That is who Roman is, I believe. Someone's, yet unknown, front man, the guy for the dirty work, a leader of henchmen, but not the brain.

The sorceress, however, is the specialist, the one for the refined actions, may well be also the (body)guard against hunters - not for Roman, but for the guy/gal on top.

but we also have to note that this is a cartoon, and even anime's have the big bads doing pety crimes at time. While i very much doubt that Roman is the big bad (the intro itself putting him in the position of the guy who commands the cannon fodder). I do however think that yes Roman is a major player in the human side crime community, having the resources to hire out Juniors thugs, own a Airship with enough armor to take several hits from a huntress' Dust shard attacks, and to even casually toss away his stolen Dust just to kill one little girl he had already as good as already escaped from.
