I think it's rather obvious that Salem is just a really, really old Grimm. After all, Grimm grow stronger and learn over time, it only makes sense that if one were to survive for hundreds, if not thousands of years, they'd eventually develop sentience.

Since Grimm are basically purely negative emotions, it only makes sense that her motivation is still the same back when she was as mindless as the average Beowulf: destroy humanity and all positive emotions.

Something interesting is that she seems rather positive about Dust in the first episode, despite it being one of the few things that stand between Humanity and annihilation.
