Wiglaf

Wiglaf is one of Beowulf's kinsmen and thanes who is the only brave warrior to help him fight. Wiglaf conforms perfectly to the heroic code in that he is willing to die attempting to defeat the opponent and, more importantly, to save his lord. This shows that he is some sort of reflection of Beowulf who is valiant, fearless and loyal.
