An ambitious advisor of his king Genn Greymane, he played a major part in putting an end to a civil war leaded by his rival, Lord Darius Crowley, and since worgens had appeared on Gilneas, was a member of a secret hunting group with the King, Lord Walden and Baron Ashbury, which went during the night to kill as many worgen as possible. During one of these hunt, Greymane was bitten by a worgen while the other nobles had lost sight of him, and thus, was contaminated by the worgen plague. He soon retired from the hunt, something that Godfrey took as a sign of weakness as said in the comics.
