Welcome to the game; you are the Butcher.
You’re no werewolf, but sometimes you wish you were. Sure, you’d have a canine snout, oversized teeth, and a full body coat of fur… an improvement like that to your physical appearance would do wonders for your social life. You’re the town butcher, oversized and sweaty, and your many open sores weep into the bloody cuts of meat you dismember as graphically as our R-rating and limited effects budget will allow. Thanks to your questionable appearance and close personal relationship with your cleaver, you are looked upon with fear and distrust by the residents of this Nameless Village in the Woods; but beneath your hulking exterior beats the heart of a loyal townie. You’d do anything to protect your fellow villagers… including, if necessary, chopping a few of them up like sirloin.
You know the threats facing the Town are many. The Wolves, of course, are fearsome. But late last night, on one of your late-night waste disposal errands, you saw… something else. Something worse than the wolves. A killer. One that won’t rest until village and wolfpack alike have been decimated, until it can satisfy its own grotesque ends.
Blood is inevitable… might as well turn it toward the side of good, while you can. Good luck!

WIN CONDITION:
You are Town. You win when all Scum are dead, if and only if no third party win condition triggers before or simultaneously with yours.
SPECIAL ABILITIES:
There are two things that make you special: a bit of knowledge and a power. The bit of knowledge is this: there is a Serial Killer in this game, and he, she, or it will win exclusively if he, she, or it is still alive when either the Town or Scum win condition is met. You do not know if any other than yourself have this information; do with it as you will.
Meanwhile, you are a Vigilante, and as the game begins, you are a Compulsory one at that. Each Night, you must target a player of your choice and kill them until they are dead. This power may not work on the Alpha Wolf, though it will work on the Serial Killer unless you are blocked or (s)he is protected.
You are driven to help your village via indiscriminate chopping, but this will not always be so. Once the Serial Killer is dead by any means and you have yourself killed at least one non-Town player of any stripe, your Nightly kills go from compulsory to optional.
