Don Eduardo "Lalo" Salamanca (c. 1960 - June 25th, 2004) is one of the two main antagonists (alongside Chuck McGill) of Better Call Saul, serving as the final antagonist of Season 4 and the main antagonist of Seasons 5 and 6. He also serves as a posthumous antagonist in Breaking Bad.
By effectively using his condition as a weapon against his brother, Chuck betrays all of the trust that Jimmy had placed in him and starts down a much darker path to destroy jimmy's career as a lawyer.
He may have had a different perspective than anyone else in the show since he knew Jimmy his whole life, but he loved the law more than his own brother and even though most people would commend Jimmy for working in the mail room while finishing his bachelor's degree, getting his law degree, and passing the bar exam, ...
Both the Breaking Bad show and the Better Call Saul “Breaking Bad” episode prove, sadly, that Chuck was right about Jimmy all along. While Chuck died in Better Call Saul season 3, the character continues to cast a large shadow over Jimmy's life – even when he is not brought up.
One of the subplots of the show follows Chuck's obsessive compulsive order (OCD), a mental illness where people suffer from intrusive thoughts and compulsions.
Jimmy discovers that Chuck secretly used Howard to get him off the case—the same way Chuck used Howard to block Jimmy from becoming an attorney at HHM. Jimmy confronts Chuck, who tells Jimmy that he doesn't consider him a "real lawyer" since he is still the same "Slippin' Jimmy" from Cicero.
Jimmy learns in that scene that it was Jimmy's act of spilling the beans to the insurance carrier that lead to Chuck's death. Jimmy now knows he was the responsible one - and that Howard mistakenly blames himself.
Gustavo "Gus" Fring (Late 1950s/Early 1960s - July 15, 2009), mockingly referred to as the Chicken Man, is the main antagonist of the AMC TV series Breaking Bad and a major character in its prequel series Better Call Saul.
As of Season 3, it's made pretty clear that his Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity emerged around the time of his divorce, heavily implying that his wife leaving him is what triggered it.
Antisocial personality disorder
Sometimes he even exceeds normative morality to the point of altruism (like when he saves the twins' lives from Tuco's revenge in Season 1, how he takes exceptionally good care of his brother Chuck during his illness and how he risks his career to save his assistant Huell from jail).
Jimmy wound up with a suspended law license, but exacted revenge by exposing Chuck's illness as a mental one, which led to the malpractice rates on HHM to skyrocket, which led Chuck's partner Howard (Patrick Fabian) to try to nudge him into retirement, which led Chuck — who had been working dutifully toward recovery — ...
At the end of Monday's season 3 finale of Better Call Saul, Chuck (Michael McKean) apparently decided enough was enough, and instead of continuing to face his daunting demons, he gave into the darkest instinct of them, taking his own life by literal lantern light.
Lalo is killed by Gus in the season six episode "Point and Shoot". Gordon Smith said it was considered for Mike to kill Lalo, but this idea was discarded in order to let the "biggest big bads" in the series – Gus and Lalo – come face to face.
Worst of all, he's consistently cruel to Jimmy, who follows him around like a puppy desperate for scraps of approval and takes care of him through his illness despite getting nothing in return (Chuck claims to suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity, an allergy to electricity—which is not a recognized medical ...
Indeed, Gus not maintaining control is not something we frequently see. And The Mandalorian star says Lalo poses the same threat to Gus that Gus has posed to others, making him Gus's ultimate threat. “I don't like loose cannons. I don't like loose cannons who can't control themselves.
Walter became dangerous once he developed his alter ego, Heisenberg. Certainly Gus underestimated him as a threat. But Walter spent most of his life as benign—he needed to develop cancer to feel his anger at lost opportunities. Walt was dangerous as Heisenberg when he felt thwarted and desperate.
Gus (or one of his men) called Hank in order to give him a chance to defend himself. This was Gus' way of almost sticking it to the cartel without being too obvious. If Gus ordered a hit out on the brothers himself, it's likely the cartel would know and declare war on Gus and his operation.
Chuck also resented jimmy because of his likeability. Jimmy's big mistake was trying to win his brother's respect. People with big egos and great intellect, often look down on others they deem unworthy.
Jimmy was extremely upset about Chuck's death, until Howard took the blame — essentially exonerating Jimmy. The reason Jimmy felt bad is that, while he does have a good heart, he is also very selfish. He initially blamed himself for Chuck's death.
