To be honest, I'm thinking that Roman probably has a similar backstory, since he really seems to be ticked off at Ruby's utter faith in being a hero, suggesting that Roman might have once held a similar view of the world, until something broke that view of the world, perhaps a betrayal from his team, or his team getting sent to a slaughter.



And yeah, I think Roman's a former huntsman-in-training at the very least, since I doubt that building a transforming weapon is something you could do all nilly willy. And the fact that he can match Huntsmen students in battle, and his reputation as a master thief sorta do imply that he probably has his Aura unlocked if nothing else.



Hell, Junior might be in the same boat, as he took a charged up punch from Yang, and survived.
