User blog comment:Jkphantom9/Ironwood - Not a shady character after all?/@comment-11188061-20141010021325

How do you get the answer that he's not shady? He's questioning his ties with Ozpin again and again. He couldn't bring himself to trust him fully because Ozpin is always hiding something, and even though they're the ones he confides to he's still not telling enough. He thinks that Ozpin has changed obviously from whatever he was before in the past.

This is a prelude to betrayal bro. And Penny's at the center ofit.
