Prior to the game's events, [[Bianca]] accidentally left her [[Spell Book]] behind at a library, and Grendor stole the Spell Book to try and make himself smarter. However, when Grendor tried to apply the spell on himself, he accidentally read it upside-down, causing him to grow larger and a second head. Grendor received a migraine in both of his heads, and in the Spell Book, he found that the wings of 100 [[fairy|fairies]] would cure his headache. Grendor kidnapped [[Zoe]] and cast a magical spell to freeze the fairies in [[Fairy World]]s.<ref>''Spyro: Season of Ice'' manual, pages 8 and 9.</ref>
With his wand, Grendor can conjure not only fire spells but ice spells as well. Without his wand, he can cast fire magic and use his own strength to try and crush his enemies.

Grendor was a Rhynoc who, along with the many other Rhynocs, became jobless after the defeat of the [[Sorceress]].
