Ozpin's Group
Ozpin
The boy with two souls
Oscar is initially very disturbed by Ozpin's presence in his consciousness. At first, Oscar is not receptive to Ozpin or his endeavors, deciding that Ozpin simply is not real and refusing to listen to him. However, over time, Ozpin convinces Oscar that he has a greater role to play and that he must leave for the City of Mistral. After making the decision to leave home, Oscar is much more amicable with Ozpin, although he is shown to be distraught about the Headmaster doing something embarrassing, and strengthening his body and Aura. He has taken to speaking with Ozpin's consciousness within their merged soul, asking him questions, seeking guidance and knowledge, easing his mind in the process. Oscar, although frustrated, appears to appreciate the increased pace of his training, learning to quickly trust Ozpin's wisdom, taking in his muscle memory with natural talent. Oscar is taken aback by Ozpin's mercurial tone when revealing how he granted the Branwen twins the power to transform into corvids, finding the idea to be both surprising and rather bizarre.
Their relationship becomes strained in "Vault of the Spring Maiden" when Ozpin tells Oscar to run from Hazel Rainart. Oscar refuses, citing that Ozpin told him to fight. Even so, Oscar defends Ozpin from Hazel's accusations for Gretchen Rainart's death on the grounds that she made her choice. However, when Hazel attacks Oscar, Ozpin renders him unconscious and forcibly takes control, despite Oscar's protests. In "Haven's Fate", Ozpin has Oscar pass on his message to Qrow to bring the Relic of Knowledge to Atlas.
Due to the events of the Battle of Haven, in "Argus Limited", Oscar angrily refuses Ozpin to take control of him before the battle against the herd of Manticore and a Sphinx. In "Uncovered", he senses Ozpin's fear about his secret being revealed by the Relic of Knowledge. This prompts Oscar to stop Ozpin from taking the Relic from Ruby since he's afraid that she might use it to discover what he has been hiding from them. In "So That's How It Is", Oscar becomes discouraged when Ozpin seals himself within the boy's mind, leaving him scared and confused. He then wonders if he is just going to be another life for the Headmaster. In "Our Way", Oscar admits to his friends that Ozpin guided him to land the airship. While he is unsure if the Headmaster has been watching the group since he supposedly sealed himself away, Oscar believes that Ozpin has been looking out for them.
Qrow Branwen
Oscar and his new acquaintance
Oscar awkwardly approaches Qrow after pressure from Ozpin. He asks for Ozpin's cane back and is very confused about the meaning of the interaction. On the other hand, in his elation in finding Ozpin's latest incarnation, Qrow becomes wildly drunk, furthering Oscar's unease regarding his unexpected subordinate. However, they later show a good relationship, such as when Qrow calms Team RNJR down as they surround him in amazement of him as Ozpin's reincarnation.
In "Vault of the Spring Maiden", Qrow displays a greater level of protectiveness towards Oscar in the heat of battle, diving in front of Oscar to shield him from Hazel's Dust-infused attacks, and keeping him out of harm's way as best he could.
After the battle has concluded in "Haven's Fate", Qrow tells an exhausted Oscar not to strain himself, and Oscar relays Ozpin's message to Qrow: get the Relic of Knowledge to Atlas. As the boy passes out, Qrow gently cushions his fall.
In "So That's How It Is", Qrow lashes out at Ozpin and indirectly punches his host, Oscar, who felt the pain when he was given back control over his body.
James Ironwood
Since arriving at Atlas Academy and meeting Ironwood, Oscar appears to have a familiar relationship with the general, revealing his status as Ozpin's current incarnation to him upon meeting. Ironwood has taken a personal interest in bringing out Ozpin from his dormancy within Oscar, primarily through sparring and training together. Ironwood has placed a special confidence in Oscar, having taken him on a personal trip to the Atlas Vault where the Staff of Creation is kept safe. There, the two have an exchange where Oscar expresses familiarity with the vault and the system that uses the Staff's power to keep Atlas air-born. Ironwood appears to see the layers of Ozpin's personality within Oscar, relieved to have his old friend back in any capacity.
Leonardo Lionheart
Oscar first encounters Lionheart in "The More the Merrier" during which he quickly challenged the turncoat Headmaster to a fight once the Battle of Haven began. Initially startled by that fact the Oscar was Ozpin's latest reincarnation, Lionheart quickly regains his composure upon realizing that since Ozpin and Oscar could not have been paired together for long Oscar was not really Ozpin at the moment and decided that if he could capture him and deliver him to Salem he could become free from her influence. After Oscar notices Ruby had been knocked unconscious, he defeats Lionheart by knocking him down the staircase in a moment of sheer rage.

In "Necessary Sacrifice", Oscar admits his fear to Ruby of the inevitable battle they will have to face and bursts out his anger towards her because he does not understand how she appears to be calm and confident in the midst of the chaos surrounding her. However, he learns of her sorrow of losing her friends and her own fear of Salem and apologizes for his outburst, showing sympathy for her loss. As Ruby leaves, she assures him that despite the difficulty of the challenges ahead, the fact that he is there in Mistral shows he is braver than he thinks. Alone, Oscar admits to Ozpin that what they are facing is tough on her as well. Oscar appears to have a deep admiration for Ruby's take on life, her courage and her kindness in spite of all she has suffered through. Oscar even tries to emulate her kindness in his interactions with Hazel Rainart during their duel by offering him clarity and mercy.
Later, in "Vault of the Spring Maiden", Oscar sees Ruby lying on the ground, knocks Lionheart off the stairs in sheer rage at seeing her hurt and immediately runs to her side, urging her to get back up.

In "So That's How It Is", he is ordered by Yang to bring out Ozpin since she is not finished with him, but Oscar is unable to bring out Ozpin due to Ozpin locking himself deep in Oscar's mind.
