Though Shade's representative is still unknown. Not really familiar enough with the Wizard of Oz to throw out an idea on what character could Vacuo's leader be based off: Dorothy herself? I think Oscar is Dorothy.

Dorothy:


 * Lived on a farm with her aunt (and uncle? I don't remember if there was an uncle in the picture)


 * Was bored with living on the farm and wanted something more


 * Ended up being unexpectedly taken from her farm and thrown into a magical adventure (by a tornado, but still)

Oscar:


 * Lived on a farm with his aunt


 * Wanted something more than to just be a farmhand, according to Ozpin and the Volume 5 Trailer


 * Ended up unexpectedly being in a situation where he has to leave his farm, thrown into an adventure

Shade's headmaster could be the Scarecrow. Ozpin was Oz, Ironwood is the Tin Man, and Lionheart is the Cowardly Lion, so all that's left is Scarecrow.

And no, Qrow is not the Scarecrow. He and Raven allude to Hugin and Munin, Odin's ravens who fly across the world and gather info for him.
