Since my post was surprisingly not ignored, I decided to post one more theory before starting on my homework.
I do think that the White Fang is using Roman and his men. What got me curious is that Blake even questioned their motives for working with Humans, especially with the faunus tolerating Roman’s abuse to them in the last episode.
What if they’re using the dust to power a weapon, or some sort of medicine or even machinery? They’re basically a cult, and will do anything to force more people to bend to their ways, correct?
What if they’ll backstab Roman and his crew at some point, and transform him into a faunus? It’s a bit morbid and a gruesome process, but they succeed, and he’s the first trans-faunus, in a sense.
Roman is based off of that kid from Pinnochio. Who turned into a Donkey for ignoring his responsibilities, goofing off, etc. I can see something like that happening to him as well, despite me not having seen Pinnochio in years.
If Roman is successfully turned into a Donkey Faunus, could that be the one success that the White Fang need to continue with their goal? Could he be their figureative Guinea Pig? And if they succeed in turning him into a Faunus, will a “Faunus Ray” be created in order to turn everyone else into a Faunus, into a “if you can’t beat them, join them” scenario?
…I actually like this theory a lot…
So like in X-men? That does make sense though.
