- "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[src]
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
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."
Background
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.
Interactions
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.
Trivia
- If he is not killed in Scoundrels Folly, and Solitude is taken over by the Guild, Gulum-Ei will speak about how he no longer needs to hide his wares from the guards, and can simply take them out of the East Empire Company Warehouse without any trouble.
- His true name is Galum-Jei, though he has also been known to use the alias 'Gajul-Lei.'
- According to the Creation Kit, he is the brother of Deeja and Jaree-Ra.
