Described by Thomas as a bully, Gally is hotheaded and arrogant, constantly threatening the other boys with violence. Despite his flaws, Gally cares deeply about the safety of the Gladers, sacrificing his own life to prevent the Grievers from killing any of the other boys. Even though he was not the first person to arrive in the maze, Gally seeks to maintain order in the Glade through establishing rules of conduct and behavior, and will take charge if he thinks people are out of line.
