Sir Godefroy Gwilym (pictured on p. 139) is an NPC from the 5th Edition module Curse of Strahd. Once a heroic knight in the service of the Order of the Silver Dragon and the lover of Vladimir Horngaard, Sir Godefrey Gwilym is now a revenant.[1]
History
In life, Sir Godfrey Gwylym was a night of the Order of the Silver Dragon. He held a romantic relationship with his uperior, Vladimir Horngaard. In the conflict with Strahd and his forces, Gwyilym was personally slain. This event devastated Horngaard and made him all the more resolved to destroy Strahd. After Horngaard fell at Argynvostholt, he rose again as a revenant, reanimating the rest of the Order as undead including Gwylim. Now they exist as revenants, their souls trapped in Barovia.[2] Horngaard's hatred has driven the love he and Godfrey shared from his memories[3]
Sir Godfrey Gwilym is one of the potential enemies of Strahd chosen by Madame Eva's card reading. In this case, some of Gwilym's previous memories come back to the surface and he offers to go with the player characters to face Strahd.[4]
Game Statistics
Lawful Evil revenant; casts spells as a 16th level paladin with spells listed in the text[1]
