Very true. I think he's more of a long standing secondary antagonist than an actual threat to the world of RWBY. Think of him like Team Rocket, or maybe he'll be involved with future antagonists to provide them with Dust, or maybe he'll just be an anti-hero that serves his own needs and can help or hinder our heroes. I didn't really consider Team Rocket all that threatening, TBH...

But I like the possibility of him being an anti-hero. Roman is just going to be a really fun and interesting character for us as the series develops.
