@ Angren,

For Ruby's and her father's sake, Ozpin had her mother declared dead. Just to make things that much more interesting, he blamed a 'renegade Beacon drop-out' named Cinder Fall for her betrayal and death.

It was made even easier becuase Cinder wanted to put her former identity behind her, so she was completely willing to let the old man get away with declaring Summer a 'dead heroine'. It meant she had much less of a problem getting a foothold in the criminal underworld. People like Junior and Roman would hesitate to work with a former heroine like Summer Rose but they'd fall over themselves to aid the mysterious renegade that had killed that interfering busybody!

So Ozpin, in attempting to make Cinder's life more difficult by demonising her actually made it easier for her to attract help from the underworld. Another mistake out of so many... So very many others...
