Character from Volume 2 by Rooster Teeth
Vale's most theatrical crime boss — now operating from an underground base in Mountain Glenn, loading a train with Dust and Grimm-bait for an assault on Vale from beneath.
Roman has gone underground — literally. He's operating from a White Fang base in the ruins of Mountain Glenn, managing the next phase of whatever his mysterious employer has planned. The Dust he's been stealing all year is being loaded onto a train rigged with explosive charges and devices designed to attract Grimm. The tunnel system beneath Mountain Glenn connects to Vale's infrastructure, and the plan is as blunt as it is terrifying: drive the train through the tunnel, blow open the walls, and let the Grimm pour into the city. He knows this is insane. He says so, repeatedly, to anyone who will listen. He doesn't believe in the cause, doesn't care about the White Fang's grievances, and isn't even sure his employer's plan will work. But he's more afraid of her than he is of a Grimm invasion, which tells you everything about the woman giving the orders. His partner Neo has joined the operation — a silent, dangerous presence at his side who fights with a parasol and terrifying skill. Roman is sarcastic, theatrical, and doomed, and he carries all three with equal style.
Lean and dapper with swept-back orange hair, sharp green eyes, and a smirk that suggests he knows something you do not. Wears a white suit jacket with a grey scarf tucked into the collar, black gloves, long grey pants, and black shoes — all topped with a black bowler hat and an unlit cigar perpetually between his fingers. Wields Melodic Cudgel, a cane that fires explosive flares and has a grappling hook built into the handle. Every element of his look screams 'gentleman thief.'
