The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Instructor Galford encounter in Stratholme - Main Gate.

Galford once took great pride in caring for the Crusade's most valued documents. However, as he lay dying, he watched in horror as his precious tomes were burnt around him. Balnazzar used this painful memory to imbue his servant with the fiery power that ravaged Galford in life.
