I really don't know what to say about his cane. TBH, I never thought of that--maybe it just stays at Beacon Proper.

As for his personality, I'm under the impression that Ozpin is a master of mind games and loves messing with his students' heads. He keeps changing personalities in order to remain unpredictable, as a subtle conditioning mechanism for Beacon students not to get complacent. That, or his character break in EP3 was caused by something he had just read that really pissed him off. Or he just hates the "welcome to Beacon" speech that much.
