1. If the SEW did indeed predate Ozpin (and probably Salem too), they were likely created as "guardians" meant to protect the world against evil, such as the Grimm.

2. Since Grimm were created by the God of Darkness, the SEW could have been created by the God of Light in response. Then, they created humanity together later.
