In a fight, yes, Crimson is a bigger threat than Roman. However, that just means Roman is more dangerous from a leadership perspective.

Masterminds in scenarios like this (particularly fantasy) keep a retainer of heavy hitters on hand to handle things when they get sticky, which is why I believe Crimson is at least currently subordinate to him.

Roman comes off as the kind of villain that doesn't sit in a dark room lording over a chess table, so much as wanting to get out and about, smile and shake hands with the people he's robbing. He's not afraid to walk about town despite being the most wanted man in Vale.

That said, there's still someone or something pulling his string to do something other than typical mafia-style fundraising. I don't see Crimson as that person. She's a hitter, not a planner.
