Only problem is that Gazlowe is Steamwheedle, not Bilgewater, and the way this is executed really bad when you break down the Bilgewater history:
The Bilgewater Cartel’s Kaja-Cola CEO is stepping up to overthrow Gallywix. Gallywix resorts to more and more dastardly things to try and stop them.
The island starts blowing up, and the Kaja-Cola CEO (the player, btw) keeps saving everyone, and even establishes an alliance with the nearby Orcs.
The CEO is a hero, and more popular than ever. Gallywix makes a desperate move to hold onto control, but is ultimately thwarted by the Kaja-Cola CEO and Thrall.
But then Thrall decides that Gallywix should stay in power anyway, despite this being a matter he should have zero say in as only a former member of the Horde, and not a member of the Bilgewater Cartel.
The hero, the Kaja-Cola CEO, shrinks into obscurity and is forgotten.
Gallywix, the villain who lost but then won anyway, continues to be a villain to his own faction, and his people are too cowardly to stand up to him because, apparently, that hasn’t been a thing since the Kaja-Cola CEO faded into obscurity.
Then Gallywix leaves and Thrall the guy whose fault this all is decides that Gazlowe, someone who isn’t even a part of the Cartel, should lead them.

The takeaway is that the Bilgewater Cartel have no personal agency, they just let others control them, and Thrall gets to decide their fate for better or worse.
Will things be better under Gazlowe? Probably. But it really sucks that the Bilgewater don’t get to do anything for themselves. They’re being rescued, but it’s sad that they’re written as having to be rescued by others and can’t stand up for themselves.
