Roles are aura enchantment type predefined tokens introduced in Wilds of Eldraine.[1][2]

Description

Roles are colorless aura enchantment tokens, with "Enchant creature", that attach to creatures upon creation giving them different abilities. No more than one Role controlled by the same player can be attached to the same creature at the same time, so if a new Role is attached to that creature, the old one is put into the graveyard and then ceases to exist.[2] However, one creature can have several Roles if each Role was created by a different player.
