Interesting, but Jen Taylor (Cortana) as the Big Bad? sorry, but that doesn't really resonate with me*. That aside, that's a good point, especially about Ozpin's character break in EP3. Also, good LOTR reference. Maybe Ozpin is putting on a show of force to intimidate the big bad, but he has Ruby and Jaune (or Frodo and Sam) as secret weapons.

That conversation at the beginning of the first episode strikes me as rather significant and I do not think Crimson is that significant. As I said, the narrator could just be an emmissary, but her character seems too important to be someone who is piloting the getaway jet for a Dust heist. Crimson is undoubtedly more than a pilot, but I don't think she is on that level.
 * That is not to say she still can't be evil. Crimson, perhaps...?
