My theory is that Ozpin is the wizard from the story of the 4 maidens and Salem is a very old Grimm, possibly the first in existence. He and Salem seem to have known each other for long time by the way they interact with each other. It's said that mankind was born into a world of darkness because of the creatures of Grimm, so that means the Grimm were there before humankind, and I think that's why Salem is more knowledgable and always one or more steps ahead of Ozpin. The fact that he looks the way he does can't really mean that he isn't the wizard because the wizard was able to grant 4 women the power of the seasons, which is a power which monstrous potential, so it's possible he has kept himself alive with magic. s

If Ozpin is the based off of the wizard of Oz then it would make sense. If he is, then other characters may also be inspired by the wizard of Oz. Ruby is the heroine with the small dog, Weiss would be the Tin Man based of how she acts (by that I mean how she can be so cold to people and neglect the emotions of others), Blake is the cowardly lion because she ran from her fears and her past (Adam and the white fang), and Yang is the "Mindless" scarecrow because she doesn't think about her actions enough and gets herself into more trouble (the loss of her arm for example). Honestly, I can't wait to learn more about this whole series.
