Which character is described in these lines?

Lord of the Scyldings, this single petition?
Not to refuse me, defender of warriors,
Friend-lord of folks, so far have I sought thee,
That I may unaided, my earlmen assisting me,
This brave-mooded war-band, purify Heorot.

Answer:

These lines characterize Beowulf

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines of this excerpt are taken from the Chapter 7 in this story, and they are written in the first person, since the speaker is Beowulf that makes that all the information he is giving by using the pronoun I is about him, he is making a petition and he uses a lot of descriptions and experiences of his life in order to get the answer he wants.
