Solution

I've solved it (so far) like with this method in the MemberRole model, where the role column is an enum of supported roles.

public function newFromBuilder($attributes = array())
{
    $class =  ucwords($attributes->role) . 'Role';
    $instance = App::make($class);
    $instance->exists = true;
    $attributes->privileges = $instance->loadPrivileges($attributes);
    $instance->setRawAttributes((array) $attributes, true);

    return $instance;
}
