* DueToTheDead: He attends Saurfang’s funeral but doesn’t want to stay around too long, partially because he doesn’t want to let the warrior’s work remain unfinished.


Added DiffLines:

* SuperiorSuccessor: Gazlowe is shaping up to be this for Gallywix in the eyes the Horde Goblins and the Horde as a whole. It’s not that Gazlowe is a better engineer than Gallywix or has more business acumen, what makes him superior is the sheer fact that he’s well-liked by the other Horde leaders (namely Thrall and Baine), is actually loyal to the Horde for other reasons than money and is a good boss to his subordinates.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Workaholic}}: Downplayed, Gazlowe does make time for others and doesn’t overdo it, but he’d rather be working than be standing still at a funeral.

Greely resents him for not giving her credit for nor appreciates her help, not to mention that she has to deal with his cloudcuckoolander characteristics on a regular basis.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's probably the most un-Goblin like Goblin you'd meet because of this. His reintroduction in ''Battle for Azeroth'' during Mechagon really makes this clear; he brings a small team to the vault in Tiragarde until he knows it's safe for a whole crew, pays all his workers for a full day of work when he has to dismiss them, when the vault's security vaporizes some of his team, he tells Skaggit to pay out the full life insurance to their families - no haggling, he offers triple pay to workers willing to come with him to Mechagon, and seems genuinely appaled by King Mechagon's behavior and (relatively) genuine in helping Prince Erazmin out. This behavior makes him an easy pick for a faction leader and new Trade Prince when the Horde forms a council and Gallywix disappears following the fourth war, with ''nobody'' voicing any doubts about the pick.

->''"You can get anything done for a price."'

Gazlowe is the official leader of Ratchet in the Horde-aligned territory of the Northern Barrens. He was formerly the Chief Engineer of the Horde engineering works in Durotar, and while keen to remain neutral towards the Alliance, he has no love for them and retains strong relations with the Horde. In ''Cataclysm'' and ''Battle For Azeroth'', he's outright hostile to the Alliance, having the Horde player blow up a naval blockade in the former, and being a possible enemy member of island expedition teams to Alliance players in the latter.

Gazlowe enlisted the aid of Rexxar during Orgrimmar's construction to get rid of some kobolds that were preventing him from finding sources of water underground. After ''Warcraft III'', he became neutral with his Cartel and became the Boss of Ratchet, offering quests to both factions. In ''The Shattering'', Thrall contacts Gazlowe again after Orgrimmar was set ablaze by rogue elementals, and did his best to give his old friend a discount. He repeats this behavior towards Baine when he was trying to secure weaponry for the retaking of Thunder Bluff from Magatha, supplying Baine with weapons for a surprisingly low price. In ''Warlords of Draenor'', he helps the Horde player build their Garrison.

After Gallywix is ousted from the Horde after Saurfang's Rebellion, Gazlowe is unanimously nominated by other Horde Leaders and the Bilgewater Cartel to become the new Trade Prince. Gazlowe hopes to lead the Goblins into a brighter future.

After
Bilgewater Cartel, Jastor Gallywix is ousted the wealthiest, most powerful, ''meanest'' goblin on the isle of Kezan. Having backstabbed his way to the top of goblin society, he resided in a wealthy beachfront palace, where he spent the better part of his days extorting money from his subjects.

When Deathwing's emergence caused Mount Kajaro to erupt and rain fire on Kezan, Gallywix took
the Horde after Saurfang's Rebellion, Gazlowe is unanimously nominated by other Horde Leaders chance to pull the ultimate extortion: he charged an exorbitant fee to allow his followers to escape on his personal barge, but instead of letting them go afterwards, he captured them and planned to sell them into slavery. However, he came into a naval crossfire between the Alliance and the Horde, destroying his ship and causing the goblins to wash up on the shores of the Lost Isles.

Surviving, Gallywix continued to plot against his own people, brainwashing them and forcing them to work under his will. However, when his biggest rival (i.e. the PlayerCharacter) showed up with the aid of the orcs and their former Warchief Thrall, Gallywix’s plans were foiled once and for all. Instead of killing the corrupt Trade Prince, however, Thrall offered to spare Gallywix if he
and the Bilgewater Cartel swore to become serve under the banner of the Horde. Gallywix agreed, pledged his people to aiding the new orc Warchief, Garrosh Hellscream.

