'''Trade Prince Gallywix''' is the much-maligned leader of the [[Bilgewater Cartel]], one of the most powerful [[goblin]] trade guilds on [[Kezan]]. Despite betraying his own people in a petty act of vengeance, he retains his position as Trade Prince of the Bilgewater Cartel in its service to the [[Horde]].
  +
  +
==Biography==
  +
Gallywix makes his first appearance in the Goblin starting zone of [[Kezan]] immediately prior to the Cataclysm, when he is on the verge of losing his position as Trade Prince and views the player as his rival for the office. When [[Deathwing]] causes [[Mount Kajaro]] to erupt, his position is greatly enhanced because he holds the only ship out of Kezan. Anyone who wishes to escape the island - including the player - must use his or her life savings to purchase a ticket, later becoming Gallywix’s slave. The ship is en route to [[Azshara]] when they are fired upon and sunk by an [[Alliance]] vessel in the crossfire of a naval battle with the [[Horde]] just off the coast of the [[Lost Isles]].<ref>http://www.worldofraids.com/topic/17062-cataclysm-hands-on-goblin-starting-experience</ref>
  +
  +
The Trade Prince turns out to have survived the Alliance attack and is one of the [[Quest:Goblin Escape Pods|first goblins saved]] by the player on the island. He appears with the other goblin survivors immediately afterwards. Later, after the player rescues former [[Warchief]] [[Thrall]], Gallywix arrives and swears vengeance upon the player and the other goblins of his own cartel, using [[Foreman Dampwick]]'s rocket sling and escapes.
  +
  +
He later enslaves members of the [[Bilgewater Cartel]] and uses them as slaves in the [[Gallywix Labor Mine]]. At this point he is able to turn the player's friend (and female player's ex-boyfriend) [[Chip Endale]] to his side. After Chip's death, Gallywix begins going out with [[Candy Cane]] (the male player's ex-girlfriend).
  +
  +
The orc survivors of the naval battle eventually team up with the surviving goblins of the Bilgewater Cartel to confront the traitorous Gallywix in the conclusion of the goblin starting zone. The player and Thrall fight and defeat the Trade Prince, but Gallywix surrenders and promises to reform how he runs the cartel. Thrall allows Gallywix to remain as the Trade Prince of the Bilgewater Cartel, informs him that the cartel will have a new home in [[Azshara]], and offers for them to join the Horde. Gallywix then swears his loyalty to the Horde.
  +
  +
Unfortunately Gallywix seems to resume his poor treatment of the player almost immediately, as evidenced by his refusal to talk to the player or grant pay raises during the ride to Orgrimmar.

As Gallywix is highly unpopular both in the game and in reality, and every other racial leader is at least nice to their own people, he may only be Trade Prince temporarily. Supporting this is Thrall's dialogue that Gallywix will lead "for now,” and that, beyond the goblin starting zone, Gallywix does not yet exist in-game, making the goblins the only race not to have an in-game leader.

Gallywix as he appears in World of Warcraft.

Trade Prince Gallywix is the much-maligned leader of the Bilgewater Cartel, one of the most powerful goblin trade guilds on Kezan. Despite betraying his own people in a petty act of vengeance, he retains his position as Trade Prince of the Bilgewater Cartel in its service to the Horde.

Biography

Gallywix makes his first appearance in the Goblin starting zone of Kezan immediately prior to the Cataclysm, when he is on the verge of losing his position as Trade Prince and views the player as his rival for the office. When Deathwing causes Mount Kajaro to erupt, his position is greatly enhanced because he holds the only ship out of Kezan. Anyone who wishes to escape the island - including the player - must use his or her life savings to purchase a ticket, later becoming Gallywix’s slave. The ship is en route to Azshara when they are fired upon and sunk by an Alliance vessel in the crossfire of a naval battle with the Horde just off the coast of the Lost Isles.[1]

The Trade Prince turns out to have survived the Alliance attack and is one of the first goblins saved by the player on the island. He appears with the other goblin survivors immediately afterwards. Later, after the player rescues former Warchief Thrall, Gallywix arrives and swears vengeance upon the player and the other goblins of his own cartel, using Foreman Dampwick's rocket sling and escapes.

