I figured out who Clover Ebi is based on.

His weapon is a bloody fish hook. A god damn fish hook. His last name "Ebi" means "shrimp"

Clover Ebi is based on Aesop's Fable "A Fisherman’s Good Luck".

A fisherman had been a long while at work without catching any thing, and so in great trouble and despair, he resolv’d to take up his tackle, and be gone: but in that very instant a great fish leapt into the boat, and by this providence he made a tolerable day on’t.

Moral: Patience, constancy, and perseverance, in an honest cause and duty, can never faile of a happy end, one way or other. SO the real boss battle of  this Volume will be Clover's patience vs Qrow's semblance. I feel I should point out Aesop are not "boss level" characters for the volume... look at where they are on the group shot of the intro... Not a single villain in the shot, Aesop/Ironwood/Winter are the potential antagonists, but they are front and center, which indicates that AT BEST, they'll be mid-season bosses, this is one of the reasons I say that wide-shot is unfinished, because in Ep 1 we already know like 99% of the characters in the shot and unless Robyn is a villain we already know heroes are missing.