After joining the Horde, [[WarForFunAndProfit he seems to keep up with Garrosh's warmongering at first]], however, [[PetTheDog his appearances out of the public eye shows him differently.]] He was actually secretly vying for peace between the factions. He says that his people need security and profit, and under Hellscream, they get a lot of neither.

When you start as a goblin, you're rich, popular, strong, and proactively involved in your growing business empire, as well as being an honest dealer (by goblin standards). You spend half of your introduction throwing an awesome party. As a result, Gallywix doesn't like you much. Part of the reason he wipes you out and busts you right back to battling monsters in the wild is because he's worried about you taking his place as the next
Trade Prince. Gazlowe hopes to lead the Goblins into a brighter future.Prince - even though you're portrayed as being mildly loyal.



* BenevolentBoss: His workers like him very much, and are thus loyal to him. In the lead-up to Mechagon, Gazlowe is shown giving his unneeded crew paid time off, preparing to pay off full life insurance for members of his crew lost in the line of duty, no haggling, and criticizing Tinkmaster Overspark for his own, contrasting treatment of his people.
* TheEngineer: He helped Thrall building Orgrimmar, and helps Horde players build their Garrison in ''Warlords of Draenor'',
* HiddenDepths: Unlike most Goblins, he's willing to give both Thrall and Baine heavy discounts for his services out of friendship and good will. Particularly for Baine, it's because Gazlowe really admired the former's father, Cairne.

* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: The majority of goblins seen in-game are callous with the lives of their subordinates and inveterate penny-pinchers always out for a profit. Gazlowe by comparison is willing to slash prices for his friends and treats his workers like actual people.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: While he was initially a straight villain, his later portrayals do a good job of leaving his moral alignment up in the air.
* AntiHero: NominalHero in the best, straight Villain in the worst.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: His only love interest was of this sort. That said, deposing her father, Trade Prince Maldy, proved too much for her.
* BadBoss: His very first appearance was him forcing his own underlings
to give both up their life savings in order to board his boat and escape the destruction of Kezan. He then proceeded imprison and enslave his own people until Thrall and Baine heavy discounts for the player rescued them. To save his services out of friendship own skin and good will. Particularly for Baine, to keep control of the Cartel, he promised Thrall he would reform but he still continues to abuse his subordinates.
* BadassBoast: Numerous in his short story, describing how he became Trade Prince.
-->'''Gallywix:''' Cautious is boring. The moguls and financiers of Bilgewater had decided they wanted a younger, more aggressive trade prince in Maldy's place. Guess who.
* BadassNormal: He's obese and has no military training what so ever, yet [[spoiler:fought on equal footing with Garrosh when his mech was destroyed, without a weapon.]]
* BatmanGambit: His plan to topple the former Trade Prince and take his place in his backstory.
* BeneathTheMask: He seems to, in private, not be the ruthless, greedy scumbag that he acts like. ''The Blank Scroll'' implies that
it's because Gazlowe really admired just a public front he puts on to keep his position stable, and in places outside of the former's father, Cairne.
public eye, he acts more rational and friendly. Makes sense, considering his short story, a major source of his characterization, was an in-universe book authored by himself, which would be a good way to keep his mask intact.
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: BunnyEarsLawyer: Gallywix is a bloated, greedy jerk who turned the once pristine Azshara into a vice filled monument to his ego, but he also turned it into one of the most essential Horde ports and is one of the most important suppliers of weapons and resources his faction has.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive:
He's essentially treated as a full-fledged member of the Horde, bad, even if by goblin standards.
* ChronicBackStabbingDisorder: The PlayerCharacter [[SaveTheVillain saved him]] a few times in the starting zone, only for Gallywix to continue to plot against him and the other goblins.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: In the BadFuture seen in ''The Blank Scroll'', Gallywix [[spoiler:went down fighting Garrosh 1-on-1, headbutting Garrosh, and laughing the entire time.]]
* EasilyForgiven: By the time he gets defeated by Thrall and the Goblin PC, he has already betrayed and tried to enslave his people twice, each time for no other reason than greed, has shown no remorse each time, and pretty much everyone agrees
he's neutral. an asshole. Yet, as soon as he surrender, not only do Thrall and the PC inexplicably decide to spare his life, but he also is allowed to keep his Trade Prince position. It even gets lampshaded by several goblins [=NPCs=], who point out they would have rather the PC becoming the new Trade Prince instead.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: As shown in his short story, "Trade Secrets of a Trade Prince".
His 'neutrality' is dad raised him, and was a front at best, though, ''very'' loving father, even by non-Goblin standards. It was implied his dad did some shady stuff just to get Jastor cookies from a bakery that exploded a while ago, because the Steamwheedle Cartel prefers it. If it cookies were up to Gazlowe himself, the Cartel would have been Horde a long time ago.
--> '''Gazlowe''', on an Island Expedition: Looks like this place
damn good. Since Jastor became Trade Prince, he says his pop never has a lot to offer! Shade, loot... Aww the Alliance!? Well now it's RUINED!
** This also causes some Alliance's Theramore citizens complained
worry about how Ratchet favoured Horde more buying engineering parts anymore.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** No, not from him, but the others' reaction towards him. Goblin society thrives on and encourages manipulative and amoral business practices, but even by their standards, Gallywix is considered absolute scum.
--->'''Goblin Survivor:''' Please tell me that monster, the Trade Prince, didn't survive?!
** Gallywix knows and admits he's absolute scum as well, but even he has standards - He isn't willing to just waste the people at his disposal for nothing or on stupid things. Though it should be noted that

