Once regarded as a legend among the Canopy Kingdom for having slain two members of the then feared Gigan race in the ringside during the turbulent Grand War the warrior Grendel and his mother, he had garnered the adoration of the nation and countless fans as the man who had defeated the unstoppable Gigans. Having sunk into a life of excess, Beowulf yearns to reestablish his image as a hero among the people after his wresting career had hit rock bottom following the end of the Grand War. While he started by telling them about his glory days, he later told them the location that they would likely find Theodore after Parasoul threatened him. Prior to the start of the game, Beowulf was questioned by Parasoul and the Black Egrets about his former producer Theodore Medici due to his involvement in a criminal investigation by them. His attacks are thematically based on these three topics: The wolf, Grendel's arm and wrestling techniques. Besides his folding chair, Beowulf also uses Grendel's arm as a weapon. During certain moves, and occasionally while being hit or winning a match, the wolf's head covers Beowulf's face, making him look like a hybrid between wolf and human. He also wears a wolf headdress and fur over his shoulders and back.
He is wearing brown pants with suspenders and fur strapped to his legs. Hrunting was the sword of the mythological hero, and is referenced in Skullgirls with the "Hurting", an ordinary (but durable) chair used by Beowulf.īeowulf is portrayed as a well-conditioned wrestler with black hair and beard stubble. Will Beowulf be able to overcome this new threat to the city and his legacy? Or is this his final taste of the spotlight?īeowulf is named after the protagonist of the Old English epic poem with the same name, who also kills a troll-like creature called Grendel along with Grendel's mother. Now, as the Canopy Kingdom faces a new threat, Beowulf enters the ring once more, determined to relive the glory, and in doing so stumbles upon the truth about his past. But a mediocre acting career after leaving the ring tarnished his legacy.
Known world-wide for felling the Gigan warrior Grendel and for his illustrious career in the ring, Beowulf had secured himself a spot in the history books as a champion. This is proven when he told the crowd later in his story mode that his match with Grendel was fixed after finding out and promising them he will defeat the Skullgirl Marie. Despite his bumbling tendencies, he is a good person and a capable fighter who legitimately cares for his fans and other people.
However, he is not really known for thinking things through as he was focusing on the career and receiving advice from his shady "manager" Zane instead of seeing the main problem at hand. Even after his downfall following the defeat of Grendel and the slaying of his mother, he is unwilling to give up his career and wants to please his fans.
