Trade Prince Gallywix is the leader of the Bilgewater Cartel.[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 because of an Alliance attack, the ship is sunk near the Lost Isles[2].
He turns out to have survived the Alliance attack and is one the first goblins freed by the player in. 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.

Notes
- Gallywix was first mentioned in Lands of Mystery.
- In an early Cataclysm demo, his place is taken by Trade Prince Maldy. By the start of Cataclysm's closed beta, Gallywix had replaced Maldy.
- 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. 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, not helping on the Lost isles, getting his ship caught between an Alliance battalion and Horde transport, plotting against the player despite them saving his life, 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. He was even attempting to kill Thrall in his machine right before he was re-appointed leader.
- It is especially odd that Thrall is essentially rewarding a traitor to his own race and slaver, both traits Thrall is portrayed as hating
