Biography

In his younger days, Gazlowe; like many goblins was a thief. Through adventuring, he gradually managed to make enough money to begin legitimate business, and proved to excel at it. ^{(LoM 30)}

Warcraft Adventures

In Warcraft Adventures, after the Second War, Gazlowe would have been an ally of Thrall, and helped him travel around the Eastern Kingdoms after his escape from the internment camp by fixing a zeppelin. It would have involved a Samophlange.

The Founding of Durotar

After the Third War, he was hired by Thrall as the chief engineer to help secure a reliable source of water for the newly constructed Orgrimmar city. Gazlowe sent an expedition to dig out some tunnels beneath the city, they looked for underground wells for use in the newly founded city, but they accidentally tunneled into a den of kobolds who immediately flooded into the caves and drove the goblin mining teams into retreat.

Later, when Rexxar was looking to earn his keep in Orgrimmar, Gazlowe sent him into the dug tunnels, the Orgrimmar Tunnels, to help collapse the off-shoot tunnels which the kobolds were using. When Rexxar did so, Gazlowe rewarded him with some magical items. Gazlowe and his engineers also dug out other tunnels where they found an unexplored city, they call that place Gazlowe's Excavation Site.

Gazlowe in World of Warcraft.

Now, at the age of 40, 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. This goblin's smile looks almost friendly, but for his sharp teeth. ^{(LoM 30)}

Gazlowe now resides in Ratchet as the manager of the port trading operation. He ships and receives to and from Booty Bay and Undermine.

He sent Rezlak, one of his boys, to Durotar to help the orcs. Baron Revilgaz sent a 99-Year-Old Port to Gazlowe as a gift, however it was stolen by Mad Magglish.

Gazlowe takes the role of a melee specialist, placing immobile temporary turrets and throwing timed bombs. He can become temporarily immobile to slowly charge a powerful long range laser. He has the choice of a Robo-goblin transformation that massively increases his effectiveness versus non-heroes or a Gravity Bomb which will pull all enemies to the center after a short pause.

Quotes

• Ah, new guy, huh? I'm Gazlowe, chief engineer around these parts. But enough about me. We got work to do, buddy!
• You see, me and my boys have been dredging out tunnels beneath the city, looking for underground wells. Problem is, we dug straight into a den of kobolds. Now those rat-freaks are running willy-nilly all over our tunnels!
• I need you to hook up with my boys and seal those kobolds back in their hole. Yeah, just find the tunnel entrance outside of town, and my boys will set you straight.
• So they blew themselves up, you say? Now that's occupational commitment! Anyway, ya done good, kid. Take these items, it's the least I can do to repay ya.
• Rezlak. There's one thing you need to know in life, and that's if you want something done well, do it yourself.
• You can get anything done for a price.

Notes

• The item Gazlowe's Charm is a reference to him.
• See also his description in Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans: Gazlowe the Goblin.
• In Warcraft III The Frozen Throne, Gazlowe uses the model of a goblin sapper, but because of the fact that the model itself contains three goblin models (alike to Mortar Team (Warcraft III) which also consists of two "models") it means that Gazlowe himself might be anyone of them. However, it is likely that the goblin with the Mohawk is Gazlowe considering the he is wearing Aviator Goggles and Leather Pants. The name or identity of the other goblin that accompanied Gazlowe is unknown.
