Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, there's no good way to make the Apprentice appear correctly, especially during the Grim Reveal or as a Storyteller to remember what ability the Apprentice has and when to wake them during the night order, since the Apprentice only displays as "The Apprentice" in all fields across the app, this is done to keep the player count in the Town Square correct, since a traveller will automatically correct itself.

Describe the solution you'd like The ability to replace the "Apprentice" token with any Townsfolk or Minion on script, and have the player count remain correct by using the included "Is the Apprentice" reminder token. Since the ST's now share a "Master Grim" that's connected to the server, theoretically, it could be possible for the ST to place the Apprentice Reminder token next to a player, have it appear on all player Grims, correct the player count and allow for the ST and players to deal them a regular token, with it's night order placement included.

Describe alternatives you've considered Currently, the only real fix for this is having the Apprentice token in the player seat, and using a custom note on that seat to remember what ability they have.

Agreed, the Apprentice could be made easier to use, however this would involve a medium amount of code work, so it's not going to happen that soon.
