Ozpin later confirms that he gave the twins the power to shapeshift into birds so that they can gather intel on Salem's activities and the locations of new Maidens. Salem refers to them as 'eyes' when Tyrian reports that he's poisoned Qrow, Salem mentions 'the second eye is blinded', a reference to Raven (the other eye) having abandoned Ozpin years ago (Odin famously had only one eye). His twin sister Raven is based on Huginn. He is also based on Muninn, one of Odin's two ravens in Norse mythology.

Qrow Branwen is based on the Scarecrow, acting as the rational thinker of Ozpin's subordinates.

Instead of a wand, she uses a leather riding crop, and her symbol is a tiara, in keeping with Glinda being the ruler of Quadling Country. She wears a lot of white, in keeping with the Oz rule that only witches are allowed to wear white. Her Semblance ability allows her to perform feats that look like magic and she constantly monitors students through technological means, similar to Glinda the Good Witch's ability to monitor the events of Oz via a magical book.

Glynda Goodwitch is based on Glinda the Good Witch.

Also like Odin, Ozpin is capable of travelling around the world in forms unrecognisable to even those who know him: instead of dying, his memories, Soul and Aura are transported into new bodies, thereby changing his identity every time. Raven and her twin brother, Qrow, kept Ozpin informed of the events of the world because he used his magic to give them the ability to shapeshift into their namesake birds. When Yang tells Blake about her mother, Raven, there is a Norse poem in the background, containing stanzas about Huginn and Muninn. Odin was kept informed of the events of the world through two ravens called Huginn and Muninn. He possesses great wisdom and magical power.

He is also based on Odin, the Norse God.
