I believe the answer is:

ian

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

'fellow?' is the definition.
(man's name)

'valiant' is the wordplay.
'IAN' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ian that I've seen before include "Scottish man's name" , "- Botham, cricketer" , "... Fleming, author of the Bond books" , "Boy's name (Scottish?)" , "The familiar Mr Paisley" .)
