### Role in the Beatdown Lore

Ozpin is the founder of Beatdown's Mansion, being one of the highest ranking staff members alongside Asgore and Albus Dumbledore. The rest of the staff listen to whatever it is he has to say. He takes a great deal of interest in the fighters within the mansion, wanting to foster their growth as people.

In BeatdownBound, it was revealed that Ozpin personally invited Watts and Rosalene after they were sent a prototype game showcasing what "Beatdown" would become. Since then, Ozpin had been silently keeping watch on the Mansion and fighters, with his other staff members and PR leads helping organize Beatdown.

During the aftermath of Tord's break-in at the mansion, Ozpin called for a staff meeting to discuss what to do. Despite the busy schedule of the other staff members (with Speedwagon busy with Assist Trophy orientation and Neil and Eva giving Gary Oak and Stu Pickles tours respectively), all available staff came together to discuss the break-in, with Ozpin advising they stay cautious and keep the handling of the situation low-key. The group finished the meeting as Watts and Rosalene brought up fighters that would be good candidates to track down Tord. While leaving, Ozpin finds the Mr. Friend doll left behind by Stu, and seeing his potential as an inventor, meets with him in his room to offer him a position as the head of robotics for the Beatdown Training Colosseum. Ozpin also receives Qrow Branwen's reconnaissance and recommendation to bring Kiran and the Order of Heroes to Beatdown.

In BeatdownBound, Ozpin meets with his old friend General Ironwood to discuss the mysterious absence of Salem in this world. Ironwood also attempted to question Ozpin about the mansion and why this place specifically was so important, to which Ozpin assured him that they were here for a reason. After their meeting ended, Frisk would come in and even help themselves to some of Ozpin's hot cocoa. Ozpin was also in attendance for the world premiere of Dangeresque: 4 REAL This Time! (and presumably allowed them to set the time and space for the premiere), setting aside Dumbledore's thoughts of the film being "silly" by wanting to see the fighters enjoy themselves.

Ozpin would eventually bring the rest of the staff together to his office to discuss the next steps for dealing with Tord; asking The Crystal Gems to track him down. After seeing the staff discuss it with Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl, Garnet personally tells Ozpin they will do it. A week later, the staff would be reassembled at night after Amethyst was poofed by DIO. Following this, Ozpin would pull Vriska Serket aside to ask her a few questions in regards to the events of that night. Even with Vriska trying to shut down Ozpin’s genuine interest and care, he asks her who she really is. Ozpin, taking the role of protecting the world seriously, once again asks if she has anything to tell him, to which she tells him nothing. He leaves, reminding her that she can come talk to him if she ever needs.

## Trivia

* Ozpin was first teased in the Assist Trophies Volume 1 outro, and his name was playfully censored by Watts's spilled coffee in PeanutButterGamer's intro. His proper debut was in Stu Pickles's outro.
