Thor's Day: Grendel for 13th Age

Grendel is some sort of unknown, abstract spirit that possesses or infects different individuals, and even societies, over time. There has been some discussion over what exactly the core character of this spirit of Grendel is, for the people it has infected have had fairly different personalities and have acted in seemingly very different ways. They may be crime lords, avenging mothers, madmen, emperors, mages, and protective warriors--not much seems to link them together. Grendel is often characterized as evil, or the devil, but that is not exactly it, or at least that is not all of it.