people over [[EvilIsPetty petty reasons]], making the above comment come off as retcon.

* EvilIsPetty: Perharps the supreme example of
this expedition to go smoothly. No cutting corners, no slush. I know you've worked with trope in Warcraft. Gallywix in accomplishes quite a lot of atrocities toward his own people, but unlike most of the past. We franchise's villains, he isn't motivated by some tragic past, a greater cause or even demon corruption; he is just a greedy dick who wants to make as much profit as possible.
* EvilVersusOblivion: This is the Trade Prince's stance regarding the Burning Legion. While meeting with the Horde leaders, he curses the Legion's senseless destruction for there being no profit in it.
* FatBastard:
** It wasn't until Patch 7.2 that he received an in-game model matching his official artwork. Before that he looked like just a normal goblin.
** The Blank Scroll makes a note to say he's lost weight, which may be en explanation for his previously thinner model.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: To the Horde. Even his own people
don't run our operations like that. We expect him.
* GoldTooth: With his new model, you can see that his right canine is gold. It's particularly visible in a cutscene where [[spoiler:Gallywix shows Sylvanas a piece of Azurite]].
* {{Gonk}}: His in-game model isn't easy on

In ''Cataclysm'' and ''Battle For Azeroth'', he's highly loyal outright hostile to the Alliance, having the Horde player blow up a naval blockade in the former, and being a possible enemy member of island expedition teams to Alliance players in the latter.

Gazlowe enlisted the aid of Rexxar during Orgrimmar's construction to get rid of some kobolds that were preventing him from finding sources of water underground. After ''Warcraft III'', he became neutral with

In ''The Shattering'', Thrall contacts Gazlowe again after Orgrimmar was set ablaze by rogue elementals, and did his best to give his old friend a discount. He repeats this behavior towards Baine when he was trying to secure weaponry for the retaking of Thunder Bluff from Magatha, supplying Baine with weapons for a surprisingly low price.

After Gallywix
is ousted from the Horde after Saurfang's Rebellion, Gazlowe is unanimously nominated by other Horde Leaders and the Bilgewater Cartel to become the new Trade Prince. Gazlowe hopes to lead the Goblins into a pretty amicable individual.brighter future.


Added DiffLines:

