However, this may just be the case of taking someone out of their story and doing a different thing with them. Seeing how Rumple is alive, Beowulf likely not. He may as well be the Dragon, but I do see him taking the role as the Grendel, but for present day this is transposed for Gideon in the role of Beowulf.
