I think. Chiron is undying, but only with age Wrong. Let me explain why:

First of all, Chiron's not a normal centaur. Centaurs were descended from Ixion and Nephele (a cloud....). Chiron, meanwhile, was born after Cronus had sex with the nymph Philyra in the form of a horse. The main difference is that his front legs are human, unlike normal centaurs whose entire lower half is horse-like.

Precisely because of this divine parentage, Chiron could not die. He did die though, but only after Hercules bargained Chiron's inmortality in exchange for Prometheus's life. It was after that that Chiron was able to be killed. The exact context varies, but generally he dies by being hit with an arrow poisoned with blood of the Hydra.

That aside, I seriously doubt Ozpin could win.

Why? Because Chiron wasn't just a demigod. Chiron was taught by Apollo and/or Artemis, and his skill at hunt and archery and gymnastics was equal to them. And Apollo himself is the God of Archery (alongside Artemis). And even in the non-physical skills, his ability at prophecies, his knowledge, and his inteligence, is also excellent.

Ozpin can't hold a candle to him.
