Beowulf (Myths and Legends)

Beowulf is the hero of the ancient epic poem of the same name. He also appears in the début episode of Disney's Animated Myths and Legends which aired on December 5, 1997, in which he is voiced by Jeff Bennett.

Biography
Little is known about Beowulf's childhood and early life. His father was a brave warrior who died when his son was young. The young Beowulf trained to become a great warrior like his father, and as a teenager, he killed an entire clan of giants in the Orkneys. This later led to him becoming a brave hero.

Appearance and personality
Beowulf is a tall, muscular young man with brown hair and hazel eyes. He sports thick armour, a wolfskin cape, a black tunic, brown leather gauntlets, black trousers, brown boots with fur-lined tops and a spiked helmet (which he wears twice). He is also armed with a sword. In his older years, Beowulf's hair is a faded brown colour and he has also grown a beard. He also wears a red cloak trimmed with ermine and a golden crown.
