Lord Vincent Godfrey[1] was a powerful Gilnean nobleman, one of few unaffected by the worgen curse. He is involved in quests for low level worgen.
Biography
Following the evacuation of Gilneas City, the player awakens in the stocks in Duskhaven, where 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 as a Forsaken
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.

Lord Godfrey and his two followers are most likely going to be the new heroic bosses in Shadowfang Keep, much like Vanessa VanCleef becoming the Deadmines heroic boss along with her followers.