* BenevolentBoss: His workers like him very much, and are thus loyal to him. In the lead-up to Mechagon, Gazlowe is shown giving his unneeded crew paid time off, preparing to pay off full life insurance for members of his crew lost in the line of duty, no haggling, and criticizing Tinkmaster Overspark for his own, contrasting treatment of his people.
* TheEngineer: He helped Thrall building Orgrimmar, and helps Horde players build their Garrison in ''Warlords of Draenor'',
* HiddenDepths: Unlike most Goblins, he's willing to give both Thrall and Baine heavy discounts for his services out of friendship and good will. Particularly for Baine, it's because Gazlowe really admired the former's father, Cairne.
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: He's essentially treated as a full-fledged member of the Horde, even if he's neutral. His 'neutrality' is a front at best, though, because the Steamwheedle Cartel prefers it. If it were up to Gazlowe himself, the Cartel would have been Horde a long time ago.
--> '''Gazlowe''', on an Island Expedition: Looks like this place has a lot to offer! Shade, loot... Aww the Alliance!? Well now it's RUINED!
** This also causes some Alliance's Theramore citizens complained about how Ratchet favoured Horde more in the trades despite its supposed neutrality.
* MadBomber: His model in ''Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne'' was that of a Goblin sapper unit.
* MiniMecha: Carries one around on his back.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: The majority of goblins seen in-game are callous with the lives of their subordinates and inveterate penny-pinchers always out for a profit. Gazlowe by comparison is willing to slash prices for his friends and treats his workers like actual people.
-->'''Skaggit''': [Gazlowe] wants this expedition to go smoothly. No cutting corners, no slush. I know you've worked with Gallywix in the past. We don't run our operations like that. We expect the best from our crews, so we pay 'em what they're worth and treat 'em well.*
* NeutralNoLonger: Following Gallywix's abandonment of the Horde, Gazlowe steps up to lead the Bilgewater Cartel and thereby officially joining the Horde.

Trade Prince of the Bilgewater Cartel, Jastor Gallywix is the wealthiest, most powerful, ''meanest'' goblin on the isle of Kezan. Having backstabbed his way to the top of goblin society, he resided in a wealthy beachfront palace, where he spent the better part of his days extorting money from his subjects.

When Deathwing's emergence caused Mount Kajaro to erupt and rain fire on Kezan, Gallywix took the chance to pull the ultimate extortion: he charged an exorbitant fee to allow his followers to escape on his personal barge, but instead of letting them go afterwards, he captured them and planned to sell them into slavery. However, he came into a naval crossfire between the Alliance and the Horde, destroying his ship and causing the goblins to wash up on the shores of the Lost Isles.

Surviving, Gallywix continued to plot against his own people, brainwashing them and forcing them to work under his will. However, when his biggest rival (i.e. the PlayerCharacter) showed up with the aid of the orcs and their former Warchief Thrall, Gallywix’s plans were foiled once and for all.

He says that his people need security and profit, and under Hellscream, they get a lot of neither.

