Well, if every living thing has a soul and they are physically incarnated souls, then they must have emerged from the souls of the creatures inhabiting Remnant prior to mankind's creation. But without an proper body to house them, then they would be "beings of anonimity" as Pyrrha puts them, for they would have no vessel from which to forge an identity. And if their soul is occupied with simply existing, then it makes sense that they wouldn't have any Aura powers. They'd basically be a kind of "Hollow", though how they'd end up as corrupted I'm not sure. With mankind presumably having stronger souls, I wouldn't doubt that the stronger Grimm could be corrupted human/Faunus spirits, which means that so long as there is darkness in mortals, there will always be Grimm.
