Gulum-Ei

"There are thieves and then there is Gulum-Ei. No honor, no code at all. He'd shake your hand and stab you in the back at the same time."

- Brynjolf

Gulum-Ei is an Argonian dockworker who works in the East Empire Company Warehouse and helps to process all of the shipments of goods that go in and out of Solitude. He can be found in the Winking Skeever during the day to fence goods.

Personality and Wares
Being of a dubious nature, Gulum-Ei has first dibs on of some of the finest goods to grace Skyrim's shores, and pays the Thieves Guild a cut of whatever he lifts. Though not officially part of the Guild, their arrangement has proven to be lucrative enough that the Guild allows Gulum-Ei to operate independently. However, as of late, Gulum-Ei's cut has begun to dwindle, and the Guild has become suspicious.

Before the Thieves Guild questline, he will be quite cold, and the only words he will say to the Dragonborn are:

"I have no business with you. Leave me."

Scoundrel's Folly
Recent information leads Mercer Frey to believe Gulum-Ei has been acting as a go between for the Guild's "Anonymous adversary." He becomes a fence for the guild if the Dragonborn leaves him alive after these dealings.