When you start as a goblin, you're rich, popular, strong, and proactively involved in your growing business empire, as well as being an honest dealer (by goblin standards). You spend half of your introduction throwing an awesome party. As a result, Gallywix doesn't like you much. Part of the reason he wipes you out and busts you right back to battling monsters in the wild is because he's worried about you taking his place as the next Trade Prince - even though you're portrayed as being mildly loyal.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating:
** Not even Garrosh likes him, although he sees the value in keeping him around as someone easy to control.
** Both Baine and Saurfang thinks he's no different than a rat.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: While he was initially a straight villain, his later portrayals do a good job of leaving his moral alignment up in the air.
* AntiHero: NominalHero in the best, straight Villain in the worst.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: His only love interest was of this sort. That said, deposing her father, Trade Prince Maldy, proved too much for her.
* BadBoss: His very first appearance was him forcing his own underlings to give up their life savings in order to board his boat and escape the destruction of Kezan. He then proceeded imprison and enslave his own people until Thrall and the player rescued them. To save his own skin and to keep control of the Cartel, he promised Thrall he would reform but he still continues to abuse his subordinates.
* BadassBoast: Numerous in his short story, describing how he became Trade Prince.
-->'''Gallywix:''' Cautious is boring. The moguls and financiers of Bilgewater had decided they wanted a younger, more aggressive trade prince in Maldy's place. Guess who.
* BadassNormal: He's obese and has no military training what so ever, yet [[spoiler:fought on equal footing with Garrosh when his mech was destroyed, without a weapon.]]
* BatmanGambit: His plan to topple the former Trade Prince and take his place in his backstory.
* BeneathTheMask: He seems to, in private, not be the ruthless, greedy scumbag that he acts like. ''The Blank Scroll'' implies that it's just a public front he puts on to keep his position stable, and in places outside of the public eye, he acts more rational and friendly. Makes sense, considering his short story, a major source of his characterization, was an in-universe book authored by himself, which would be a good way to keep his mask intact.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Gallywix is a bloated, greedy jerk who turned the once pristine Azshara into a vice filled monument to his ego, but he also turned it into one of the most essential Horde ports and is one of the most important suppliers of weapons and resources his faction has.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's bad, even by goblin standards.
* ChronicBackStabbingDisorder: The PlayerCharacter [[SaveTheVillain saved him]] a few times in the starting zone, only for Gallywix to continue to plot against him and the other goblins.
* DyingMomentOfAwesome: In the BadFuture seen in ''The Blank Scroll'', Gallywix [[spoiler:went down fighting Garrosh 1-on-1, headbutting Garrosh, and laughing the entire time.]]
* EasilyForgiven: By the time he gets defeated by Thrall and the Goblin PC, he has already betrayed and tried to enslave his people twice, each time for no other reason than greed, has shown no remorse each time, and pretty much everyone agrees he's an asshole. Yet, as soon as he surrender, not only do Thrall and the PC inexplicably decide to spare his life, but he also is allowed to keep his Trade Prince position. It even gets lampshaded by several goblins [=NPCs=], who point out they would have rather the PC becoming the new Trade Prince instead.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: As shown in his short story, "Trade Secrets of a Trade Prince". His dad raised him, and was a ''very'' loving father, even by non-Goblin standards. It was implied his dad did some shady stuff just to get Jastor cookies from a bakery that exploded a while ago, because the cookies were damn good. Since Jastor became Trade Prince, he says his pop never has to worry about buying engineering parts anymore.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** No, not from him, but the others' reaction towards him. Goblin society thrives on and encourages manipulative and amoral business practices, but even by their standards, Gallywix is considered absolute scum.
--->'''Goblin Survivor:''' Please tell me that monster, the Trade Prince, didn't survive?!
** Gallywix knows and admits he's absolute scum as well, but even he has standards - He isn't willing to just waste the people at his disposal for nothing or on stupid things. Though it should be noted that in the Goblin Starting Zone, Gallywix had no problem wasting the lives of his people over [[EvilIsPetty petty reasons]], making the above comment come off as retcon.
--->'''Gallywix:''' I take care of things that are '''mine'''.
* EvilIsPetty: Perharps the supreme example of this trope in Warcraft. Gallywix accomplishes quite a lot of atrocities toward his own people, but unlike most of the franchise's villains, he isn't motivated by some tragic past, a greater cause or even demon corruption; he is just a greedy dick who wants to make as much profit as possible.
* EvilVersusOblivion: This is the Trade Prince's stance regarding the Burning Legion. While meeting with the Horde leaders, he curses the Legion's senseless destruction for there being no profit in it.
* FatBastard:
** It wasn't until Patch 7.2 that he received an in-game model matching his official artwork. Before that he looked like just a normal goblin.
** The Blank Scroll makes a note to say he's lost weight, which may be en explanation for his previously thinner model.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: To the Horde. Even his own people don't like him.
* GoldTooth: With his new model, you can see that his right canine is gold. It's particularly visible in a cutscene where [[spoiler:Gallywix shows Sylvanas a piece of Azurite]].
* {{Gonk}}: His in-game model isn't easy on the eyes. His head and double chins are almost as large as his bloated torso and his arms are three times longer than his legs.
* HiddenDepths: In-universe, most of the Horde leaders view him with (granted, justifiable) contempt and believe he's little more than Garrosh's money-grubbing lackey. In truth, Gallywix has a fairly low opinion on the Horde's dictator, was trying to sue for peace between the factions before Theramore, and aimed to withhold powerful artifacts from Garrosh in order to [[EvenEvilHasStandards protect the world at large from what Garrosh might do with them]].
%%* JerkAss: And HOW!
* HateSink: A more blatant example then any other racial leader, particularly in the starting zone. Though later writers have made attempts to make Gallywix likable.

* MadBomber: His model in ''Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne'' was that of a

* MiniMecha: Carries one around
on and encourages manipulative and amoral business practices, but even by their standards, Gallywix is considered absolute scum.
--->'''Goblin Survivor:''' Please tell me that monster, the Trade Prince, didn't survive?!
** Gallywix knows and admits he's absolute scum as well, but even he has standards - He isn't willing to just waste the people at
his disposal for nothing or on stupid things. Though it should be noted that in the Goblin Starting Zone, Gallywix had no problem wasting back.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: The majority of goblins seen in-game are callous with
the lives of their subordinates and inveterate penny-pinchers always out for a profit. Gazlowe by comparison is willing to slash prices for his people over [[EvilIsPetty petty reasons]], making the above comment come off as retcon.

