The whole girl in the tower situation lends credence to the idea he was some sort of prince before he got cursed because they’re setting up a typical fairy tale scenario that’ll end up getting twisted into something much darker. That silhouette doesn't look anything like how people are rendered in RWBY, so it hints almost nothing about the King of Vale's appearance aside from that he was a dude who wore a crown and carried a sword and scepter.
