Way back before the show started, I speculated that there might be a geek/nerd type who is attending Beacon to learn academically rather than qualify as a Hunter. He becomes the girls' Library, an infallible source of all knowledge scientific, technical and crypobiological (Grimm and their ilk, in other words). If they have radios in RWBY, he becomes their Voice With An Internet Connection.

Naturally, he falls in love with all the girls. Naturally, they see him as a beloved brother, being incredibly free with chaste hugs and kisses but having no clue he harbours romantic feelings towards them (and would be horrified and guilt-stricken if they ever found out).

Eyup Guy could be that character but we won't really have him introduced until later (possibly in Volume 2 when the girls need a source of the inside scoop on their opponents in Tournament bouts).
