He was Aeneas' dutiful pilot.   Neptune sent Sommus (the god of sleep) to get him to doze.    He clung to the helm even in his sleep.   When he was pushed overboard, the helm came away with him.   After he was thus sacrificed, Neptune kept the un-helmed ship on her course until Aeneas himself could take charge.
