I also think to when Ozpin seemed "out of it" in Episode 3. Part of me wonders if the Narrator is the big bad or an emissary of such and Ozpin has been in some spiritual stand-off like Aragorn staring into the palantir of Orthanc to challenge Sauron. He was "out of it" cause he was drained from another confrontation like the one in the first episode. One might take the comment "you may prepare your guardians" as a general reference to hunstmen and huntresses, but it could also be that this is a very specific reference. Interesting, but Jen Taylor (Cortana) as the Big Bad? sorry, but that doesn't really resonate with me*. That aside, that's a good point, especially about Ozpin's character break in EP3. Also, good LOTR reference. Maybe Ozpin is putting on a show of force to intimidate the big bad, but he has Ruby and Jaune (or Frodo and Sam) as secret weapons.


 * That is not to say she still can't be evil. Crimson, perhaps...?
