What is the role of deacons?
Deacons are ordained to the ministry and service of the bishop (as opposed to being ordained to the priesthood). Their primary responsibility, then, is in assisting the bishop in the governance of the diocese. They are often involved in the administration of the Church's resources, with a special consideration of the needs of the poor and vulnerable. Deacons also are called upon to preach and to assist in the sacramental ministry of the local church. Though their primary ministry is normally supra-parocchial, each deacon is resident in a local parish and may assist there.
What is the relationship of the deacon to the pastor?
The Deacon is usually the right hand of the pastor. In the absence of the pastor the chairman of the Deacon Board or ministry is in charge. If the church is for any reason without a pastor the deacon(s) are in charge. That is spiritually, financially, and will give counsel when necessary. In many traditional baptist churches the deacons pretty much run everything, this often includes the Pastor, as he answers to the Deacons. The deacons in the baptist church are the only other ordained ministry other than the pastor. Therefore the relation of the Deacons and Pastor are usually very close.

Are there deacons in the Roman Catholic Church?
Caveat: This answer is from a Catholic perspective; other Christian denominations may have different theologies of the diaconate. Deacons are ordained ministers who proclaim the Gospel in the liturgy, baptize, preside over marriages and funerals, are ordinary ministers of Communion, and who may preach, with a bishop or priest presiding. Deacons are not priests, and have a special relationship to the bishop, since they are ordained by the bishop and are there to be sent by the bishop to do various tasks. A deacon is not an elevated altar boy, but is ordained for the service of God's people. In addition to serving at the liturgy, deacons are to use their talents to serve the Church. Deacons may be married, so long as they are married before they are ordained to the diaconate. If their wife dies, they may not remarry, but must remain celibate. The permanent diaconate was reinstituted with Vatican II. The transitional diaconate has remained in the Catholic Church for a long time, as a prerequisite for ordination to the priesthood, but the permanent diaconate was suppressed for a time. Deacons are on the third tier of orders: episcopacy (bishops), presbytery (priests), and the diaconate (deacons). According to the Church Fathers (St. Jerome and others), these three levels correspond to the Old Testament divisions of high priest (corresponding to bishops), Aaronic priests (corresponding to Catholic priests), and Levites (corresponding to deacons). Deacons first appear in Acts 6. Since then, there have been many deacons. St. Francis of Assisi, one of the most popular saints in history, was a deacon, considering himself too unworthy to be ordained to the priesthood. Others include St. Lawrence, who was martyred by being cooked on a grill. Half way through his torture, he told the guard that he could turn him over since he was done on that side! Deacons are important ministers to the Church of Christ, reflecting Christ's ministry of service. In Greek, "Diakonia" is related to "service" or "servant". The deacon therefore exercises Christ's ministry of service.
