Also, Salem might be alluded to Darth Vader of Star Wars:

-Both were past elitists and parents of an important character.

-Both are considered dead but actually switched sides and got new identities.

-Both have a look change that symolizes the change of personality and traits (Summer becomes a Grimm and Vader is given his mechanical suit).

-Both are prime antagonists who have bigger antagonists behind them (Darth Sidious in Star Wars, Lord Grimm in RWBY).

-Monty's confimal that Summer is dead might be a refference to Luke and Obi-Wan saying that "Anakin Skywalker is dead because he became a different person". Not all of the things done in the show were Monty's idea. Many were changed, and in some cases even ignored. Perhaps Monty's original plan was for Salem and Cortanarrator to be different people. Or maybe Salem wasn't even part of his original plan.

So don't act like Monty was lying. He wasn't. That RT made a change of plans at some point, possibly after Monty died, is something else.

As for the rest, that sounds like bullshit for many reasons.

1-We have no idea, no hints, no implications and no evidence that Salem is related, let alone the parent of, any of the characters.

2-You are completely assuming Salem=Summer, something that is nothing but that: An assumption, not a fact. Thus all the parts in your post that assume Summer became Salem, shall be ignored.

3-"Lord Grimm"? The only thing that could be called a Lord Grimm, is Salem herself. Nothing says she answers to/ works for anything else, even less a Grimm. And Salem herself is already a Bigger Bad.

Even Miles knows that if the Big Bad (Roman) works for a Bigger Bad (Cinder) who works for a Bigger Bad (Salem) who works for a Bigger Bad, it would be getting too damn stupid.
