Jastor Gallywix's father, [[Luzik Gallywix|Luzik]], was a tinker who lived and worked on Copper Street in [[Drudgetown]] on Kezan, and his mother left for a life of piracy. His father regularly tested his inventions - all of which had something to do with explosives (appropriately for goblins) - in the house, which had the potential for causing fatal injuries to both himself and his son. On his tenth birthday, Gallywix had had enough of his father's antics and thought about running away to become a pirate himself. That was before he witnessed a local street gang rough up his father for money, and steal a cookie his father had given him (from a bakery that had been destroyed in the various Trade Wars; as a result, the confection was highly rare). That inspired him to take control of his neighborhood and begin his rise to power on Kezan. First, he booby-trapped the payment to the gang with dynamite, blowing the entire gang sky-high. Then he took over, buying out the street's businesses, among them his father's tinkering business.<ref name="gallywixshortstory"/>

Many years later, Gallywix had become president of what became known as the Copper Street Conglomerate, an advisor to the [[Tinkers' Union]], a major figure in the [[Trade Coalition]], and the second wealthiest goblin in the Bilgewater Cartel - second only to [[Trade Prince Maldy]] himself. With the aid of the moguls of the Bilgewater and from [[Tek'zik Riddlevox]], Director of the Tinkers' Union, all of whom believed that Maldy had gone soft (he was known to dote over his daughter, [[Nessa Maldy|Nessa]], with whom Gallywix had fallen in love with on first sight), Gallywix initiated a hostile takeover of the Bilgewater Cartel. He bought the loyalty of Maldy's staff, and replaced his security with his own mercenaries; he even owned the land on which Maldy's manor (the site of [[Gallywix's Villa|his own villa]] many years later) was situated. Though Maldy hoped to re-buy his possessions with the money he gained from trading weapons to the Alliance, Gallywix eliminated that possibility by destroying Maldy's trade fleet. Now in total control, Gallywix exiled Maldy and his daughter from Kezan, and later arranged his (supposedly accidental) death.<ref name="gallywixshortstory"/>

Twenty years later, on the eve of the [[Shattering]], Gallywix is on the verge of losing his position as Trade Prince and views the player - apparently a former protege of Gallywix's<ref>[[Quest:The Uninvited Guest]]</ref> - 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 Gallywixā€™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.

With the Bilgewater goblins now in the trenches with the bigger brutes of the Horde, a significant number of trampling deaths have been reported. Normally unconcerned with such matters, Trade Prince Gallywix was alarmed to learn that Garroshā€™s [[Forsaken]] accountants refused to pay soldier death benefits if the soldiers never got to the actual battle, and accidental stomps caused by [[tauren]] maneuvers made it extremely difficult to calculate how many goblins had made it to the battlefield before they were rendered flat. Gallywix offered a substantial cash reward for an invention that could both lift goblins out of hoof traffic and speed them along at comparable velocities so that goblin soldiers could die in ā€œa calculate-able and reimbursable fashion.ā€ Hundreds of submissions were made. Most exploded upon delivery. In the end, the clear (and relatively undamaged) winner was the sturdy transport [[trike]] created by the remarkably aged [[Jibidiah Gragglefutz]].<ref>[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/game/race/goblin Goblin Race Page on Battle.net]</ref>

Gallywix takes up residence in [[Azshara]], quickly having the "[[Gallywix Pleasure Palace]]" constructed, complete with a gigantic stone monument depicting his head and a top hat. However, Gallywix himself is currently no-where to be found, and [[Boss Mida]] seems to be holding things together in his apparent absence.

