Gazlowe

Gazlowe is the official leader of Ratchet in the Horde-aligned territory of the Northern Barrens. He was formerly the Chief Engineer of the Horde engineering works in Durotar, and while keen to remain neutral towards the Alliance, he has no love for them and retains strong relations with the Horde.

Biography
In his younger days, Gazlowe was a thief, like many goblins. Through adventuring, he gradually managed to make enough money to begin legitimate business, and proved to excel at it.

The Founding of Durotar
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.

Gazlowe and his engineers also dug out other tunnels under Durotar, finding a previously unexplored city at Gazlowe's Excavation Site.

Funding Reconstruction and Revolution
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 Stormsong, a Grimtotem defector who sided with Cairne's son 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. 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.

In World of Warcraft


Now, at the age of 40, Gazlowe resides in Ratchet as the manager of the port's trading operations. He runs one of the largest and most successful port towns in Kalimdor — if not the entire globe. While Gazlowe’s city operates under the watchful eyes of the trade princes, he has considerable free reign, and proves effective because of it. A well-respected member of the goblin community, he also has a good heart, and is willing to help someone for little in return on occasion — but he wouldn’t mind payback later, of course. He ships and receives to and from Booty Bay and Undermine. This goblin's smile looks almost friendly, but for his sharp teeth.

He sent Rezlak, one of his employees, to Durotar to continue helping the orcs. Baron Revilgaz sent a 99-Year-Old Port to Gazlowe as a gift, which was stolen by Mad Magglish.

Warcraft Adventures
In the cancelled Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans ‘Gazlowe the Goblin’ was a zeppelin pilot and engineer after the Second War. The young Thrall helped him repair his zeppelin and foil the ‘ground-breaking’ engineering plans of a group of nearby gnomish inventors. In thanks, Gazlowe helped him travel around the Eastern Kingdoms in his zeppelin. The machinery of this zeppelin contained a Samophlange. .
