My guess:

Objective: Destruction of the Beacon Academy beacon

Means: A small army of mercenary thugs, failed wannabee Hunters and Huntresses and even some White Fang militia on loan from Adam

Motive: Crimson is paying him a small fortune in precious metals and stones plus she's promised that when her bosses take over, he'll be safe and even rewarded with power in the New Order

Twist 1: Crimson is lying; as soon as Roman has outlived his usefulness as a catspaw, he and his organisation will be eliminated; Ditto White Fang; the Faunus are human enough to also be on the Grimm's hit-list

Twist 2: Crimson herself is a dupe; the Grimm Mynd has no intention of allowing any human to live, even a faithful and powerful cult follower like her.
