Has it been confirmed that Jaune's family are heroes, or just his Great-Grandfather. I mean his GG according to Jaune was a great hero during the time of whatever war he was a part of. At the time his weapon may have been one of the most impressive things out there (a shield that is also a sheath, holy cow!). However Jaune himself admits he faked his way into Beacon to be a hero, meaning he may have taken the sword and sheath because he didn't have a weapon of his own. If his parents were also heroes, as well as his grandparents, you would think that either they would make a weapon for him or he would inherit his father's weapon.

What I'm getting at is all we know about his family is that his Great-Grandfather was a hero and Jaune took his weapon to attend Beacon. The rest of his family may not be warriors at all, let alone heroes.
