Tracker
A silent guardian who sees through the shadows to expose the hidden enemy.
The Tracker is a specialized Crewmate role introduced to add depth to investigation and deduction gameplay. Unlike standard crew members who rely solely on visual confirmation or emergency meetings, this role possesses a unique passive ability to monitor the movements of Impostors in real-time. Their primary function is to act as a living radar for the hidden enemy, providing crucial intelligence that can turn the tide of a mission before an elimination occurs.

Lore & Background
Despite their powerful ability, Trackers live with the constant anxiety of discovery. An Impostor who realizes they are being followed may alter their behavior, feigning innocence or avoiding areas where the Tracker is known to be patrolling. This creates a psychological cat-and-mouse game that goes beyond simple task completion. The existence of a Tracker on board often forces Impostors to work in tighter coordination or adopt more aggressive elimination strategies to neutralize this threat before they can reveal too much information.
In Their Own Story
The airlock hissed shut, sealing the silence of Electrical. Crewmate Blue stood frozen, their visor reflecting the blinking lights of the console. Suddenly, a soft pulse on their wrist display flared red—not an alert from a task, but the signature of the enemy. Somewhere in the dark corridor ahead, an Impostor was moving, unaware that their every step was being mapped by Blue's suit. The Tracker didn't run; they simply adjusted their course, walking calmly toward the danger with the certainty of a hunter who had already found their prey.
Reader's Guide
As a Tracker, your objective is to identify and help eliminate Impostors while ensuring all tasks are completed. Your unique ability allows you to see an icon or indicator on your map whenever an Impostor is nearby, regardless of whether they are visible to the naked eye.
Use this information strategically by patrolling high-traffic areas where Impostors might attempt sabotage or kills. If you detect a signal, do not immediately accuse; instead, observe their movements and report suspicious behavior during meetings with concrete evidence of location tracking.
Your win condition remains tied to the Crewmate faction: either finish all assigned tasks or vote out every Impostor. However, your survival is critical, as losing the Tracker removes the crew's primary source of real-time intelligence.
