Roman hates doing the things the rest of the family does. He goes along because, like connor, he's spineless. Every ounce of fortitude and machismo that he manifests is manufactured. Its inauthentic to his true self. Not to get overly Jungian but his shadow is completely hidden from himself. Its detached like its straight out of Peter Pan. He's lost track of his true self. But unlike Pan he doesnt quest to find it and reincorperate it. He believes, honestly, that he's just like the rest of them. And by extention unlike Connor.
