Trade Prince Gallywix is the leader of the Bilgewater Cartel who betrays them and then is made leader again by Thrall.[1]
Biography
Gallywix views the players as his rival in the race for the Trade Prince role. He holds the only ship out of Kezan and you become his slave after buying your place in the ship which sails to Azshara, but due to being caught in a naval battle between the Alliance and the Horde, the ship is sunk near the Lost Isles[2].
He turns out to have survived the Alliance attack and is one of the first goblins freed by the player. Afterwards Gallywix will be with the other goblin survivors. After the player rescues Warchief Thrall and before the residents on the Lost Isles use Foreman Dampwick's rocket sling to get to a larger isle, Gallywix arrives and vows to crush the player before using the rocket sling himself.
He later enslaves members of the Bilgewater Cartel and uses them as slaves in Gallywix Reeducation Cavern. At this point he was able to turn the player's friend Chip Endale to his side. After Chip's death, Gallywix begins going out with Candy Cane, the Goblin male player's ex-girlfriend.
Soon afterwards the player, with the aid of Thrall, fight and defeat the Trade Prince. Afterwards, Gallywix gives up the fight and promises to reform how he runs the cartel. Thrall after a moment of thought 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 that they will join the Horde. Gallywix then promises his loyalty to the Horde.
Unfortunately Gallywix seems to resume his poor treatment of the player as evidenced by him saying he's not talking to you and you're not getting a raise.

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 not be the real racial leader but only a temporary one. Supporting this is Thrall's dialogue that Gallywix will lead "for now."

- Many have noticed the illogic in Thrall appointing Gallywix as leader, even the goblins are portrayed as hating Gallywix as a traitor and in a starting quest one even calls him a monster and expressing horror at the possibility of his survival. Gallywix's crimes and follies are in chronological order; selling the player and others into slavery after he made them give up their life savings, getting his ship caught between an Alliance battalion and Horde transport, plotting against the player despite them saving his life, not helping on the Lost isles, Leaving the goblins behind to take over Azshara, teaming up with the Southsea Freebooters and rogue elements of the Steamwheedle Cartel, enslaving the goblins in a mine called the Gallywix Reeducation Cavern while simultaneously attempting to brainwash them and employing abusive Hobgoblin slavemasters.