I know you've worked with Gallywix accomplishes quite a lot of atrocities toward his own people, but unlike most of in the franchise's villains, he isn't motivated by some tragic past, a greater cause or even demon corruption; he is just a greedy dick who wants to make as much profit as possible.
* EvilVersusOblivion: This is the Trade Prince's stance regarding the Burning Legion. While meeting with the Horde leaders, he curses the Legion's senseless destruction for there being no profit in it.
* FatBastard:
** It wasn't until Patch 7.2 that he received an in-game model matching his official artwork. Before that he looked like just a normal goblin.

* GoldTooth: With his new model, you can see that his right canine is gold. It's particularly visible in a cutscene where [[spoiler:Gallywix shows Sylvanas a piece of Azurite]].
* {{Gonk}}: His in-game model isn't easy on
that. We expect the eyes. His head best from our crews, so we pay 'em what they're worth and double chins are almost as large as his bloated torso treat 'em well.*
* NeutralNoLonger: Following Gallywix's abandonment of the Horde, Gazlowe steps up to lead the Bilgewater Cartel
and his arms are three times longer than his legs.thereby officially joining the Horde.
* HiddenDepths: In-universe, most of the Horde leaders view him TrueCompanions: He's this with (granted, justifiable) contempt and believe he's little more than Garrosh's money-grubbing lackey. In truth, Gallywix has a fairly low opinion on the Horde's dictator, was trying to sue for peace between the factions before Theramore, and aimed to withhold powerful artifacts from Garrosh in order to [[EvenEvilHasStandards protect the world at large from what Garrosh might do with them]].
%%* JerkAss: And HOW!
* HateSink: A more blatant example then any other racial leader, particularly in the starting zone. Though later writers have made attempts to make Gallywix likable.
* IgnoredEpiphany: In 8.1, he muses how the Blood War may never have happened if he didn't tell Sylvanas about Azerite, and wonders if all the death and fighting going on now is his fault...only to immediately declare he doesn't actually care because now he has a giant robot with EyeBeams fueled by Azeroth's own blood.
* KarmaHoudini: Remains in charge of the goblins even after
Thrall and the player defeat him.
* LonelyAtTheTop: Invokes this, then subverts it by declaring that he has never been happier.
* MasochismTango: For the lack of a better example. Gallywix was in love with Trade Prince Maldy's daughter and she did like him up to the point Gallywix deposed Maldy. Every year since, Gallywix sent her a painting of himself enjoying his riches. In return, she sends him a bomb.
* NiceHat: Excellent in the Siege of Orgrimmar cinematic, which shows him taking off the NiceHat and bowing to his new Warchief.
* OnlySaneMan: Yes, against all odds '''he'''
was this during Garrosh's stint as Warchief, actively trying to stop the Hoard's infighting to insure protection for his people.
* PetTheDog: ''The Blank Scroll'' hints that his over-the-top CardCarryingVillain persona may just be a public front he puts on. When alone
with Druz and Ziya, he's much calmer and far more rational and sympathetic, and lacking the 'megawatt horror of a grin' Ziya remembers always being on his face. He also orders the eponymous scroll, capable of making thought into reality, hidden in the vaults under Bilgewater Harbor because, late Cairne as he put it, "the last thing we need floating around is another big gun."
* PragmaticVillainy:
** In the short story ''The Blank Scroll'', Gallywix refused to deliver the scroll, which can make any story become reality, to Garrosh because he acknowledges that'd be a horrible decision for him. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, he got a hold of it anyway.]]
** In the ending to Mists of Pandaria, he sums up his opposition to Garrosh as follows.
--->'''Gallywix''': My people need security and profit. Under Hellscream, we got a whole lot of neither.
* RagsToRiches: He grew up in the slums of Kezan in his father's engineering shop. Said shop was often pestered by the local gangs and mafias. With his street smarts and engineering expertise, he devised a BatmanGambit that led to him taking over ''all'' of the local gangs, and after that, the entire Cartel.
* RetiredBadass: It's mentioned he was a Street Brawler before.
* TheSmartGuy: He grew up in his father's engineering shop, and became a master engineer because of it.
%%* SmugSnake
* SpiderTank: Pilots one against the player, and in the BadFuture against Garrosh.
* TookALevelInKindness: Possible. Between his portrayal in The Blank Scroll and his respectful demeanor in the Siege of Orgrimmar cinematic, he may be turning a new leaf. He's back to his old schemes in ''Battle For Azeroth'', being the first to get their hands on the powerful and mysterious Azerite.
* TokenEvilTeammate: A [[EvilIsPetty different kind]] than Sylvanas, but regardless, he is by far one of the less moral Horde leaders.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere!: Does this to the Horde after the BfA civil war concludes upon realizing that Sylvanas had no intention of paying him back and that Thrall and co. won't be paying her debt.
* UngratefulBastard: Is not very gracious about the mercy the player and Thrall show him. Nor is he grateful that the player ''saved his life''.
* TheUnsmile: Described as a "megawatt horror of a grin" but we never see it.
* WarForFunAndProfit: Why he supports Garrosh, according to ''Tides of War''.
** However, by the time of ''The Blank Scroll'' Gallywix has begun advocating peace... just not in public.
* VetinariJobSecurity: Chronicle explains why Gallywix was allowed to remain charge of the Bilgewater Cartel: his skill, charisma and influence made him best suited to lead the goblins.
* VillainsWantMercy: Begs for mercy both when rescued from the shipwreck by the player and when defeated by Thrall.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Before Patch 7.2, his in-game model was a normal sized goblin with red hair and a beard.

