The role cards are based on the official designation of each senior officer and some junior officers in the Chain of Acheron. Most grant abilities in combat, similar to feats. Unlike feats, however, they are not tied to a single player or character. For example, when Red was killed, Sweet, who had been the Lieutenant until that point, took the Commander role card and gave the Lieutenant card to King.
