Maimen is noteworthy as being the Hired Gun with the most dialogue during the Plane Scene.
The credits list Maimen's rank as Sergeant.

One highly controversial theory states that he was on Bane's side all along, with Smee and Heer on the sidelines as his cohorts. This theory is solidified when he looks down instead of up when Bane's Plane arrives, prompting us to believe that he was expecting its arrival and that when he spoke, he was referring to Bane. As the hired guns attack the Wreckage Brother, he is noticeably unshaken for the most part and can be seen (briefly) aiming his gun at CIA. The reasoning for his refusal to aim is suspected with the reasoning being that he did not want to accidentally shoot Bane.
Another theory similar to former states that it is possible that he switched the Briefcase that would then be handed to Masketta Man. It is brought to attention when he is briefly seen exiting the plane carrying the briefcase. The possible contents of the decoy briefcase (the case he switched from) contained fake money as seen later when the Wreckage Brother is hijacked, while the real briefcase (the case given to Masketta Man) contained the PASIV Dream Machine as seen in Inception.
A line spoken by Foley in the Post-Credit Scenes suggests he is alive: "I'm not risking Maimen for Yormoni."

In the novelization of The Dark Knight Rises (by Greg Cox), Maimen is referred to as 'Rodriguez', a strange choice of nomenclature on account that Rodriguez is a Hispanic name and Maimen is clearly Caucasian. One theory explaining the nature behind this choice is that he is actually adopted or that his mother remarried someone named Rodriguez before he was born and that most people would stick to calling him by 'Rodriguez'.
It has been posited that Maimen's biological father is actually the "Cigarette Smoking Man" (of FBI fame) and that he abandoned Maimen after an affair with his mother. Both Maimen and the "Smoking Man" share a striking resemblance.
This relationship may explain why Maimen seems to posses incredible super-human abilities on account of his supposed "Human-Alien Hybrid DNA". His always youthful appearance may point to him having salamander DNA in him, also explaining why he was able to make the fire rise and avoid getting killed by Bane's men. This also leads back to his relationship with the "Smoking Man" as, in the past, he has been known to pose as CIA and ask around about such a salamander, implying that he is out looking for his long-lost son.
Or this could be just an ignorance of parsimony and it all really is quite simple (only evidence will reveal the truth).
