I know the idea seems farfetched but given what has happened in volume 4 there is some compelling evidance.

Many in the fandom have assumed Ozpin to be the Wizard from the story of the Maidens. But what if he is something much more older and powerful? Despite being apparently killed by Cinder offscreen Ozpin has somehow revealed to be alive, his spirit or aura somehow merged with Oscar. Based on comments made by Ozpin during his talk with the young man it is implied that Ozpin himself was once a normal man until he to went through a merger.

Salem is a new charector just introduced at the end of the last volume, all we know is she is looking for the Relics left by the brother gods and she is ammasing a large powerbase. Now given the fact of her inhuman appearance and her history with Ozpin and her seeming control of the Grimm this I think hints of her connection to the god of darkness.

We know the brothers created humanity together and apparently left the world sometime after. But Remnant some time after. But what if there is more to the story? What if the brothers continue their ancient feud, taking mortal forms for whatever reason.

Both Salem and Ozpin have shown to have an extensive knowledge of Remnant's history and lore and both seem to have a deep understanding of human nature. Ozpin himself is convinced the gods were real, maybe because he is the god of light (or at least his avatar) and has all the memories of his past incarnations.

Although Oscar himself does not have access to all these memories, it could be Ozpin is slowly merging ith Oscar and once the process is complete Oscar will have access to all his memories and abilities.

This of course is just some wild guessing and theories but what do you guys think?
