Well it seems pretty clear that Roman is afraid of Cinder, but we have no idea what he thinks of her overall plans, if he even knows what they are.

Maybe Cinder and Roman both want the same thing, and he is using her just as much as she is using him. When it comes down to it, they'll end up betraying one another and fighting over the thing they both want. She is more powerful than he is, though, and he knows it. So his betrayal will have to either be very cunning or he's going to need plenty of help. Or both.

Bonus points if he somehow gets team RWBY to unwittingly help him! They show up to stop the bad guys from getting their hands on the MacGuffin, and end up locked in a fight with Cinder, while (unbeknowest to both RWBY and Cinder) Roman takes the MacGuffin for himself.
