My guess is that we have yet to meet the Big Bad and that Cinder is his most senior Dragon. Roman barely classifies as a pawn (as Qrow pointed out) although I suspect that, as matters progress, he will be trying to either get promoted or extract himself depending on how enthusiastic he is for the 'project'.