== 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. There still is a reference to Gallywix's old name, with the item [[Maldy's Falcon]] saying that Maldy was the predecessor to Gallywix as Trade Prince of the Bilgewater Cartel.
  +
*He may be related to Grand Foreman [[Puzik Gallywix]] of the [[Venture Company]].
  +
* Concept artwork for Gallywix, as well as the Mount Rushmore-style monument of himself carved into the mountain near [[Gallywix Pleasure Palace|his palace]] in [[Azshara]], 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.
  +
**Trade Secrets of a Trade Prince has artwork similar to the original concept.
  +
* Occasionally, when you click on him, he will say, "Stay out of my Pool" in a manner reminiscent of {{wplink|Carl Brutananadilewski}}, a character from the television show {{wplink|Aqua Teen Hunger Force}} who often says this.
  +
* Many of Gallywix's click sayings talk about his Azshara home, even on Kezan, before his palace is even built. In the game files, Gallywix also has voice files for being aggroed, killing players, and his death, but these haven't been implemented into the game as of yet.
  +
*Gallywix refers to himself in the third person as the "Big G." [[Boss Mida]] also uses this title, though in reference to another "Big G" - [[Garrosh Hellscream]].
  +
* Curiously, Gallywix's status and location following the Goblin starter experience are completely unknown. [[Boss Mida]] mentions that he seems to be busy "picking out wallpaper" for his new palace in Azshara, though he himself is not found within it.
  +
*Despite his status as something of a pariah, Gallywix retains the belief that he is the archetypal goblin, and the ruthless embodiment of what it takes to be a successful trade prince.<ref>[[Trade Secrets of a Trade Prince]]</ref>
  +
*Gallywix's relationship with the player draws parallels to that of ''Tony Montana'' and ''Frank Lopez'', in the acclaimed 1983 movie ''Scarface''. While Tony started out as a protege under Lopez, he would quickly develop his own ambitions to take over the aging Lopez's role and (criminal) empire, including his luxury estate, with his own friends and followers. Though, unlike Lopez, Gallywix is not dethroned so easily and even talks his way into retaining his status following his defeat - while Lopez's attempts to coerce Tony into showing mercy ended with his demise.

Trade Prince Jastor Gallywix[1] 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

Early years

WoW-novel-logo-16x62 This section concerns content related to the Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.
Trade Prince Gallywix

Gallywix as he appears in World of Warcraft.

Jastor Gallywix's father, Luzik, was a tinker who lived and worked on Copper Street in Drudgetown on Kezan, and his mother left for a life of piracy. His father regularly tested his inventions - all of which had something to do with explosives (appropriately for goblins) - in the house, which had the potential for causing fatal injuries to both himself and his son. On his tenth birthday, Gallywix had had enough of his father's antics and thought about running away to become a pirate himself. That was before he witnessed a local street gang rough up his father for money, and steal a cookie his father had given him (from a bakery that had been destroyed in the various Trade Wars; as a result, the confection was highly rare). That inspired him to take control of his neighborhood and begin his rise to power on Kezan. First, he booby-trapped the payment to the gang with dynamite, blowing the entire gang sky-high. Then he took over, buying out the street's businesses, among them his father's tinkering business.[1]

Many years later, Gallywix had become president of what became known as the Copper Street Conglomerate, an advisor to the Tinkers' Union, a major figure in the Trade Coalition, and the second wealthiest goblin in the Bilgewater Cartel - second only to Trade Prince Maldy himself. With the aid of the moguls of the Bilgewater and from Tek'zik Riddlevox, Director of the Tinkers' Union, all of whom believed that Maldy had gone soft (he was known to dote over his daughter, Nessa, with whom Gallywix had fallen in love with on first sight), Gallywix initiated a hostile takeover of the Bilgewater Cartel. He bought the loyalty of Maldy's staff, and replaced his security with his own mercenaries; he even owned the land on which Maldy's manor (the site of his own villa many years later) was situated. Though Maldy hoped to re-buy his possessions with the money he gained from trading weapons to the Alliance, Gallywix eliminated that possibility by destroying Maldy's trade fleet. Now in total control, Gallywix exiled Maldy and his daughter from Kezan, and later arranged his (supposedly accidental) death.[1]

Recent years

Twenty years later, on the eve of the Shattering, Gallywix is on the verge of losing his position as Trade Prince and views the player - apparently a former protege of Gallywix's[2] - 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 Gallywixā€™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.[3]

The Dark L- Trade Prince watches over you.

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.

With the Bilgewater goblins now in the trenches with the bigger brutes of the Horde, a significant number of trampling deaths have been reported. Normally unconcerned with such matters, Trade Prince Gallywix was alarmed to learn that Garroshā€™s Forsaken accountants refused to pay soldier death benefits if the soldiers never got to the actual battle, and accidental stomps caused by tauren maneuvers made it extremely difficult to calculate how many goblins had made it to the battlefield before they were rendered flat. Gallywix offered a substantial cash reward for an invention that could both lift goblins out of hoof traffic and speed them along at comparable velocities so that goblin soldiers could die in ā€œa calculate-able and reimbursable fashion.ā€ Hundreds of submissions were made. Most exploded upon delivery. In the end, the clear (and relatively undamaged) winner was the sturdy transport trike created by the remarkably aged Jibidiah Gragglefutz.[4]

Gallywix takes up residence in Azshara, quickly having the "Gallywix Pleasure Palace" constructed, complete with a gigantic stone monument depicting his head and a top hat. However, Gallywix himself is currently no-where to be found, and Boss Mida seems to be holding things together in his apparent absence.

