He could be there to get more henchmen. Let's not overlook the fact that Summer is typically associated with the colors of the sun and heat, like Winter is associated with the colors of cold and snow, Spring is associated with green, Autumn is associated with brown.

Neither the statue nor the altar are proof that Summer Rose is Ruby's mother as opposed to an older ancestor. Neither Jaune nor Ruby makes any statement as to whether they've met or know their ancestors. The statue shows a man and a young girl. The man is speculated to be Jaune Arc's great great grandfather. The young girl in the statue isn't old enough to be a great great grandmother. This means that while Jaune's ancestor possibly died before the events of Ruby's "weapon resume", it's possible that Ruby was raised by her grandmother before she died, resulting that Ruby is now raised by the Xiao Longs (or whoever is in charge of the sisters).
