I honestly thought Ozpin was going to be the Duncan. Reasonable, just, hard to hate, easy to love, gave feels of badassery, sent heroes on their 1st test, died about 2 hours into the plot. Of course, if Ozpin does die, it needs to be in an overly badass way. Duncan, while greatly injured, almost bleeding out, probably with a good number of organs injured, jumped on top of an ogre and killed it with a stab to the face. Ozpin needs something like that.

As for the XCOM Council, I wonder if they will suffer the same fate as the Mass Effect Council. Both have made stupid decisions: The 1st one took Ozpin out of his position because of a Grimm breach, where almost no one was even injured, and every single Grimm was eliminated in less than 12 minutes, all estructural damage was fixed, and he even caught a wanted criminal while at it (not really, but from the Council's PoV...).

And the 2nd one can be perfectly described in a single sentence: "Ah Yes, "Reapers", we have dismissed that claim."

You can say this gives Ozpin more freedom to defeat Cinder, but it was still a stupid decision by the Council.