He later enslaves members of the Bilgewater Cartel and uses them as slaves in the Gallywix Labor Mine. At this point he is able to turn the player's friend (and female player's ex-boyfriend) Chip Endale to his side. After Chip's death, Gallywix begins going out with Candy Cane (the male player's ex-girlfriend).

The orc survivors of the naval battle eventually team up with the surviving goblins of the Bilgewater Cartel to confront the traitorous Gallywix in the conclusion of the goblin starting zone. The player and Thrall fight and defeat the Trade Prince, but Gallywix surrenders and promises to reform how he runs the cartel. Thrall allows Gallywix to remain as the Trade Prince of the Bilgewater Cartel, informs him that the cartel will have a new home in Azshara, and offers for them to join the Horde. Gallywix then swears his loyalty to the Horde.

Unfortunately Gallywix seems to resume his poor treatment of the player almost immediately, as evidenced by his refusal to talk to the player or grant pay raises during the ride to Orgrimmar.

Notes

  • In an early Cataclysm demo, this character was called Trade Prince Maldy. By the start of Cataclysm's closed beta, Maldy had been renamed to Trade Prince Gallywix.

  • He may be related to Grand Foreman Puzik Gallywix of the Venture Company.
  • Concept artwork for Gallywix shows him as a large and overweight goblin with a tophat. This may mean that his current model is a placeholder, or that his original model was cut due to time or development constraints.
    • The TCG uses artwork based off his ingame model.
  • Occasionally, when you click on him, he will say, "Stay out of my Pool" in a manner reminiscent of Carl Brutananadilewski, a character from the television show Aqua Teen Hunger Force who often says this.

Speculation

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.
"The shocking part about that? Thrall lets him live, and lets him keep his title of Trade Prince for the Bilgewater Cartel, at least for the moment. It's up in the air on whether Gallywix will remain the leader of the Goblins. After all, he is the only leader that is truly and completely hated by all other members of the Horde, including those of his own race."
- Mike Rosenberg on Gallywix[2]

Many players find it odd that Thrall would allow Gallywix to remain the goblin leader. Even the Bilgewater goblins themselves are portrayed as hating Gallywix and thinking of him as a traitor [3]. In a starting quest one goblin even calls him a monster and dreads his survival. [4] Gallywix's crimes, follies, and other evidence of his incompatibility with being Trade Prince are that he:

  1. Was going to lose his status as Trade Prince before the eruption of Mount Kajaro anyway.
  2. Tried to sell his entire race and cartel into slavery after taking their life's savings.
  3. Hates the player, frequently berates and threatens him or her, and swears vengeance against him or her.
  4. Hired Southsea Freebooters to kill the player's party guests.
  5. Trapped, enslaved and brainwashed most of the Bilgewater Cartel in the Gallywix Labor Mine.
  6. Hired the Steamwheedle Sharks after enslaving his own Cartel to kill the player and the resisting members of the Bilgewater Cartel.
  7. Went to war with the surviving Horde and Bilgewater Cartel resistance on the Lost Isles using the Steamwheedle Sharks and Southsea Pirates as mercenaries, as well as brainwashed members of his own cartel for manual labor.
  8. Attempted to murder the player and former Warchief Thrall.
  9. Despite having his own Palace in Azshara, he is not in it, nor is he anywhere in-game beyond the goblin starting zone despite having a voice set indicating he is supposed to be within the Palace.

As Gallywix is highly unpopular both in the game and in reality, and every other racial leader is at least nice to their own people, he may only be Trade Prince temporarily. Supporting this is Thrall's dialogue that Gallywix will lead "for now,” and that, beyond the goblin starting zone, Gallywix does not yet exist in-game, making the goblins the only race not to have an in-game leader.

A possible replacement exists as Boss Mida, a product of the fan-made Trade Princess Movement, who runs the Goblin Slums.
