@Chish: Basing myself on the info in this wiki....Qrow's trivia page mentions both Bran the Blessed and the Scarecrow as possible allusions....but everytime, it's a maybe, never stated as a fact, nor showing good evidence of it.

>Evidence for "Bran the Blessed" is literally nothing more than being the brother of a Branwen.

>Evidence for the Scarecrow is that 1) "he's drunk",  2) "gathers inteligence for Ozpin", and 3) "his connection to Ozpin and Ironwood", compared to the Scarecrow searching the Wizard to find a Brain.

The former's not a really strong comparison, the second's pretty much the inverse, and the latter means nothing, since multiple related characters (connected in any way) rarely have any connections in their allusions (Adam and Blake are 1 in a hundred).

There's also evidence for Hugginn (and Muninn), which is comparatively stronger:

1) Gathers inteligence for Ozpin, very similar to Odin and his ravens.

2) When Yang was narrating about how Qrow saved her and Ruby when kids, in the chalkboard, there's an extract from a poem about Huginn and Muninn. Especially conspicuous considering the extract itself has nothing to do with the story in any way (likely Monty's idea).

Total: Evidence suggests Qrow was meant to allude first and foremost to Odin's raven(s). The "allusion" to Bran the Blessed could go from accidental to coincidental, and the allusion to the Scarecrow depends more on association than any real evidence.

Overall...Qrow isn't really a good example of "alludes to many", or at least "purposefuly alludes to many".
