Which perfectly fits what the OP said: At times Ironwood may be so cold he seems heartless, but he's not a sociopath, he's a good person, though rather dicktatorial.

That said:  @OP: You call him an hipocrite on Trust, but, so far that's only been the case once, when he spent all of Vol.2 being distrustful of Ozpin and then asking him to trust him after the Breach.

...However, in-context, Ozpin was a far bigger hipocrite. He spent all of Vol.2 and 3 doing effectively nothing but watch, and the one "action" he did in Vol.2 was questionable: Send Team RWBY (1st years, mind you) + 1 Teacher to find the WF outpost in Mt.Glenn, instead of at least sending a team of profesional Huntsmen, or hell, Atlesian Specialists.

Sure, Ironwood's idea was absurd, but Ironwood at least tried to do something instead of just stand there and watch like Ozpin did. But nah, Ozpin shot him down and just sent 4 teenagers with attitude and a guy who drinks too much coffee, instead of, say, asking him to send Specialists. Result? The Breach.

And yet, Ozpin still demanded Ironwood to trust him, without giving him any reasons for it beyond "just because". Again: Ozpin had done nothing against the WF or Cinder's plans beyond watching, gave no reasons to Ironwood to trust him, and yet still demanded Ironwood to trust him for no reason.

Ironwood has trust issues, sure. But with people like Ozpin, said trust issues are justified.
