Gallus was definitely a good guildmaster, and one of my favorite characters in the game. So charming, he was more than once caught in the act of robbing someone and ended up BECOMING THAT PERSON’S BEST FRIEND. Most of the contacts the Guild had came from him because he had such a diverse set of acquaintances, and when he died all those contacts dried up. A thief through and through, but also a scholar, historian and linguist. It helped in plotting heists. He learned an entire extinct, forgotten language so he could use it to write journal entries no one would understand, and also wrote and published actual books. He even discovered the existence of the Nightingales and learned how to become one more or less single-handedly, bringing Mercer and Karliah along for the ride.
