Also, just a stab in the dark really (I haven't played SC2, I just found this on the wiki page), but my guess for his role? An Overseer. It's a caster/detector, with the detector part being the key aspect. Some new mutation of Overlords, apparently.
Hmm, an interesting way to phrase it. It's quite possible your detective is better in some ways that Meph. After all, there's several different ways that detection may work. It could be a role name, full role pm, vague clue, or a general classification. You seem to be suggesting that you have a general classification type detective on your side. Which may be true, or may not be true. So far you've pinned one person as a Zerg, but how about offering up some other proof. I'm guessing that Meph wouldn't be the only person your detective had checked no? So who else have they checked? Since it's always far easier to verify with more data whether or not someone is lying, telling the truth, or making something up. Anyway, judging from Meph's response, it's a general classification for him. Which seems to imply that you are in some way linked to the Zerg. Whether that's with a skill you used, a skill used on you, or something else though, I suppose we won't know until you're dead . . . or perhaps not even then depending on how accurate Meph is and how much info we receive at the time of your demise.
Of course the main thing I've been thinking about was whether all the factions got a detective, but they all got different sanities. If so, that could drastically change how we view any detective's findings. Though it seems for the moment either Meph would have to be the sane detective, or an incredibly lucky paranoid/random detective if that was the case. Though that's probably just me overthinking it since there's been nothing that supports that idea so far other than the questionable nature of Mephisto and MetaSeraphim, and the claim that there's several detectives in game.
