Also, having him be a villain after Leonheart would just be cliche. We already have one traitor in Ozpin's inner circle, we don't need another one. Uh... he's been spiraling out of control since... hell, even the first time we see him in V2 he had a certain tone to him.

This was completely expected since V4

Also there's a difference between villain and traitor. Leo was on salem's side. Itonwood is a villain because he's so terrified of her he's willing to do anything to get rid of her
