Unknown, since we never saw Z without the staff, much less what he might have been like before it came into his possession. He might have been nothing more than a particularly ugly wesen. Or, as I conjectured earlier, he might have been like LOTR's Gollum and perfectly normal until he started carrying that thing around (I had been hoping it would turn out that he was actually an eighth Grimm Crusader gone bad and that the seven had used the stick to banish him and the staff to the Other Place and then erased him from the families' history).
