Maybe Roman is associated with or dealing with White Fang? Look at that guy's mask. Yes, it looks a lot like Adam's but, more importantly, there are two extensions running by the side of his face that look like fangs. If that didn't scream 'White Fang Grunt' to you, I don't know what will.

Yeah, Roman is working with White Fang but I suspect it's only a case of 'The enemy of my enemy..." for both of them.  Roman will get Dust from whoever can supply it and White Fang will take Lien to bankroll their operations anywhere they can get it, even a filthy human.

I'd love to see Roman and Adam in a scene together, Adam continually spitting angry words at Roman about not letting 'mere humans' tell him what to do whilst Roman needles Adam about needing this 'mere human' to get what he wants. I would think it's a partnership by convenience more than anything else. In fact, it's entirely possible that the SDC could somehow be wrapped up in this unholy alliance as well. Here's how it would work: The SDC uses Roman as a lightning rod so that they have an excuse to cut back wages, etc (and Crimson keeps an eye on him to make sure he doesn't get too greedy). Roman deals with White Fang, giving information in exchange for weapons and men. Essentially, Roman would be a double-dealer, playing the SDC and White Fang off one another.
