Hypothesis: Team STRQ references the legends of King Arther and the knights of the round table. Taiyang = Arthur (possibly another knight loyal to Arthur), Qrow = Lancelot, Summer = Guinevere, Raven (unknown...possibly Morgan Lefey?)  Additionally, possible ties between Ozpin and Merlin.

Case for STRQ (Somewhat shakey): The downfall of the knights of the round table involves Lancelot fleeing the castle with Queen Guinevere. This breaks up the round table knights. Eventually, Lancelot feels remorse over betraying his friend, but is not able to make amends before Arthur's death. We know that Taiyang married Raven first and then Summer. There is the possibility that Qrow had strong feelings for Summer before she married Taiyang. Qrow is clearly drinking about something, and regretting the the betrayal of his friend would qualify. Failing to protect her would as well. Qrow continues to protect and nurture his nieces perhaps to make up for his mistakes.

Case for Ozpin: In "Fall," Ozpin makes the offhand remark that the story of the four sisters has been around since he was young. Monty has stated that Ozpin is "very old." According to some stories, Merlin supposedly aged backwards through time and so had knowledge of the future, the present and the past. Given the clock motif that surrounds Ozpin, there has been the suggestion of Time manipulation for his semblance. Perhaps Ozpin draws influence from both the Wizard of Oz, and the Wizard of Camelot, Merlin.

Personally, I am surprised by the lack of reference so far to King Arthur and the Knights of the Round table. I admit I went looking for a connection and may be reading a bit into things. What do you all think? Will we eventually see a King Arthur refference? Might this speculation have something to it?
