Roman Torchwick/History

Criminal History
At some point prior to the events of the series, he was detained by the Vale Police Department. Though it is not said whether he has been previously imprisoned or convicted, it is stated in a VNN report that he "continues to evade authorities," which could indicate he has been a fugitive since before the events of the series.

"Yellow" Trailer
Roman is seen briefly speaking to Junior before Yang walks up; he may have hired his henchmen from Junior at this time.

Ruby Rose
Roman walks up the street at night flanked by some henchmen and intimidating some bystanders while pushing others aside. He walks into From Dust Till Dawn, a Dust store, and starts to rob the Dust from the store manager after commenting on how rare it is for a Dust store to be open late at night. However, when Ruby Rose begins foiling the heist and taking down his henchmen, Roman flees to a nearby rooftop to be picked up in an airjet by an accomplice. He tries to take down Ruby by firing at a Dust crystal he tosses at her feet, but this fails when Glynda Goodwitch appears and blocks the attack. Roman takes over piloting the ship as Glynda and his accomplice engage in battle. Despite Glynda's efforts, the two make a successful getaway.

Players and Pieces
Inside a warehouse structure, Roman is on a phone call to somebody before angrily hanging it up as a thug comes into the room carrying a supply crate. Roman pays the man before he asks him to open it, revealing the crate to contain Dust crystals, before picking one up. He stares into it briefly before looking up and stating "We're going to need more men."
