Gerard Godfrey

Gerard Godfrey was a powerful slaver and loan shark that commanded a great deal of influence in Stilben through his dirty dealings and contacts, and was responsible for the majority of the slave trade in the city. He worked directly with Shoal in acquiring crew members, both legally and illegally, on several occasions. Maurice accumulated a rather substantial debt to him, and in order to pay it, Godfrey took Lupin as a slave. In less than a week, Lupin was sold by Godfrey to Shoal to work aboard the Domino, where he would spend the next decade as a pirate.

13 years after this, Godfrey was killed by Lupin when the Saints snuck aboard his ship, the Barge of Bonds to rescue a girl who had been captured and was to be sold. A fight ensued after this auction was interrupted, which ended rather abruptly as the Saints fled the pursuing Jewel of Emon, after Iselda set all the ships attached to the Barge alight.
