Can this kid not just be some random-ass kid who's not some super hugely immensely important character like Ozpin, a Maiden, or holder of the Wizard's power?! Why must everyone jump to such things, when all I thought was "RNJR or Yang might encounter this kid"?! They made this kid his own model, focused a decent amount of time on him doing random shit and showed him waking up in such a way that implies he saw the villain meeting.

I think it's fair for speculation that this kid is more important than just some random person a character meets.
