Sneak

The Sneak is an innocent role that plays an important part in the game. Each night, the Sneak chooses somebody who he or she wants to search that night, and sends the target choice to the host. When the next day begins, the Sneak is sent a message by the host explaining what was found the previous night.

Whereas innocents search specific areas, the Sneak is able to search a specific person, and can ascertain the role of the person searched from what was discovered. Depending on who is searched, the role can be invaluable to the Innocents. However, depending on the rules of the game, if role-revealing isn't allowed, the Sneak has to find other ways of convincing the Innocents (other than telling them straight out, else risk dying) who the wolves are.

In many games, if the Sneak reveals his or her role it could result in the inability to be protected by an Angel for the rest of the game. If the game is nearing its conclusion, the Sneak has little to lose by role-revealing and releasing the information, provided it's enough to help the Innocents noticeably. Additionally, as with any of the other roles, the Sneak can be converted to the Wolf team if not protected by the Angel, although this will commonly results in the loss of the Sneak's powers.
