A maniac whose allegiance lies with Jack the Ripper. He wins if Jack wins, even if he gets voted out himself.
At the start of each game, players are assigned a role at random.
Then, everyone places their token on a London tile of their choosing.
Once they have done so, night will fall, and Jack the Ripper will commit his first murder. (In certain cases, there will be no murder during the first night)
The detectives located near the crime scene will become suspects. Who's on justice's side? Who's the murderer among us?
After the second murder, the voting phase starts. Everyone has to vote for the person that they think is secretly Jack the Ripper.
This is where the real battle of wits between the detectives and Jack starts.