Other

  • "Hey, pal. Trade Prince Gallywix here. Youā€™re holding this book in your hands because you wanna be like me. Who wouldnā€™t? There ainā€™t a goblin alive more powerful and dangerous than me. I can give you everything you need to succeed."
  • "I never cover up the things Iā€™m proud of. If the world was gonna split in half tomorrow, Iā€™d buy the Dark Portal, slap a toll booth on it, and charge refugees the last of their pocket change, the rings off their fingers, a bite of their sandwiches, and a contractual obligation to build me a rocket palace in the skies of Nagrand. Itā€™s the goblin way! Supply and demand! Deal with it!"
  • "Years passed. Iā€™m not gonna give you a detailed receipt of all the businesses I took over, started, sold, or destroyed. I won: thatā€™s all. I won everything I wanted."
  • "Cautious is boring. The moguls and financiers of Bilgewater had decided they wanted a younger, more aggressive trade prince in Maldyā€™s place. Guess who."
  • "So. You got an hour to get off Kezan before I ventilate your daughter and drop you headfirst into Mount Kajaro. Howā€™s that for ruthless?"
  • "You might be wondering if I have any regrets. Sure, I exiled the love of my life within ten minutes of meeting her and arranged the later, thoroughly accidental death of my never-to-be father-in-law. Everyone Iā€™ve ever known has tried to betray me. I am alone. HA! Right. Oh, no, my limitless wealth and power are all I have! How tragic! Send me sympathy money."
  • "Youā€™re never gonna beat me. Thereā€™s never been a trap I couldnā€™t turn to my advantage. Even when that goblin Iā€™m not gonna name tried to get that brute of an orc Thrall to kill me, I still ended up on top."
  • "You bought my book, which makes us pals, right? Right. So, in the unlikely event that you live longer than me, thereā€™s only one thing you need to do to take over the goblin race. Win."

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. There still is a reference to Gallywix's old name, with the item Ability hunter pet dragonhawk [Maldy's Falcon] saying that Maldy was the predecessor to Gallywix as Trade Prince of the Bilgewater Cartel.
  • He may be related to Grand Foreman Puzik Gallywix of the Venture Company.
  • Concept artwork for Gallywix, as well as the Mount Rushmore-style monument of himself carved into the mountain near his palace in Azshara, 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.
    • Trade Secrets of a Trade Prince has artwork similar to the original concept.
  • 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.
  • Many of Gallywix's click sayings talk about his Azshara home, even on Kezan, before his palace is even built. In the game files, Gallywix also has voice files for being aggroed, killing players, and his death, but these haven't been implemented into the game as of yet.
  • Gallywix refers to himself in the third person as the "Big G." Boss Mida also uses this title, though in reference to another "Big G" - Garrosh Hellscream.
  • Curiously, Gallywix's status and location following the Goblin starter experience are completely unknown. Boss Mida mentions that he seems to be busy "picking out wallpaper" for his new palace in Azshara, though he himself is not found within it.
  • Despite his status as something of a pariah, Gallywix retains the belief that he is the archetypal goblin, and the ruthless embodiment of what it takes to be a successful trade prince.[5]
  • Gallywix's relationship with the player draws parallels to that of Tony Montana and Frank Lopez, in the acclaimed 1983 movie Scarface. While Tony started out as a protege under Lopez, he would quickly develop his own ambitions to take over the aging Lopez's role and (criminal) empire, including his luxury estate, with his own friends and followers. Though, unlike Lopez, Gallywix is not dethroned so easily and even talks his way into retaining his status following his defeat - while Lopez's attempts to coerce Tony into showing mercy ended with his demise.
  • Gallywix's pirate mother appears to be deceased. He had a painting drawn to illustrate her, named Achievement character orc female [The Goblin Lisa].[6]
