Lord Godfrey was a powerful Gilnean nobleman, one of few unaffected by the worgen curse. He is involved in quests for low level worgen.
Biography
Godfrey appears to have a prejudice against those afflicted by the plague, believing that the cure administered to them would wear off and the worgen would turn on them. His prejudices became much more pronounced upon the discovery of top Gilnean leaders, including King Genn Greymane himself, also being affected by the worgen curse.
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".
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.
