One of the many roles suggested by Michael Hoffmann, of Germany. The role was originally created by both Albert Ziegler junior and senior. More information can be found at this site.

The Freelancer is a third party. He wins when he is first "killed" by the Mafia at night (though he does not die) and later lynched by the civilians. In this case all other players loose the game.

If he is killed twice by the Mafia, or if he is lynched before he is killed by Mafia, he looses the game. To give the Freelancer a chance to get lynched during the day the angel detects him as "mafia".

This role would work best with a Bulletproof Vest, since "no one died last night" could mean either the Freelancer or the Bulletproof Vest was targeted.
