I actually agree that it is a kinda weird role to give to town so I can't really argue here.
That said, it is worth considering why I would claim this as my second role if I have said my abilities have been stolen.
If my abilities hadn't been stolen it would have made more sense as the alternative would be faking my second role, or never having claimed to have one at all.
But since I don't need to prove that I ever had this role any more, it would make much more sense for me to claim something that is easier to justify as town.
I know this delves into WIFOM territory but eh.
Fair enough, people have been talking about protecting me etc so I probably misinterpreted that.
