If you think about it, I feel like Roman was the ACTUAL brains behind Cinder's operation. She needed someone who could mount effective strategies, and outwit his opponents at every turn.

Roman was the leader to a notorious Dust Thieving gang, and was likely forced to help Cinder under the pretense of losing his and/or Neo's life if he didn't. So he gave it his all (not to mention he probably relished making a fool of Ironwood).

He was consistently at the front of the action, planning out in the open, not worried about whether or not his opponents found out, knowing they would never be able to piece it together in time.

Everything was planned by him, the Train Heist, his arrest, taking control of the Mothership, and even the actual layout and blueprints to the school's networks was likely provided to Cinder by him.

And it was not like he was doing this for fun. He had something at stake. We don't know for sure what, but I feel like Neo may have a part in it. After losing Neo, he changed dramatically. He wasn't snarky and cocky, he was serious. He was beating Ruby to death, he WANTED to hurt her. His only mistake was exuding all that negativity, as it ended up summoning a Grim Crow to devour him.

Even compared to Cinder, he did more damage than anyone else, creating the chaos that would summon the Grimm Dragon in the end, even if he did not know it.
