Character Profile: Qrow Brauwen

The uncle of Ruby and Yang, Qrow Brauwen is a master hunter on Remnant, as well as an instructor at Signal Academy. It was Qrow that had instructed Ruby in the use of scythe weapons, and it was her skill at it that allowed her to be fasttracked by Professor Ozpin from Signal to Beacon Academy. He was also the one who had rescued a young Yang and Ruby from three beowolves when Yang had decided to find her missing mother Raven and brought Ruby with her in a red wagon.

Because of the family name, it is unknown if Qrow has any relation with Raven, who she shares a resemblance to her daughter Yang. The two were once part of a hunting team that also consisted of Taiyang Xiao Long, the father of Ruby and Yang, and Summer Rose, Ruby's late mother.

Qrow is also acquainted with Ozpin and General James Ironwood of the kingdom of Atlas military, both of them asking him, possibly along Taiyang, to find a hidden enemy which seems to be threatening Remnant.
