Gazlowe.
He also abandoned the horde the moment his horse was losing the race. He also actively went for his own interests over those of his people, he enslaved his people during the goblin intro and by all rights should have been straight up killed during Cata.
He wasnt introduced as even slightly sympathetic like you might be able to claim with Garrosh or Sylvanas. He was always an antagonist and served himself and the horde only when it benefited him. As someone has played the Horde for a long, long time I am not surprised in the slightest and I am thrilled we get to rub that stain out.

I hate how biased the writers at Blizzard are. This is reflected in the story, how much they like the Alliance and despise the Horde…
Why can’t the terrible writers be neutral and fair?
Of course you can have your favorites, but not the way they do it!
Its deeply inaccurate to call gallywix a horde character. You ought to play the goblin intro at some point. The bilgewater goblins are horde. Gazlowe is horde. But Gallywix? No. His people joined the horde and since most bilgewater goblins were in debt to him, he hung around. Even in thw novels he is pretty far removed from his own people.
Also, splash screens shouldn’t be taken as lore informing. Kalimdor has been inaccurate since Malfurion first woke up, but also since Garrosh got squished. Of all the “leaders”, Gallywix is not a) available for farm b) ever shown doing things. Ever. His counterpart is Genn. He is not an active leader at all. c) ever gave anyone a quest or is even a major part of quest chains oitsode of the goblin starting zone.
The splash art might lead you to think he is someone to us, but he absolutely isnt. And while id love to blame that on bad writing, his early charicterzation is clear. The horde is not profitable 99% of the time and his dealings with us would only be if we could turn him a profit.
Lorewalker Cho is more horde than he is.

His loyalties didn’t lie with the Horde (until he was working for Sylvanas), but he was still a Horde faction leader. Gazlowe even says as much in the first chapter of the 11.1 storyline.

Gallywixis the kind of person that SHOULD be a loot piñata. But he really should not be killed but instead when near defeat bribes the dungeoneers/raiders into letting him flee.
There are however others that shouldn’t been given this treatment. For Alliance side I seen disturbing behaviour with Turalyon that could lead to him becoming one of these.

Blizzard doesn’t have the fortitude to withstand the forum backlash if they ever were to suggest an Alliance faction leader isn’t perfect and all powerful

I feel that’s remarkbly tounge in cheek. But i have a deep seated hatred of him ever since rolling my goblin. Lol
I mean… lets just say i dont trust turalyon.
He is HIGH on my list of “he’s got a messed up motive, and i think he’d make a great loot pinata”.
Garrosh was a harsh leader that went too far but he was definitely Horde. His power hunger was his downfall, but he should still be respected. Sylvanas got corrupted. HARD.

Thing is, ill call sylvannas and garrosh horde. They led their people. They gave a damn. They’re absolutely horde. But i struggle calling gallywix a leader because he never was and would be the first to tell you he’d sell his own people for a single gold piece, only he doesn’t see them as being worth that much.

They need to remember that they can use a character for this purpose without killing them. I can definitely see a group concerned adventures bash some sense into them. They could sometimes give up, surrender and hand over the keys to the loot as a reward. For lesser characters we have already seen similar things as a way to break mind control for instance. A faction leader deposed in a similar way could also go onto another career later. A Turalyon drunk on power could forced give up on trying to be a faction leader and perhaps drop his armour and become a priest. After a while he is a new bishop in the cathedral.

Also, Sylvanas is reformed, albeit stuck in the Maw for the foreseeable future, Garrosh was still technically Warchief when we kill him, albeit on the verge of deposal.
Jallywix left midway through BFA and hasn’t been active leader for years at this point.
It’s a VEEEEEERY big stretch to call him a “Horde” or “leader” much less the two put together considering it’s been like… 8 years since he held power? (did the math it’s actually 6 if we consider BFA took about maybe 2 years, though I think it was like a year? so 5 years and 6 months ish)

I think we’d have the purge the light from him. Maybe we’ll make him the first human demon hunter. But i want my loot.
Oddly, he scares me more than any other character in the game. Like, weve had villians with a given level of despicableness? But Tyralyon? He makes me deeply anxious.
I am light leaning for most of my characters but too much of a power, any power, will eventually corrupt you. I imagine him eventually launching a coup in Stormwind becoming a militaristic, holier than thou, Light based Zelot regime hell bent on launching a holy crusade against perceived enemies. These enemies would include other Light aligned characters that are not faithful enough in his eyes. Horde side some Mag’har orcs notice that they have seen this before in what happened to Yrel and suspect a similar cause. Perhaps whoever corrupted Yrel have a counterpart in this timeline as well?

Bold of you to assume that Gallywix was even remotely a “leader.” The only reason he lived past Cataclysm was because Thrall hand-waved the multiple counts of slave labor and trying to murder people because, uhhhhhh. Reasons.

In the end they will all be loot bags for the Alliance. Undermine we take out the gobo’s.
Come Midnight we will take out all the BE leaders. Then one by one till they are all gone and all the savages have to bend the knee to High King Regent Lord Warchief Anduin.
No one liked him anyway.
I find the faux outrage funny. Can’t wait to see everyone get mad if or when they make Baine a raid boss.

They make him a raid boss, imma wipe the raid to protect him.
Can’t wait for us to kill Gallywix only to find out he’s been causing problems for xal’atath the entire time and now she’s stronger because hes gone
