Slayer of dragon and wolf with inner energy (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

george

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'slayer of dragon' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'wolf with inner energy' is the wordplay.
'wolf' becomes 'gorge' (I've seen this before).
'with inner' indicates putting letters inside.
'energy' becomes 'e' (physics symbol as in E=mc2).
'gorge' placed around 'e' is 'GEORGE'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for george that I've seen before include "Best Actor Oscar winner 1970, for 'Patton'" , "Man rowing on holiday" , "Boy's name" , "Beatle" , "one in 3 the 12 30 [DROP the DEAD DONKEY]" .)
