After viewing the last scene of "Organ Grinder" Renard may be some type of Grimm but you can't say his treatment towards Nick is because of Nick's different treatment of the creatures. Nick is still learning how to be a Grimm and reluctantly at that. He has really only used his "talents" in the course of his job as a detective, in other words he isn't a full time Grimm, yet! Unlike his Aunt Marie, who I would guess learned through her own experience, that all these creatures are never to be trusted and are to be eliminated. Renard is aware of Nick's inexperience at this point, which is why Renard feels he can control him and Nick is not a threat. But beyond that, Renard has no evidence either way how Nick "feels" about the creatures. We know NIck can be sympathtic, as evidenced in his friendship with Monroe (which is actually not a friendship but a necessary acquiantanceship for Nick to get information on the various creatures) but Renard does not know this, as he is unaware of Monroe's existence let alone his helping Nick. As for what ethics, if any, Renard has, we still don't have enough information at this point. We did find out that Renard is not all powerful and has some enemies, which throws a new twist into who or what he is!
