{{Warcraft III}}
  +
After the [[Third War]], Gazlowe was contracted by [[Thrall]] to be [[Durotar]]’s Chief Engineer. His task was to secure a reliable source of water for the newly constructed city of [[Orgrimmar]]. Gazlowe’s expedition dugs tunnels outside the city in search of underground well, where they accidentally tunnelled into a den of [[kobolds]] who immediately flooded into the caves and drove the goblin miners out. Gazlowe sent the yet-unproven [[Rexxar]] into the [[Orgrimmar Tunnels]] to protect [[goblin Sappers]] that would collapse the breaches into the kobold dens. When Rexxar succeeded Gazlowe rewarded him with magical items.<ref name="wc3">{{ref game |title= Warcraft III|expansion= [[The Frozen Throne]]|campaign= [[The Founding of Durotar]] |zone= [[Orgrimmar Tunnels]], [[Durotar]]|npc=Gazlowe |quest= Quest: Seal the Tunnel}}</ref>

  +
Following the devastation in Orgrimmar caused by rogue fire elementals, Gazlowe was approached by Thrall to rebuild the city; even after lowering the price several times, it was still a tremendous amount, but nonetheless Thrall agreed to pay it to rebuild his shattered capital. Shortly afterwards, the former Warchief departed for Outland.
  +
  +
Following the death of tauren leader [[Cairne Bloodhoof]] in the Orgrimmar arena and the insurrection of the [[Grimtotem tribe]] that followed, Gazlowe was approached by the shaman [[Jevan Grimtotem|Stormsong]], a Grimtotem defector who sided with Cairne's son [[Baine Bloodhoof|Baine]]. Baine's plan called for massive amounts of explosives and other weapons, as well as three zeppelins to transport troops into [[Thunder Bluff]], and Stormsong gave Gazlowe an enormous sum, borrowed from the coffers of [[Theramore Isle|Theramore]]. Atypically for a goblin, Gazlowe reduced the price as a gesture of respect to Cairne and his son, and provided the armaments requested.

  +
After the [[Shattering]], Gazlowe provided a vessel, ''[[Draka's Fury]]'', for Thrall and [[Aggra]]'s voyage to the [[Maelstrom]], complete with provisions.
