The thing with Ozpin is somewhat complicated. Its not just one soul that changes host every time one of the hosts dies. But rather, it seems that, after the host dies, the host's soul is the one that goes to another person. But it seems that the previous soul had combined with the host's souls beforehand. Still, it seems that the only voice that the new host hears, is that of the previous host.

That actually causes my to wonder something. Salem has made it clear that she hates Ozpin, right? As far as we know, Ozpin only refers to the previos host, the one we know.

But could it be that "Ozpin" is like the collective name for everyone that belongs to the line, or that everyone who inherits the previous soul starts to call himself Ozpin? I really doubt that the last one is the case.

So, what could have Ozpin done to make Salem hate him that much? Or does Salem hates everyone from the line equally?

You know, here we tend to call the Warrior King of Vale, "Ozking", because it seems very likely that he was the previous person that had a soul inside his body.

However, I have my doubts.

It seems extremely unlikely that Ozpin himself was the Warrior King. However, we know the the Warrior King founded the schools, and that Ozpin helped build Haven. So, unless Ozpin considers himsrlf and the Warrior King one and the same because he inherited his soul (which, admittedly, could be the case, as it is entirely possible that the souls kind pf "become one" over time), then it seems that they lived during the same period.

Then again, even if they did, the Warrior King's soul could have gone to Ozpin after dying, because so far there is nothing to indicate that the soul has to go to a young person. My only problem with Ozpin saying that he helped build Haven is that that would make him around 100 years at best in the beginning of the series. Then again, it is possible that the people of Remnant have extremely long lifespans, or maybe just the people that inherit souls do.

And about the theory that the God of Light defeated the God of Darkness and stole his powers, there might be a hint to that in the episode. When we see the shadows, we see that the God of Light actually defeated the God of Darkness, before proposing the alliance with him. The fight they had and the younger god being defeated before agreeing was not mentioned by Qrow at all.

Sure, it could be nothing, but it could also mean that the story was "slighly" modified. But if it is true, then it raises the question of why would the story be modified in the first place.
