The Necromancer

The Necromancer is a Villager that has the option, once a game, to return one player that died recently to life. The Moderator must wake the Necromancer up before any other character to prevent the dead player from witnessing any other player's roles.

The only players that can be resurrected are the player that was lynched immediately before the night cycle began and a player that was killed on the previous night. Those players shouldn't have been able to watch a full nighttime cycle.

The Necromancer tilts the balance toward the Villagers. The can choose to keep put a special Villager back in the game. This may not be quite as powerful as it seems, because the resurrected player is almost certainly going to die again as soon as the Werewolves get a chance to choose a victim.

The Necromancer is significantly less powerful in a no reveal game.
