Well, who knows. Maybe Crimson is aiming for Beacon to get revenge from someone (pretty sure it could be Ozpin if that were the case) so she's helping Roman to get inside Beacon and when she's done, she'll just let him do whatever he wants.

Crimson needs Roman alive, that could be:

1.- They are partners at some degree.

2.- He's her ticket to whatever she's aiming for, Roman is the only one who can make it happen.

3.- She's using him.
