Blake and Adam aren't related, though. Adam acted as a mentor for Blake. That's it.

I'm pretty sure that Mercury is not related to Qrow, at all. People are going way too far with his comment about how Qrow smells like his dad after a long day. The only thing that revealed is that Mercury's dad is an alcoholic. Since Mercury knows how his dad smells after a long day, I'm pretty sure he knows who his dad is. If Qrow was his dad, he wouldn't have said "smells like my dad after a long day". He would've said "Yeah, I'm sure it was Qrow. I know my dad when I see him."
