In modern terms, a vigilante is anyone who takes the law into their own hands. Vigilantes often operate in secret. The term vigilante stems from the name "Vigiles Urbani" given to the nightwatchmen of Ancient Rome, who were tasked with fighting fires and keeping a lookout for runaway slaves and burglars.
