Well if I was serving under someone who was basically Darth Vader in a girl's body, I think I'd obey them regardless of the orders they'd give me. Even if it was suicidial. Better to die following the boss than to be killed by the boss. Simply by circumstance, Roman would know what Cinder could do, the first episode proved it, and as Angren Ture said above, some poor fool probably looked up her dress and stared and/or pissed her off, and Roman happened to watch as Cinder nonchalantly and/or cheerfully deep fat fried him on the spot.

Cinder in a nutshell: Darth Vader and Harbinger rolled into one. As dangerous as both, charismatic as the former, as ominous as the latter. But lacking a catchphrase. No "You have failed me for the last time" or "Assuming control (of this form)". All villains should have a catchphrase. Makes them instantly recognizable.
