Trade Prince Donais is the main resident of the Gallywix Pleasure Palace in Azshara. He is a highly affluent member of the Bilgewater Cartel. Little is known about him or why he is in the Pleasure Palace, especially given that Trade Prince Gallywix is not yet included anywhere in the game outside of the goblin starting zones. He is very rude and chauvinistic to the player and sits on a pile of gold while wearing a tuxedo.
Official lore[]
Trade Prince Donais was recently listed in a lore article[1] written on the World of Warcraft official site.
The part about Donais reads:
- "I broke...into Maldy's desk, sir," she panted. "He...hid the key under a falcon statue. I found his research...on what the other trade princes are up to."
- "Great," I said. Maldy was getting soft if he was leaving that sort of thing lying around. "What are they doing? We gotta copy them if we're gonna stay competitive."
- Thissy shuffled through the papers.
- "Building mercenary armies."
- "Useful. Send a gift basket full of gold to the Southsea Freebooters."
- "Metal or chocolate, sir?"
- "Chocolate. They're gonna bite it anyway. Might as well give them a treat. What else?"
- "Perfume."
- "Perfume?"
- "Trade Prince Donais is really into it, sir."
- "Okay. Let me save you some time. Everything that's on that list? Get someone who works for me to do it. Get out of here. I have a party to attend."
- Thissy nodded once and took off.
From the looks of it Trade Prince Donais has some affiliation with the Southsea Freebooters, and apparently likes Perfume. We can only wait to hear more. Reading the post is highly recommended though, as it gives a great bit of lore behind Trade Prince Gallywix as well!

Notes[]
- Trade Prince Donais does not have any voice set whatsoever when clicked. This is likely because the Pleasure Palace appears to be incomplete.
- The title "Trade Prince" implies that Donais was or is a leader of a goblin cartel.
- His relation to Trade Prince Gallywix and the Bilgewater Cartel is unknown, but he shares many similar traits with Gallywix.
