Godfrey (The Green Man)

The Earl Godfrey was the lord of an English castle, and the nearby village, under the reign of King Richard I of England.

He was old friends with the Knight Templar Henri d'Arrée, and was married to Lady Maud. He was not an especially bellicose or selfish man, but was steeped in the entitlement and prejudices of his time and class, being thoughtlessly dismissive of commoners, and especially of Jews.

After his wife fell ill, Godfrey was faced with multiple attack on the village and castle by Krynoids, one of which birthed itself by taking over his herbalist, Osbert. This meant he had to put his trust in D'Arrée's fellow Knight Templar Moses of Tyre, for whom D'Arrée vouched, despite Godfrey's misgivings about Moses's Jewish origins. Thanks to D'Arrée and Moses, the Krynoids were ultimately defeated, though not before eating most of the livestock in the village and tearing down the front wall of Godfrey's castle. It was just as the dust was clearing after the destruction of the last Krynoid that Maud finally awoke from her feverish sleep, having been cured by a potion brewed by Moses. Even after all the chaos and destruction, Godfrey seemed to most dread the prospect of having to explain it all to Lady Maud. However, he was also amazed at the new substance that Moses had invented to defeat the Krynoids, and intended to tell the King about it. (AUDIO: The Green Man)
