Character from Bully by Rockstar Vancouver
Bullworth's English teacher and resident tragedy — a genuine educator drowning in alcohol, the only faculty member who actually cares about his students and the one least equipped to help them.
Mr. Galloway is the saddest character at Bullworth because he's the proof that caring isn't enough. He genuinely likes his students, genuinely wants to teach them, and genuinely tries to be the adult in a school full of failing ones. But he's an alcoholic, and his addiction undermines every good impulse he has. He shows up late, he shows up drunk, and Hattrick is always watching, always documenting, always waiting for the right moment to end his career. His relationship with Ms. Philips — the art teacher — is the game's one genuinely tender storyline among the adults. They're two people who probably shouldn't be at Bullworth finding something human in each other despite the dysfunction surrounding them. Jimmy helps Galloway at several points, and Galloway's gratitude is colored by the shame of needing a fifteen-year-old to save him from his own demons. He represents the game's thesis about institutional failure: Bullworth doesn't just fail its students, it fails the people who try to help them.
Middle-aged with a rumpled, disheveled appearance that tells his whole story. Thinning brown hair, bloodshot eyes, and a suit that's seen better decades. Has the flushed complexion and slightly unsteady bearing of a functioning alcoholic. Despite the mess, there's something gentle in his face — a kindness that the bottle hasn't quite managed to erase.
