ShugenjaYou start knowing if your closest evil player is clockwise or anti-clockwise. If equidistant, this info is arbitrary.

BalloonistEach night, you learn 1 player of each character type, until there are no more types to learn. [+1 Outsider]
Snake CharmerEach night, choose an alive player: a chosen Demon swaps characters & alignments with you & is then poisoned.
Town CrierEach night*, you learn if a Minion nominated today.

SoldierYou are safe from the Demon.
Alchemist
You have a not-in-play Minion ability.
