So this guy from the Volume 2 trailer, could he be Weiss' father? Lets look at some of the facts (not really facts, more like speculation):
 * From the looks of it, he has some grey hair on the sides of his head, so he is old enough to be a father.
 * He appears to be a businessman of some kind, or at the very least a guy with a lot of money.
 * In the intro, he is surrounded by what appear to be robot bodyguards and 2 elite guards, as well as Penny and two unknown people. During the Black Trailer, robots were used to try and defend Dust from the Schnee Dust Company, which Weiss' father runs.
 * Look at his outfit; he has a long white coat, red tie, a grey vest and black shirt. Look at Weiss' outfit; white dress, red lace around the neck, and a black...thing on the front. Ok, so I admit I don't know what every piece of clothing is called, but look at the pic and you will know what I mean. Anyway, all these pieces of clothing and their respective colors all seem to be in the same area, just gender flipped (red tie becomes red neck lace thing).
 * This guy looks very stern and intimidating. Weiss describes her dad as being constantly angry.
 * It has been hinted at during the Question and Answer with Kara Eberle that we would find out how Weiss got her scar at some point in the near future (she said something like "Stay tuned," so it could be as soon as Volume 2). If the scar was caused in some way by her father as most speculate, then it would make sense to have him appear in this season. However this only works if the scar is a result of her father's actions.

So what do you think? Is this her father and if so, does Weiss know that her father is going around making creepy robot girls who go all Cable Guy on you if you call them a friend?