->''"You can get anything done for a price."'

Gazlowe is the official leader of Ratchet in the Horde-aligned territory of the Northern Barrens. He was formerly the Chief Engineer of the Horde engineering works in Durotar, and while keen to remain neutral towards the Alliance, he has no love for them and retains strong relations with the Horde. In ''Cataclysm'' and ''Battle For Azeroth'', he's outright hostile to the Alliance, having the Horde player blow up a naval blockade in the former, and being a possible enemy member of island expedition teams to Alliance players in the latter.

Gazlowe enlisted the aid of Rexxar during Orgrimmar's construction to get rid of some kobolds that were preventing him from finding sources of water underground. After ''Warcraft III'', he became neutral with his Cartel and became the Boss of Ratchet, offering quests to both factions. In ''The Shattering'', Thrall contacts Gazlowe again after Orgrimmar was set ablaze by rogue elementals, and did his best to give his old friend a discount. He repeats this behavior towards Baine when he was trying to secure weaponry for the retaking of Thunder Bluff from Magatha, supplying Baine with weapons for a surprisingly low price. In ''Warlords of Draenor'', he helps the Horde player build their Garrison.

* BenevolentBoss: His workers like him very much, and are thus loyal to him. In the lead-up to Mechagon, Gazlowe is shown giving his unneeded crew paid time off, preparing to pay off full life insurance for members of his crew lost in the line of duty, no haggling, and criticizing Tinkmaster Overspark for his own, contrasting treatment of his people.
* TheEngineer: He helped Thrall building Orgrimmar, and helps Horde players build their Garrison in ''Warlords of Draenor'',
* HiddenDepths: Unlike most Goblins, he's willing to give both Thrall and Baine heavy discounts for his services out of friendship and good will. Particularly for Baine, it's because Gazlowe really admired the former's father, Cairne.
* HonoraryTrueCompanion: He's essentially treated as a full-fledged member of the Horde, even if he's neutral. His 'neutrality' is a front at best, though, because the Steamwheedle Cartel prefers it. If it were up to Gazlowe himself, the Cartel would have been Horde a long time ago.

* HigherUnderstandingThroughDrugs: Unlike gnomes, goblins' genius intellect isn't natural but a side effect of kaja'mite, a magical ore that the goblins put in all their food and drinks. Consuming kaja'mite caused their ancestors to evolve into goblins, but they quickly lost their intellect in just a few generations after the Sundering separated them from Ulduar's supply of it. Years later, Zandalari trolls discovered a large quantity of kaja'mite under Kezan and enslaved the goblins to mine it for them. After a thousand years of exposure to the ore in the mines, the goblins regained their genius and chaotic nature and overthrew their troll overseers. Currently, the goblins supply of kaja'mite has run low, causing the goblin's intelligence to decrease significantly and is the reason for the destructive and shoddily made inventions we see in-game

They also enslaved a large number of trolls to mine kaja'mite for them.
