Deathsword
People back at home in Indiana thought you were a bad omen. Anyone who did you wrong would disappear after a while. You were going to take out old Josiah Hicks after he messed with you, but he was a cunning man, and when the draft came and Josiah was appointed head of the board, your name magically came up as a draftee. After your commander officer tragically died after he had threatened to court martial you, you were transferred out West. Angered that this search for Confederate spies might kill you before you can cross out Josiah Hicks from your book, you have decided to use your skills to help you get out of this mess. A single well-placed accident should sort out the spy problem.

Silthuri
A poor farmer from Illinois, you had tried to dodge the draft when it first happened because your father had died and you were the only one to take care of your mother and siblings. After being caught, you were pardoned by president Lincoln. So when your younger brother was old enough to care for the farm, you joined up as soon as you could out of respect to the president. Now you are caught up in this whole Confederate spy mess when you just want to serve your time and go back to your family.

Son of a prominent Massachusetts abolitionist, you joined the army to help fight against slavery back in 1861. Recently come from the East, you were angry when accused of possibly being a Confederate spy, and are now focused on finding and hanging those slaveholding Southerners.

Deus Asmoth
Despite being the son of a fairly wealthy business owner in New York, you didnt pay someone else to take your place when you got drafted. There was a war on, and those Southerners couldnt secede from the United States! You arrived at the Union camp a few weeks ago, around the time things started getting sabotaged, so you became one of the many accused of being a Confederate spy. Now you must clear your name by finding the true spies.

Tiruin
Despite being from Maryland, still a slaveholding state, you believed in the Union and joined up when President Lincoln asked for volunteers. Unfortunately, this led to many of your neighbors disliking you, so you stayed in the army. Some in the army considered you half-Confederate anyway, so when you were accused of being responsible for carrying out the acts of sabotage in the camp, you werent really surprised. Now it is time to show your continual loyalty by finding and taking out the Confederate spies.

Comrade Shamrock
Once a lowly Georgian private in the Confederate Army, you worked your way up to Captain in the Confederate Army thanks to family connections and some heroic deeds during the Battle of Shiloh. Discovered to have an aptitude for spycraft, you and fellow Confederate Soldier roo began infiltrating union camps and carrying out acts of sabotage. Now the Union is closing in on you, and you are going to need to do some quick thinking and killing to get out of this one. Thankfully you and roo share a tent here, and if you kill off the other Union soldiers, the Confederate army is prepared to attack and rescue the two of you.
You are a Confederate Captain. You win when all the Union Soldiers are eliminated. You have access to a shared nightkill with roo, and a scum chat. In addition you may inspect other players at night to discover their loyalty.
Roo
A poor soldier from North Carolina, you didnt care much about slavery, but joined up to tell those Yankees to go home. You and Comrade Shamrock infiltrated and began to sabotage this Union camp a fortnight ago, but the Union are almost onto you. Shamrock says if we kill all the Union soldiers the Confederates will free us, so the pair of you have decided to continue to lay low, for now.

Mastahcheese
You had several names. Peradon, or Tuco, or the Ugly, called you Blondie, but your favorite was simply the Man with No Name. They called you the Good, but that was merely because of your skills. Now you had struck a deal with Tuco to find a casket of buried gold and split. Tuco knew the name of the graveyard, but you knew the name of the grave. But this whole business with the Confederate spies was slowing you down. YOu needed to stay low, and get the Ugly and yourself alive and out of there, unless the Ugly told you the name of the graveyard, in which case you could probably go off on your own.
You are the Good. Ensure the Ugly, Peradon, survives to D4, and survive yourself until the game ends or the Bad dies. You and Peradon share a chat, and a one shot kill.
Peradon
You are Tuco Ramirez, notorious bandit in the Wild West. They called you the Ugly. You and Mastahcheese have struck a deal. A dying man told you of a secret chest of gold buried in a graveyard. But the Good, Mastahcheese, only knows the name of the grave, while you only know the location of the graveyard. The two of you have promised to go to the graveyard and split the gold. However, along the way you got caught up in this whole business. You dont care about the Confederate spies, you just want to survive enough to get through this alive.
You are the Ugly. Ensure the Good, Mastahcheese, survives to D4, and survive yourself until the game ends or the Bad dies. You and Mastahcheese share a chat, and a one shot kill. You cannot be lynched the first time. Should the COnfederates attempt to kill you, you will kill one of them instead.
TheDarkStar
They called you Angel Eyes, but there was little angelic about you. You were a hired gun and were the best killer in the West. You had been on the trail of that chest of gold for quite a while, before the Good and the Ugly stumbled across it. You knew that the two of them were among the other 11 soldiers accused of being Confederate spies. It was time to find and kill them, eliminating them from competing with you for the gold.
You are the Bad. Survive until the end of the game or kill the Good and the Ugly to win. You have a nightkill.

