Neo is pretty obviously filling a role and is clearly tied to roman beyond anybody else

Cinder has her own team that's yet to be revealed or hinted at for story purposes

And Mercury and Emerald have their own team mates that haven't been revealed yet

The entire CRME thing is clearly a joint venture. Neo works for or is Roman's partner. Mercury and Emerald are Cinder's lackeys and Cinder has Roman in her employ, either by means of money or threat.
