Way to go, Roman. History has a lot worse disasters caused for even worse motives. Whole wars and even genocides just to distract people from domestic political incompetence. Greed and ambition is the zip-line to hell. Huh. That sounds familiar. I guess history is being written here in the US right now. -_-

On-topic: I dunno, I still feel like there may be someone higher on the chain than Roman. As cool as he is, so far he doesn't seem like the real big bad. He also doesn't seem like a low tier antagonist, mind you, but from what we've seen so far, not quite big bad material. Just regular villain. We already know he's a secondary antagonist behind the overarching Grim. But they won't really materialize as the dominant threat until later on in the series. Sort of like how Sauron was always the big bad, but he didn't actually unleash any forces (apart from the Ringwraiths) until comparatively late in the series. Roman is just a secondary, but more immediate threat. Yeah, but I feel almost like there's a human big bad above him. Not entirely sure why. And I don't mean Crimson. It's entirely likely that could be the SDC.
