This post will not be about just one role, but more about the aspect of having a good excuse to get yourself out of accusations, if you are any of the evil roles. Keeping in mind that every game will be different and how you get out of accusations and lynches is entirely your own choice, here are the roles I claim and the actions I take to defend myself:
Blackmailer: The Blackmailer can claim to be a Spy when he is accused. He will fail to pass the whisper test, unless his mafia pals are quick to fake one for you. Another way to prove spy is to say who was not visited by mafia yet, if the game is in the late stages. Of course the people you mention are entirely up to you. And of course, since you know who the mafia visits every night because you're one of them, you can also claim to be a Lookout.
Consigliere: As the Consigliere, you only have the option to claim Investigator. If anyone tells you to reveal your role, try saying that you'd rather not (yet). That might sway their judgement towards you being Investigator. But since you know people's roles too, you can say who you "investigated". Just remember what roles show as which possible others to real investigators too! If you just list the real roles, then you've messed up.
Consort: The Consort is the evil Escort. As such he can obviously claim Escort. You can roleblock someone to prove it too. And if you want to try to be really convincing: "Look, you know that I'm escort or consort.. If I block you, that proves nothing, just believe me."
Disguiser: If you havent yet disguised yourself, this guy will show up as Disguiser or Jester. You could claim to be a Jester, of course not just like that, you'd have to act like it too, or you could just say that you were transported and that they'd have to double check for your real role. Just hope the others realise this means they have to kill the accusator.
Framer: You have no backup role to claim. You are either framer or framed. Most people will immediately accuse you of being framer. Just be sure to throw out that you must've been framed. Ask them to double check and have a lookout watch you, while again having your mafia clean up. Of course you can still claim Spy or Lookout, like all the other mafia roles, because if you pay attention, you know who the other mafia visited every night...
Godfather: The good old leader among men. While most of the time its the accusation that gets you killed, keep in mind that it's also the first line in the arsenal of Executioners and Jesters to get their target, or someone random, lynched. Use this to your advantage. Do not claim to be the Mayor. Instead say that you are neither Mayor, nor Godfather and that your accusator is instead trying to get you killed. Again, claim to be Lookout or Spy, or that you were transported and that they ought to double-check.
Janitor: As the Janitor, keep an eye on the people leaving while you're scrubbing the toilets. Because the only role you can claim, other than the ones all the other mafia can, is Medium. And if you wanna pretend to be a medium, you should know who left the game and who is still in dead chat. Just make sure the genuine Medium doesnt thwart your plans.
Mafioso: The Mafioso owns guns. You can claim to be a Veteran or a Vigilante. I'd strongly recommend Vigilante, because Veterans are unique and there can only ever be one per round. Of course when accused, you could offer to shoot your accusator during the night to prove it, but I doubt they'd accept that kind offer... Again, the Mafioso, and all the Mafia can claim to be Lookout, Spy, or that they were transported.
Arsonist: To the Investigators, you show up as a gas-enthusiast. So you're either a Transporter or an Arsonist to them. If you like the Transporter as well as me, claim to be a Transporter. If you get asked why nobody has been transported yet, say that you didnt want to ruin the Investigator's and Sheriff's checks. Say that Transporter is best used late-game. Pay attention to the people who died to. If someone left the game and was attacked in the same night, point out that you switched yourself with that person. Nobody would attack someone who left out of their own free will... People who quit before their death was announced in the day also show up as suicide and attacked. Finally a good use for them damn quitters...
Executioner: Most of the time the Executioner doesnt get outright accused. Since he shows up as either Sheriff, Retributionist or Executioner. As such he isnt an immediate danger. But if you do, just claim Sheriff and that random people showed up as Not Suspicious. Who in their right mind would then go "No, I'm suspicious, he's lying!"...
Jester: The Jester doesnt need to talk his way out. He needs to talk his way IN to getting lynched..
Serial Killer: You can claim to be a doctor too. But since people often dont want to take the risk and lynch doctors anyways, I'd suggest you claim to have been transported. People will double check and sometimes the mafia will target the accusator for you, since he's a threat to them too. Or if you're feeling ballsy, you can kill your accusator yourself. Just be ready to talk your way out of that one...
Witch: People genuinely dont trust Survivors, which is the only role you can claim. So instead say that you were transported. Point out that your accusator may well be the Executioner. But of course you can try the Survivor story too...
Werewolf: As if the Survivor hadnt gotten enough distrust as it is. Now he's either a Werewolf, a Witch or a Survivor. So in the eyes of the Townies, nothing of value will be lost anyways... Dont claim to be a Survivor. Hope that a Sheriff double checks you in a normal, non-full moon, night to say you're not suspicious and leaves it at that. If someone just asks you for your role, just say you're the one among the three that isnt evil and that people wouldnt trust your revealed your either way.
In General: Any role that needs to can claim to have been transported. People mostly accept that and double check. Otherwise, all roles can also point out that the accusator is an Executioner trying to kill you. Remember that the Executioner's target is always a Townie, so that pointer may just prove your own "innocence".
As for the Mafia, since they have their overpowered little night chat, they all know who was visited by them, so they can all claim to be Lookouts or Spies. The Mafia is overpowered that way...
