User blog:Zathronas/Speculative author, Volume 3: Roman Torchwick

Hello all and welcome to a very late speculative author.

Roman Torchwick made way in volume 2 for more of Cinder and her gang. So Roman didn't have much character development. Do I expect the same in volume 3?

Not by a long shot

Roman and Ironwood

Ironwood will be emboldened by the council's approval and will start doing things his way. Roman's interrogation will be his first test. Don't expect any torture from him. At least not physically, but he will use what he knows of Roman against him.

Roman is someone fairly known in Vales as we saw in "Shining Beacon" when he appeared in the newscast, so I'm guessing Ironwood knows more about him than we do. We will see him using Roman's past against him trying to sway him and have him reveal Cinder's plan. Through these talks, we'll learn his motivation and his past.

Cinder's Plan

Of course, I don't expect him to reveal anything. If you read my Cinder speculation then you know that I believe there is a spy in Ironwood's flagship who will help Roman escape when the time is right. Before he escapes, I expect him to add a virus in the mainframe that will give control of Ironwood's combat droids to Cinder. He will then join her at Beacon.

Roman VS Blake round 3

The last time those two met was in "Breach" where Blake, with the help of Weiss dust was able to pretty much dominate the fight. Problem is Roman was expected to lose. This time he has no such plan and will fight with all his might. Expect a bitter fight and if you read my Cinder's blog, you know how it will end.

In conclusion, I expect to learn more about Roman in volume 3, even if we see less of him.
