This want is brought about by deep feelings held by Gilgamesh for his dead friend Enkidu. From this, Gilgamesh finds himself being scared of dying. This fear pushes Gilgamesh to search for the power of immortal life.

I am assuming you mean who is Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh was a King-God of the ancient city of Uruk in Sumeria. The city of Uruk is now in modern day Iraq. In the story/poem The Epic of Gilgamesh he is described as a demigod or 2/3 god and 1/3 man. He is also believed to be an actual historical king and not just a mythological story, although the historical records from that time are not complete.

In your opinion, is Gilgamesh more or less heroic for slaying Humbaba and angering Enlil?

Gilgamesh's act of slaying Humbaba can be seen as heroic because it demonstrates his bravery and willingness to face challenges. However, angering Enlil, the god who appointed Humbaba as guardian, may be viewed as reckless rather than heroic, as it ultimately brings about negative consequences for Gilgamesh and his companion, Enkidu.
