The Syndicate

Cool crossover quasi-reference: The Yin and Yang roles from Mafia: A World Apart:

Yin – White twin, has BTSC with Yang. Looks good on odd nights, bad on even nights. Seeming alignment becomes permanent if Yang dies.

Yang – Black twin, has BTSC with Yin. Looks good on even nights, bad on odd nights. Seeming alignment becomes permanent if Yin dies.

If both Yin and Yang are alive, they may discover one player’s alignment each night. Yin and Yang do not join a team while both are alive. They can win by being the last players alive, but if one dies, the other’s alignment is stuck (if evil, the team they join will be decided by a coin toss). Yin and Yang can kill one another on any night they choose.

These roles worked out SO WELL in that game... Yin killed Yang one night, and told people he did it because Yang was going to kill him and turn evil, so Yin had to pre-empt it and kill Yang, becoming Civvie.

The truth was that Yin killed Yang on a night that Yin was evil, and he joined a baddie team and really threw everyone for a loop, becoming a trusted Civvie at the same time he joined the baddies. It was epic.
