Real talk though. How are we going to address Ozpin's 'death'? We've had him as 'Missing' due to Qrow's wording for the whole offseason, and now Salem declares him as dead. While we don't know anything about what happened between the middle of the Ep12 fight and Cinder ascending the tower, (meaning he could have died there and then), it would be horrible payoff for us to not see him die. And just hear about it. (This happened with Tukson, but he was not an extremely important character like Ozpin).

I'll backtrack a bit here. In the Aura World of Remnant, we were closed with Ozpin being "more than just a man" due to his control of Aura. We've interpreted this mostly as his ability to live vastly longer, but to be honest, I still don't think that plot point has paid off. I really think he's able to trascend life or cheat death in some way, so that brings me to...

Bringing it back: Do we refer to Ozpin as 'Deceased' or 'Deceased according to Salem'? Honestly, I don't want my personal theories to get in the way of the truth here, but it seems off to say he's deceased. Either way, I think that's what the wiki should go by is "Deceased", and we can always change it upon further revelation.
