I actually thought of Crimson as the narrator at the beginning of the series and that she was someone at the same level as Ozpin and Glynda. I thought that whole narration and Ozpin's response to it at the end was actually a snippet of some conversation between Crimson and Ozpin, shortly before they parted ways.

The narrator seemed like someone who was one the side of mankind but then lost faith in them. Especially when she said the line, "Even the most brilliant lights eventually flicker and die." I think Crimson is just now someone who is just looking out for her own gain and not really concerned for the safety of mankind anymore.
