Godwyn was once the heir to the House of Gitt, who ruled over Coffinwell. Ambitious, he began creating his own world spanning empire, and assassinated his father Godfrey along with any other threats to his power. Fearing that someone could surpass him, his army had captured the Celestrian Corvus and began siphoningt his power in order to summon Barbarus and eliminate all opposition. He was seemingly stopped when Greygnarl and his forces to put a stop to Godwyn's reign.
However, his prisoner Corvus remained in the Oubliette beneath his palace. Consumed with bitter hatred at the Empire's abuse and the betrayal of the citizens of Wormwood Creek while chained down there for the 300 years, he resurrected Godwyn, Barbarus, & the Triumgorate in order to bring ruin to the world. Godwyn's forces quickly captured the Celestrians that descended after the Fyggs feell to the Protectorate, and he sought the fyggs to assure his own world domination (unaware that Corvus was using him).
Aquila, posing as a defector, presented counterfeit fyggs to Godwyn, intending to slay the king and rescue Corvus. However, Godwyn wounded him, leaving the task to the Hero. After the Hero defeats him, he turns into a skeletal monstrosity and attacks again. Despite the new form, he is defeated once again. After Aquila praises his student, Godwyn tries to kill the Hero one last time, but is murdered by Aquila at the cost of his own life.
