgers. One does the actual killing/conversion and the others are there mostly for voting majority.
Also, Vampire should have some ability to (kind of) plan their next target ahead. In end game, mostly in All Any, most of the people remaining are either Mafia, Neutral Killing or Town roles about to get kill by the first two.
At that point, it's hard to come back since Vampires can't kill and most of the remaining roles are immune to their attacks.
Debatable Things:
Vampires are quite new so maybe people are just not as skilled enough with them as with other roles.
Should it have night immunity? Mafia Support like abilities? Should he die if he visits the Vampire Hunter? Should he votes for the next target?
These points might be debatable once we know if this kind of role can be include in the game. (Or is needed)
TL;DR: A role to spot suitable target for conversion
