Perhaps whatever group Adam and formerly Blake were associated with are allying themselves with Roman. Perhaps the mask isn't only limited to Adam, also. That's a theory that's popped up on multiple threads. I imagine it would run down like this: Adam and Blake used to run contract jobs for White Fang as income. After the cargo train fiasco, Adam left White Fang and went on the lam. Ever the businessman, Roman cuts a deal with White Fang--they give him troops and supplies, he gives them an opportunity to strike at Beacon...and Blake. It feels lie forever since I've been on this particular thread. I remember this was the first threadI came across on the Rwby forums.

Either way, your speculation is great, and I wouldn't mind it happening. Still, I think there's more to the deal than just striking at Beacon and Blake. Perhaps this is the White Fang's idea of telling the world "We are here, and we are ready." And what better way to do that then attacking the prestigious Beacon Academy? It would be a bloodbath, that's for sure, but the symbolic value of taking it would be very high.
