"Torch (by Honey Wine)"
Tanım
Roman Torchwick was a major antagonist in RWBY. Born in the city of Wind Path and abandoned by his mother as a child, Roman became a pickpocket from Mistral in his younger days. After he was caught by members of Spider and was taken under the wing of Lil' Miss Malachite, he became her second-in-command until he started becoming more ambitious than her and defected from the gang to become independent while eventually meeting Neopolitan in the process.
Kişilik
In contrast to the more violent Neopolitan, Roman Torchwick appeared as a mysterious, cold and ruthless career criminal. Roman's personality was a mixture between that of a formal gentleman and a ruthless criminal. He was highly manipulative, very charismatic, and charming. He emitted charm and spoke calmly even in the middle of an armed robbery. Roman emitted hostility when upset or frustrated, as seen in "No Brakes" when he ordered the White Fang to help him shoot Ruby as she escaped, bent his weapon and slammed a subordinate backward. Above all else, Roman was a nihilistic anarchist believing the world to be a dark and cruel place where nothing truly mattered and only those who were willing to take what they wanted in life - by force if necessary - were able to truly survive. It's implied that this cynical mindset was likely a result of his perceived abandonment from his mother who dropped him off at an orphanage as a baby and never looked back. Ironically, his jaded, self-centered, and even pessimistic worldviews are the antithesis of Ruby Rose's idealistic, selfless, and ultimately hopeful philosophy. Roman displays many of the classic signs of being a possible psychopath. He takes a gleeful kind of pleasure in planning and committing elaborate heists and demonstrates little to no guilt over any of his actions or how they might go on to affect others. He is fully aware of how the rest of the world sees him as a dangerous menace to society but makes no effort to try and justify any of his actions and even seems to take a twisted kind of pride in his infamy, believing himself to be the most wanted criminal in Vale and seeing it as an accomplishment. He also demonstrated a ruthless streak, evidently willing to use lethal force on Ruby when she foiled his scheme, even going so far as to laugh after successfully shooting her down in "Black and White". In "Heroes and Monsters", he demonstrated a jaded side when he chastised Ruby for her being blind to the cruelty of the real world while trying to beat her with his cane. Judging by his elaborate outfit and accessories, Roman also had expensive tastes, a common stereotype of Mafia Dons and other organized crime kingpins. Despite working with the White Fang, he had no respect for them and discriminated against Faunus. On several occasions, he talked to or about them in a derogatory fashion, referring to the

Güçler & Yetenekler
Genel Yetenekler
Roman operated as a formidable fighter despite never having discovered his Semblance. He also had exceptional accuracy, able to shoot Ruby from a considerable distance along with snatching her by the hood with the grappling hook. Roman was also able to counter all of Ruby's attacks with ease during their fight atop the airship, even when she was using her enhanced speed. He is also a skilled thief and pickpocket due to his former affiliation with the Spiders. In Best Day Ever he stole the lighter that Emerald had originally stolen from him without her realizing it. However, Roman was liable to underestimating his opponents and had trouble adapting to surprise attacks. In "No Brakes", Roman found himself unable to counter Blake's use of Dust-augmented Semblance clones and was promptly defeated. In RWBY: The Official Manga, Roman is shown to be more formidable than as demonstrated in the series, being able to temporarily fight off the entirety of Team RWBY, and later physically strong enough to kick Ruby up several feet into the air with ease.
Zayıflıklar
Despite his experiences, Roman is short-sighted, as shown in RWBY: Roman Holiday. He considers Semblances overrated, instead preferring to use his wits and charm, denying himself a useful tool. He is also prone to attempting to backstab his superiors, which costs him as he makes an enemy of Spider, who does not take to his betrayal lightly and makes an effort to try and assassinate him. Roman's need for attention is also his ultimate downfall, as he is caught off-guard when trying to self-aggrandize himself in the middle of a swarm of Grimm.
