	Born with a size deformity, Grendel's mother was told he would not survive. However, the boy grew much in size and strength but not in mind.

	As he left the village, he left a trail of mold to the Brisleah Farm [[church]] where he "played" with the [[soldier]]s of the {{Wiki\|Finnmark}}ing [[raid]]er [[Hrothgar (Viking)\|Hrothgar]]. Again, he unknowingly killed them and infected them, although he only wounded Hrothgar, who crawled away to die. Revealing his name to his victims, he stated his plan to return and left for the night. After he returned the next night, he was attacked by the [[Vikings\|Viking]] [[shieldmaiden]] [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] of the [[Raven Clan]], who was investigating the mysterious circumstances of the soldiers' death. Being dealt a killing blow, Grendel called out to his mother before succumbing to his wound.<ref name="Prey in the High Hall">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – The Legend of Beowulf'' – [[Prey in the High Hall]]</ref>		As he left the village, he left a trail of mold to the Brisleah Farm [[church]] where he "played" with the [[soldier]]s of the {{Wiki\|Finnmark}}ing [[raid]]er [[Hrothgar (Viking)\|Hrothgar]].
