Answer:

1. Wiglaf was the first person speaker

2. He was Beowulf's cousin and the only one amongst all of Beowulf's military companions who stood by him as he engaged the dragon in battle.

Step-by-step explanation:

In lines 2761, Wiglaf discovers that the treasures which they discovered at the dragon's den were old and rusted. Most of the treasures included, different vessels, cups, ornaments, and helmets. Beowulf believed that these treasures would stand the test of times and serve as evidence of his ability to defend his people.

Wiglaf was courageous, and a worthy Thane who stood by his master to fight off the dragon when the other companions fled in fear.
