@Someone;

Chish already went into detail on Qrow's possible allusion.

''It's actually looking like Raven and Qrow allude to Hugin and Munin respectively. Hugin and Munin are a pair of ravens who fly across the world to gather info for Odin.''

''The idea that Raven and Qrow allude to them came to light because, in Burning the Candle, the top of the chalkboard that Yang draws on while telling Blake about her search for Raven has a quote from the poem Grímnismál, which is about Hugin and Munin. Specifically this quote:''

"Hugin and Munin fly each day over the spacious earth. I fear for Hugin, that he come not back, yet more anxious am I for Munin."

''Raven (Hugin) left everyone behind and did not want to return ("I fear for Hugin, that he come not back"). Yet Raven is okay, whereas Qrow (Munin) has turned to alcoholism and apparently worries about causing problems for the people he cares about with his Semblance ("yet more anxious am I for Munin").''

''Qrow's job prior to Volume 4 was to travel Remnant to gather info for Ozpin. He was sending Ozpin, Ironwood, and possibly others in the group info that he uncovered, as we found out not only from the message he sent to Ozpin at the end of Volume 1, but also from Ozpin and Ironwood's conversation in Welcome to Beacon and the conversation in It's Brawl in the Family. He even told Ruby and Yang about a mission he took to gather intel in the swamps west of Mistral, and in End of the Beginning, he revealed to Ruby that all those missions he went on were for Ozpin. Raven also seems to have a way of gathering info as well, but she does not use this to help Ozpin. Hugin and Munin fly across the world to gather info for Odin and report back to him, but Odin fears that Hugin will not come back home.''
