Lord Vincent Godfrey[1] is a renegade nobleman from Gilneas who opposed his king, Genn Greymane, after discovering that he and many of his people had been afflicted with the worgen curse. After committing suicide rather than acknowledge a worgen as his lord, Godfrey's body was recovered and reanimated by the Forsaken, but after turning on them as well, he fled into the abandoned ruins of Shadowfang Keep, where he and his followers remain.

Biography

Following the evacuation of Gilneas City, the cursed Gilnean hero is confronted by Godfrey in a cage in Duskhaven, who reminds him of what he (or she) was before the curse and revealing that he was spared because the Gilneans still hoped that he can be saved, wondering if there is still a shred of humanity within him. Later the hero is found in stocks and Godfrey tells Krennan Aranas that it is "time to put this one down" in accordance with protocol. However, King Greymane intercedes, asking if those who gave their lives so the survivors could escape were following "protocol". This interaction and later actions reveal that Godfrey is prejudice against those that have been afflicted with the worgen cruse.

During the climax of the worgen starting experience, Godfrey - joined by other eastern lords - turns on the Gilnean defenders after he discovers that King Greymane is a worgen. He kidnaps Greymane and holds him for ransom, believing he would be able to save Gilneas if he turned the king over to the Forsaken. Afterwards, once Genn is saved by players, Godfrey commits suicide by jumping off a cliff, preferring to die rather than have a worgen as his king.

After death

Lord Godfrey is later raised as a Forsaken himself by the val'kyr. Once he is returned to "life", now as a level ?? boss, he leads the attack against Pyrewood Village, where Lord Darius Crowley and other survivors of Gilneas have settled. He later kidnaps Crowley's daughter Lorna and holds her for ransom as commanded by Sylvanas, where he would rather kill her and raise her as a member of the forsaken, hoping to force a ceasefire between the Gilneas Liberation Front and the Forsaken. After Darius surrenders to Sylvanas Windrunner at the shattered Greymane Wall Godfrey betrays her, shooting and killing the Banshee Queen (who is shortly afterward resurrected by the val'kyr). Now wanted by both the Alliance and the Horde, Godfrey makes a run for nearby Shadowfang Keep.

Quotes

From the worgen cinematic after A [5] Last Stand:

Look at what you've become. Those cursed beasts...they've left you nothing more than just another wretched mongrel. Do you even remember what you did to your friends? Your kind...haunting the wilds unchecked...until we found you. They've kept you alive, because they still believe you can be saved. To which I must ask: Is there even a shred of humanity left within you? Perhaps...we will find out, soon enough.