Deathsword kills roo
Deathsword's PM
Quickly and quietly while the others are distracted, you go to your tent and grab a cage containing a venomous snake you found in the desert and carry it hidden in your rucksack. You surreptitiously unleash it behind roo, then return to your place. Since you purposely angered the snake it attacks roo.

Shamrocks PM
With your partner dead, you move quickly to revenge yourself on the other Union soldiers. In the middle of the night, you find Silthuris tent and set it aflame in a spot where it wont be seen immediately, then run a short distance away with your rifle. A minute or two later, the fire has spread enough to attract attention, and Silthuri himself runs out of the tent, clothes on fire. You shoot him to ensure he dies before slipping away into the darkness to avoid being followed and discovered.
Silthuris PM
You wake up in the middle of the night smelling something burning. You look around and suddenly become wide-awake when you realize that someone must have set the tent on fire, and its even begun spreading to your bed, and even your clothes. You run out the door of your tent and the last thing you see is a silhouette of a rifleman before he shoots you.
TheDarkStars PM
Quietly you sneak over to OSGs tent, you are about to enter when you hear someone yelling about a fire and see a glowing over on the other side of camp. You enter the tent, grab a pillow to muffle the gunshot, and fire your pistol several times into OSGs sleeping body. You leave the front, as if you just woke up and were going to investigate the fire.
OSGs PM
You slept so soundly, you didnt even notice the guy who snuck into your tent and murdered you with a pistol.

You see Peradon gallop away, but know that at some point hes going to need to come back to his tent and grab his stuff in order to get away. So you wait for him. When he comes back you grab him and force him to tell you the name of the graveyard the treasure in buried in, before shooting him several times with your pistol. You leave the tent before grabbing some belongings and supplies, and head out of camp, hunting for the treasure.
Peradon
You head back to your tent to grab supplies, and find the Bad waiting for you. He forces you to tell you the name of the graveyard before shooting you in the chest, killing you.
Mastahcheese
After saving the Ugly from hanging, you realize you need to kill the Bad to prevent him. You head to Comrade Shamrocks tent, and find him returning to it from somewhere else. Hello Angel Eyes, dont think you can hide from me. Shamrock looks confused, before you shoot him with your rifle. You head back to the tent to find Peradons dead body lying on his cot. Grabbing your belongings, you quickly make yourself scarce, and sneak out of camp. Guess Peradon took the location of the graveyard where the treasure is to the grave.
Comrade Shamrock
You had figured out Deathsword was the one who had unleashed the snake on roo, so he had to go. This time you shot him in his cot before you set the tent on fire, whispering into his ear This is for roo. When you got back to your tent you see someone else standing there. Hello Angel Eyes, dont think you can hide from me. You have no idea who Angel Eyes is and open your mouth to say so, but then the man shoots you dead.
Deathsword
You stir in the middle of the night and hear someone in your tent whisper into your ear This is for roo. before you hear the gunshots that kill you.
My favorite part of this game was probably writing the flavor in the role PMs. Personalizing each Union Soldier was a lot more fun then just writing "You are a Union Soldier" in every PM
