'''Ichman's Beacon''' is located in [[Alterac Valley]]. {{coords|44.5|45.4|Alterac Valley}}
'''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 Genn 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.
 
 
During the evacuation of Gilneas City Godfrey argued with Genn about rescuing [[Darius Crowley|Lord Crowley]] and prefer leaving the traitor to be killed by the worgen rather than saving him.
 
 
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 left 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, too. 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 returned to "life," he led the attack against [[Pyrewood Village]], where Lord Crowley and other survivors of Gilneas had settled. During this time he also used necromancy to resurrect [[Sean Dempsey]], who had been eaten by crocolisks, only to murder him again. He later kidnaps Crowley's daughter [[Lorna Crowley|Lorna]] and holds her for ransom as commanded by [[Sylvanas Windrunner]], 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 Crowley surrenders to Sylvanas 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 made a run for nearby [[Shadowfang Keep]].
 
 
===Shadowfang Keep===
 
{{Main|Lord Godfrey (tactics)}}
 
Surrounded by remnants of the [[Scourge]] and the whispering ghosts of those who've met their end in the keep over the years, Godfrey now plots the downfall of both the Alliance and Horde within Shadowfang Keep.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/zone/shadowfang-keep/ Shadowfang Keep]</ref>
 
 
Lord Godfrey replaces [[Archmage Arugal]] as the final boss of Shadowfang Keep in both normal and heroic modes. Both [[Deathstalker Commander Belmont]] and [[Ivar Bloodfang]] want him dead.

==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.''
 
 
*No... I'd sooner die than have one of your kind for a king!
 
 
*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.
 
 
===While in Silverpine===
 
Random:
 
*{{text|say|"It's over Godfrey..." That's what he told me right before I jumped off of the cliff. NOTHING IS OVER, GREYMANE! I LIVE AGAIN!}}
 
*{{text|say|Gilneas was an impossible dream. Only a man of true vision could have seen it through... but Greymane? Never...}}
 
*{{text|say|Never did I dream that our "king" would betray us as he did. To think that he had been a worgen in secret while he ruled over us. Sickening...}}
 
*{{text|say|We used to burn the worgen when we killed them - to make sure that they were dead.}}
 
*{{text|say|Just do as I say and this war will end without incident. Unless you count the death of every worgen in Lordaeron as an incident.}}
 
*{{text|say|Some people want to watch the world burn. Others want to be the ones responsible for burning it.}}
 
*{{text|say|Through fire we purge this land of its impurities.}}
 
*{{text|say|Crowley? I knew him. He was nothing more than a criminal before the curse took hold of our land. Now he's a great worgen hero? Sickening...}}
 
*{{text|say|Reduced to ashes... Soon nothing will be left of Gilneas or the worgen taint.}}
 
*{{text|say|Bloodfang? When the attacks upon Gilneas first occurred, it was Bloodfang's worgen that led the charge. This monster and his pack have been terrorizing the lands for years.}}
 
 
After saving Sean Dempsey:
 
*{{text|say|Sean Dempsey says: Wha? What happened to me? WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?}}
 
*{{text|say|Sean Dempsey says: HELP! HELP! I've been captured by monsters!}}
 
*{{text|say|Lord Godfrey: HAH! Don't you recognize us, Dempsey? It's Godfrey. I have Lord Walden and Baron Ashbury. We've "saved" you and this is the thanks we get?}}
 
*{{text|say|Sean Dempsey says: You... You saved me? I'm a damned monster! YOU'RE A DAMNED MONSTER! LOOK AT YOURSELF!}}
 
''Godfrey shoots Dempsey''
 
*{{text|say|Lord Godfrey says: You were always a spineless coward, Dempsey.}}
 
 
When encountering a cowering forsaken:
 
*{{text|say|Worthless maggot.}}
 
*{{text|say|I would have burned this place down with them in it...}}
 
*{{text|say|Get out of my sight before I execute you!}}
 
*{{text|say|The Dark Lady lets these mongrels live? Useless...}}
 
 
When killing a cowering forsaken:
 
*{{text|say|Cowards don't get to go home.}}
 
*{{text|say|<He/She> died in battle. Bow your heads...}}
 
*{{text|say|This is a mercy killing.}}
 
 
Random dialogue with Ashbury:
 
*{{text|say|Lord Godfrey says: For pity's sake, Ashbury, cover yourself. Your leg bones are popping out.}}
 
*{{text|say|Baron Ashbury says: I did not bring this wretched affliction upon myself, Godfrey. It was a "gift," remember? Now kindly enjoy the gift and shut up.}}
