Character from Volume 5 by Rooster Teeth
The immortal enemy — Salem directs her agents from the Land of Darkness, orchestrating the attack on Haven to claim the Relic of Knowledge. She cannot be killed. Ozpin has been fighting her for thousands of years and has never won.
Salem does not appear at Haven — she sends her agents. But her presence shapes every event of Volume 5. She coordinated the attack: Cinder and her team for the vault, Adam's White Fang for the assault, Lionheart as the inside man. The plan was elegant and should have worked. What the team is beginning to learn — what Ozpin desperately doesn't want them to know — is that Salem is immortal. Not figuratively. Not 'hard to kill.' Actually, permanently, cursed-by-the-gods immortal. She cannot die. Ozpin has been fighting her across millennia and the best he's ever achieved is temporary setbacks. The Relics, the Maidens, the academies — they're all pieces of a game that Ozpin has been losing for longer than civilizations have existed. Salem commands Grimm. She corrupts what she touches. And she is patient in the way that only someone with infinite time can be.
Deathly pale with white skin veined with dark purple, red and black eyes with dark sclera, and white hair pulled into a bun with six offshoots. Wears a long black robe with red and purple accents. She is beautiful in the way that a glacier is beautiful — inhuman, ancient, and utterly indifferent to the things that live beneath her.
Also known as: Salem, the witch, the Queen
