Don't know of any "standard biography", though you could check out some
links on-line (the Triples home page lists the following:

http://www.fermentmagazine.org/rands/recoltes1.html
http://www.grothendieck-circle.org/
http://modular.fas.harvard.edu/sga/
http://www.math.jussieu.fr/~maltsin/groth/Derivateurs.html

(though the last two are reprints of papers etc)).  In addition, a French
publication "Bourbaki" (pub by Pour La Science - the French edition of
Scientific American) mentions him as part of that group - and has a rather
nice photo of him and his child.

Good luck!
