Sir Godfrey Gwilym

Sir Godfrey Gwilym was a Paladin of the Order of the Silver Dragon located in the Valley of Barovia. He lived at a time when Gods roamed the world and pledged allegiance to a silver dragon named Argynvost. The Order was destroyed when the human Strahd von Zarovich conquered the valley. When Argynvost's skull was taken as a trophy, the Order became revenants fueled by their hate, but allowed Strahd to live so that his eternal torment would ocntinue. Godfrey broke from their ranks hundreds of years later when Madame Eva prophesized that his aid would help the Plane-Stryders defeat the vampire. Together they restored the skull of Argynvost, and thus the Order, and Godfrey's soul was released.
