History: Born in the east to a Banker, Geoffrey learned a great deal about his father's area of expertise. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the forest to a summer home near a ruined castle. He would wander through that ruined castle and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and he was stranded inside. His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the forest due to the painful memories there. Geoffrey took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up bastard sword and armor he uses now.
