 The Enthraller is a lite-Converter type mask that generally throws a wrench into things while not completely taking over roundflow. Because the objective doesn't state the Enthraller's name, multiple thralls may have to convene and share their clues to figure out who it is.
 
 Enthralling someone, in many cases, can lead to interesting situations. A traitor with an objective to murder the Enthraller may find themselves a thrall, or in general any mask hunting the Enthraller over a grudge or suspicion might find themselves in their grasp instead. Because becoming a thrall doesn't change your mask, characters with wildly diverging goals may find themselves aligned on the task of trying to prevent the Enthraller's death by any means--and medbay could become swarmed by a group of thralls all trying to keep them alive.

 Historically, most of the Jester masks used to simply be [crew](crew.md) masks, but this had a few drawbacks.

 ## Gameplay
 The Subverter has a lot of interesting, granular strategy that can be employed on their side. Since your microchips are limited, you might want to save your chip for an important target - or maybe you just give it to the first person you see, out of desperation, since you're losing and need to enact a desperate play.

 The superfan wins with their current troupe, so if the traitors don't **all** die, they still win with the crew. This is not necessarily traditional to the werewolf role (aptly named [Traitor](https://werewolf.chat/Traitor)) this mask is based on, but is necessary due to the outstanding impact even a [Recruit](recruit.md) can have on the game.
