Ser Godfrey
Ser Godfrey Gwilym
In life, Ser Godfrey was a dedicated protector of the Valley. He was one of the champions of Felis, the quasi-god who protected the valley and later in life he joined the Order of Silver. A skilled fighter with a gentle heart, Godfrey abhorred violence but knew it was sometimes necessary to preserve the peace he loved.
After joining the Order, Godfrey fell deeply in love with the commander, Ser Vladimir. The two had a brief courtship and were joined together in a divine union. This love has saved Ser Godfrey from the rage that consumes his fellow knights.
Ser Godfrey was killed before Strahd died and rose again, and in fact his death was one of the terms of the Count's "deal with death." His body was dumped in a place where the Order was sure to find it, and he was buried on the castle grounds. When Argynvost was killed, Ser Godfrey was one of those who clawed out of the grave, pulled out of his afterlife by a sense of duty.
Ser Godfrey is unaware of the events that took place in between his death and being raised as a revenant. He is aware of the political makeup of the land shortly before his death: that Strahd has secured the valley as an independent state under his rule, that Strahd has a castle that is nearly complete near the mouth of the valley, and that for the past half a year, his dear friend Tatyana has been with the Count Strahd under unknown circumstances.
Ser Godfrey is willing to escort the characters for a time, but will eventually return to Argynvosholt.
Fated Ally. If Ser Godfrey is the party's fated ally, he will stay with the party until Strahd is defeated. His love for Ser Vladimir and his conviction that goodness and harmony should always be defended inspire him to break free of the hold that Vladimir's rage holds over the other revenants. He will request that the party relight Argynvostholt's beacon, if they hadn't already.
