Though, given the constant references to fairy tales and Ozpin's own origin, it's possible that Ruby's uncle could be a highly intelligent fellow that used to be considered quite stupid until he got a proper diploma and everyone acknowledged his brain. (Coincidentally, his two compatriots were acknowledged at the same time, one for his bravery under fire and the other for his sensitivity.) "Crow" being more a shortening of his nickname, dontchaknow.
They might have two... Peg and I were just discussing this morning the curious way Professor Ozpin referred to Ruby's uncle, as "an old crow". Can Ruby be related to a crow faunus? (Of course, every faunus we've seen so far has been a mammal hybrid, but still...)
Of course he could just be a friend-of-the-family "uncle"...
