Faction Leader (Townsfolk) By Ellie (silverrzz)
A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don`t necessarily want to go, but ought to be.
Overview
The Faction Leader is a powerful information character that can crack open worlds and find out exactly who is who.
A demon checked by the Faction Leader who learnt they are not a Minion will have no fear if the evil Demon tries to claim Goblin. It allows precise world building and an easy dismissal of solutions submitted by the evil team.
The Faction Leader can clear good players by the masses if they are on the backfoot. The Storyteller has agency over what character types are shown, and if needed, the Faction Leader can clear many players from being demon candidates very quickly.

Examples

- The Faction Leader checks the Mutant and the Devils Advocate, they learn that neither is a Townsfolk.
- The Faction Leader checks the Po and the Goon (and is then drunked), they learn that neither is a demon.

How To Run
Do not add more than one Outsider using this character. It should only add 1 Outsider when the count is otherwise 0.
The information learned by the Faction Leader is incredibly powerful, and can swing the balance of the game, so make sure you`re giving the right information.
You don`t want to make the character useless by consistently showing that neither character is an Outsider, occasionally give good world building information that really helps the good team.

Tip
As the Faction Leader, try to avoid being killed, your information gets exponentially more valuable the more you get.
