Which character is described in these lines?

"Then the mighty war-spirit endured for a season,
Bore it bitterly, he who bided in darkness,
That light-hearted laughter loud in the building
Greeted him daily; there was dulcet harp-music,
Clear song of the singer."

These lines refer to Grendel, the monster from the epic poem Beowulf.
