My guess is that Salem is a contemporary of Ozpin's who chose to go down the dark path when Ozpin chose to follow the light, the Nimiüe to his Myrrdin. She wasn't always the Mistress of the Grimm but the Dark Brother made her such as a reward for her choosing him, just as the Light Brother gave Ozpin immortality to ever be able to oppose her.
