About Cardin, I never really liked his character in the first place, but what I would like even less is if his character just stopped appearing completely for the rest of the series.

My personal headcanon is that the Fall of Beacon changed Cardin. Surviving the Grimm attack, and seeing his friends die (maybe even his team), caused Cardin to realize that he needed to change his ways.

I hope that the next time we see him, he is trying to do his part by risking his life protecting the borders of Vale from the Grimm, or something like that.

The episode in which we are shown that Cardin has changed for the better will be like a send-off to him, and he will have no further relevance to the plot other than sporadical appereances whenever the plot focuses on Vale.
