User blog comment:FinalWholockianGrrlGamer/Headcanon: Cinder, Ozpin, and the Mysterious Narrator/@comment-74.134.150.40-20131215172551

A very interesting idea. :) However, there are some things that can be explained in other ways. I'm not sure if Roman, himself has any blackmail material on the White Fang. He seemed to be pressured into working with them by Cinder, and it's possible that the WF were as well. So either Cinder has the blackmailing material or she's very in-league with the leader/leader figures of the WF.

A reason why they might not have robbed a quarry is because it was too high-profile or too well-guarded. You're more likely to be aware of bank robberies than simpler store robberies. They're also likely to have much less security. Furthermore, if you did want to get rid of Dust, it would probably be more efficient to attack the quarries and companies, not the small stores. Stop it from the source.

I've often wondered if Qrow was the man's first or last name, often assuming it was his last. I'm not sure about him being a part of this team CNDR, but if I were to think he was... Maybe his name is Dusty? It fits with CNDR. It's reminiscent of a color. And I can quote Ozpin: "...I've only seen one other scythe wielder of that skill before. A dusty old crow..."

Personally, I believe Qrow, Ozpin and Glynda are/were all in the same team, which would be inspired by Thw Wizard of Oz characters. In this case, it makes sense for Qrow to be the scarecrow (and perhaps Dusty still works for his name). It also makes sense for him to use a scythe, which was originally a farmer's tool, along with scarecrows.

Then again, Monty can and will often surprise us. Who knows what's in store?
