that you see at one point he was one of his closest subordinates of salem as cinder but for some reason changed sides and betrayed when their plans were in probably peak during the Great War, delaying the plan out for 80 years. that would explain the rancor of salem to ozpin and the apparent guilt of ozpin for past mistakes (that's at least what their conversation conruby kick for volume 1). besides that considering ozpin is based on dumbledore it has a similar story that would not surprise me
