Reasonable, just, hard to hate, easy to love, gave feels of badassery, sent heroes on their 1st test, died about 2 hours into the plot. Of course, if Ozpin does die, it needs to be in an overly badass way. Duncan, while greatly injured, almost bleeding out, probably with a good number of organs injured, jumped on top of an ogre and killed it with a stab to the face. Ozpin needs something like that.

As for the XCOM Council, I wonder if they will suffer the same fate as the Mass Effect Council. Both have made stupid decisions: The 1st one took Ozpin out of his position because of a Grimm breach, where almost no one was even injured, and every single Grimm was eliminated in less than 12 minutes, all estructural damage was fixed, and he even caught a wanted criminal while at it (not really, but from the Council's PoV...).

And the 2nd one can be perfectly described in a single sentence: "Ah Yes, "Reapers", we have dismissed that claim."

You can say this gives Ozpin more freedom to defeat Cinder, but it was still a stupid decision by the Council. If Ozpin is the Duncan, he should have a beard, a deeper voice, kill one of the supposed protagonists for trying to back out, and presumably die (no one found Duncan's body, just his weapons).

If the council ends up being the Mass Effect Council, they really need to hire the guy who voiced the Turian Councilor, no one delivers an "Ah yes, Reapers" moment like him.
