How about the Schnee family butler? He's an aging man, probably in his late 50's to early 60's, who has been working for the Schnee family for an incredibyl long time. He would most likely have played as a sort of surrogate father for Weiss, who's biological dad was never around when she was growing up until her preteen years when she learned to fight. In all reality, Weiss see's her butler as more of a fatheryl figure than her real father.

I can imagine the butler being combat trained, mainly due to how many enemies the Schnee family has. At one point, the Ruby and the group, minus Weiss, are running to the Schnee mansion to protect Weiss from a group of Torchwik's men, who are trying to kidnap her. However, upon entering...

(All the henchmen are laying around on the ground, knocked out. The room has taken no damage, and the butler, completely unharmed, is standing at the top of the stairwell directly across the room from the door. It doesn't even look like any of the henchmen minus one unlucky groaning bastard even got within 10 feet of the stairwell before getting beaten down.)

Ruby: What?

(The Butler notices Ruby.)

Butler: Oh, greetings Ms. Rose, Ms. Long, and Ms. Belladona. Sorry for the mess.

(The others are still shocked.)

Ruby: W-What?

Yang: How did you...?

Blake: Is he even human...or faunus?

(The Butler realigns his gloves, and smirks.)

Butler: No, merely human. I am just One Hell of a Butler.

(Ruby is still twitching in a somewhat frozen state.)

Ruby: What?
