** When Vale refuses to help Ozpin seal the Relic of Choice, he orders his men to torture her. They hold her down, and she cannot risk using her Semblance or she gives Ozpin what he wants. One of the men uses his Semblance on her, [[MindRape which exerts painful psychic pressure on her head]] that grows more intense by the second. Vale accidentally lets her Semblance flare and activates the sealing orb. Ozpin is ''pleased'' she "cooperated".
** Ozpin has a [[FauxAffablyEvil facade of pleasantry to him]], just like Salem. He shows his true colors when Vale says he is not her King. He immediately loses his cool and calls Vale an "insolent wench".
** When another Silver-Eyed girl shows up after Summer, Ozpin sends her ''first'' year team on a mission meant for ''third'' years. They ''all'' die, not to the Grimm, but to the Silver-Eyed girl.

He's more stunned than terrified as he comprehends what is going on, and cannot act before Ozpin traps him and the girls.

He is willing to ''murder'' America and two witnesses to get more power. None of his actions are done out of revenge or sadism: he's doing it because he honestly thinks there is no other choice.
* Ozpin keeps America pinned with tight magical pressure around his body and [[PsychicStrangle throat]]. America can't move and can barely breathe.
* We finally find out what Ozpin did to Vale. When she refused to take part in his "new solution", he ''tortured'' her until she used her Semblance on the device meant to lock away the Relic of Choice. She calls him an impostor wearing her King's skin and he commands her to never speak ill of her master again while holding the Relic. The pain Vale suffers as the [[TongueTied geas]] takes hold is horrifying; she feels her tongue and throat burning as the Relic binds her and her words are stripped away.
