'''Lord Vincent Godfrey'''<ref>[[Quest:A Man Named Godfrey]]</ref> 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==
 
Lord Vincent Godfrey spent his life defending the kingdom of Gilneas. When the worgen curse ravaged this land, Godfrey was one of the first Gilneans to take up arms against the beasts.
 
 
Following the evacuation of [[Gilneas City]], the cursed Gilnean hero is confronted by Godfrey in a cage in [[Duskhaven]], who reminds them of what they were before the curse and revealing that they were spared because the Gilneans still hoped that they can be saved, wondering if there is still a shred of humanity within them. Later the hero is found to have been put 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 prejudiced against those that have been afflicted with the worgen curse.
 
 
During the [[Worgen starting experience#Battle for Gilneas City|climax of the worgen starting experience]], Godfrey - joined by other eastern lords ([[Baron Ashbury]] and [[Lord Walden]])- 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," 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 Crowley|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 {{questlong|Alliance|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.''
 
 
*My kingdom? My kingdom is no more.
 
 
*Your father and Greymane saw to that... No, Gilneas died when they allowed murderous beasts to reign free. Unchecked.
