Now and then some trivial argument would break out, and one of them would kill another one, and all the others would detach themselves from the killer as neatly as blood clotting, and they’d consider the case and they’d either excuse him, for some reason, or else send him out to the forest to live by stealing from their outlying pens like a wounded fox. At times I would try to befriend the exile, at other times I would try to ignore him, but they were treacherous. In the end, I had to eat them. How is Grendel characterized in this excerpt?

Grendel is characterized as someone lonely and not tolerant.

Explanation:

The above excerpt shows how Grendel missed company and was a lonely creature. For this reason, he watched the human race, looking at those who were exiled for being the outcasts of society, that is, people who were no longer welcome and were expelled from the social cycle. However Grendel wishes to make friends with them to have a company, however the human being was treacherous and always betrayed Grendel, which made him try to ignore them, but they remained treacherous. In this case, he did not tolerate human beings and ended up eating them to protect himself.
