I think that Roman will end up being what tvtrops.org calls a 'Starscream' - one of the Big Bad's lieutenants who will revolt against him/her because (1) they want to lead their faction themselves and (2) they think that the Big Bad is incompetent/a raving lunatic.

The Starscream tends to be something of a dark wolf, often shown as being a comic character but also a formidable warrior when roused. Although they are loyal to their faction, their hatred for their boss will occasionally lead them to alliances of convenience with their nominal foes to improve their position and undermine the boss.

I can thus see Roman tipping 'Red' and 'Kitty-cat' the wink about future ops just to undermine Cinder and improve his own position and power. Naturally, he'll have to be careful to ensure that she doesn't get even a hint of him being responsible because I think she would be merciless to those who fail/betray her.
