New here but I've been reading the discussion about Ozpin's actions and how secretive he can seem to be when dealing with the other characters and withholding information. Much has been said as to how predictable he has become to Salem and her forces.

However what if we look at it as how predictable the humans and faunas can be when presented with an opportunity for power? Currently most of the team that Salem has all seem to want something whether that be power in its purest form or power as knowledge or fear.

There is a quote that states that the best way to test a person's character is to actually give them power. What if Ozpin has learnt over the centuries, that the more information and understanding a person has the more likely they are to pursue their own selfish desires? For instance with the Relics, if all the kingdoms knew about the Relics would they all be satisfied with only having one? Or would each kingdom war over who controlled the Relics. Likewise, if a person discovered a wizard who could give them powers, would they try and either convince the wizard to grant them power or try and force him to give up those powers?

It may be that Ozpin has been forced into this decision of withholding information because he has found that the revealing of power does not unite Kingdoms. It may be that he has found that instead it has divided them.
