Honesty though Ironwood was never shown to be a good ally even going all the way back to his interactions with Ozpin at Beacon. Ironwood has always tried to do the right thing, make the right choices often without having all the relevant information. However, time and time again his decisions just end up making the situation worse. Really you have to feel a little bad for the guy, he tries so hard just to always have it blow up in his face. Ironwood's issue has always been that it is his way or the hard way.

He pretends to listen to people, then goes and does what he wants.

He did it in V2, and then V3, and now in V7.
