Yeah, see. This is why I thought Qrow was full of shit when he told me at first. I'm gonna try to condense this, but it's... kind of a lot. And it's all coming from the Relic of Knowledge -- you know, the lamp you stole -- so it has a better chance of being true than anything else I've heard come out of that drunk's mouth.
So.
Salem is immortal. She was punished by the Brothers, who were actually real and actually existed, with immortality because she tried to bring someone she loved back from the dead. She tried to fight the Brothers and lost, and then they left Remnant. (That's what happened to the moon.)
A little later on, the God of Light went back into the lifestream or whatever and offered the person that Salem tried to bring back from the dead a deal. He created the Relics and said "if these ever come back together, we will return, and we will judge you all, and we need you as a guardian until that day comes". And he brought that person back to life, and every time he dies he'll reincarnate as someone else. Until the day that the Relics come together and the Brothers return.
That man was Ozpin.
The entire mess we're in right now is because Salem couldn't just let Ozpin stay dead.
