He is Donna Noble's (Catherine Tate) granddad. He keeps meeting up with the Doctor, as if it is fated. In the end it is revealed Wilfred was the man destined to kill the Tenth Doctor.

The Doctor has already been told that his 'song' will end soon. "He will knock four times, and you will die.", it is destined.

At the end of "The End of Time", the Doctor is feeling relieved, thinking he has changed his destiny. He believed that it was the Master who was to kill him, due to the four-beat drumming sound in his head. Now the Master is gone, he thinks he is safe.

Just then he hears something. Four knocks, on a glass door.

Earlier, Wilfred becames trapped in a booth, which he entered so that a frightened technician could escape the counterpart booth opposite it. However this booth is about to flood with lethal radiation. He knocks again to get the Doctor's attention, and the Doctor realises Wilfred's connection to him. He enters the opposite booth and releases Wilfred, taking the lethal radiation dose himself. After visiting his old companions for the last time, the prophecy completes itself, as he explosively regenerates into his 11th incarnation.

In Doctor Who what does it mean that he will knock four times?

The obvious answer is the return of the Master because the drumming he heard is four knocks, but David Tennant and Julie Gardner said on the Planet of the Dead commentary is not what we think it is, Julie also said when we figure it out it will break our hearts. Just as the doctor believes he's safe at the end of 'The End of Time', he hears four knocks. Wilfred Mott, Donna's grandfather, is stuck in a booth that's about to be flooded with lethal radiation. It is he who knocks four times, and the Doctor, being who he has, entered the booth next to it to allow Wilfred to leave. The Doctor receives the fatal dose of radiation, which, after he visits his old companions, causes him to regenerate.
