Saul serves as the lawyer and adviser for meth cooks Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, getting them out of several difficult situations. Saul boasts extensive criminal connections and resources, and serves as a go-between connecting drug distributors, evidence removers, impersonators, and other criminals-for-hire.
10 Jimmy McGill / Saul Goodman
Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) was a good person at one time, but he isn't in the Breaking Bad series. He is a man who loves the con, and the excitement of living a conman's life. He is a selfish, self-centered man who only looks out for Saul Goodman.
Better Call Saul is both a prequel and a sequel to Breaking Bad. The idea was that Better Call Saul would show Saul Goodman's origin story, meaning that it was expected to cover Saul's past only. However, in a clever twist, Better Call Saul actually started by following Saul Goodman after the Breaking Bad finale.
Walter White died before Jimmy became Gene. That's why he becomes Gene to begin with.
The final season of Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould's Better Call Saul brought about the highly anticipated return of Breaking Bad's iconic, beloved duo, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul).

Saul initially represents Badger, Jesse's friend and one of Walt's dealers, when Badger gets pinched by an undercover cop. Saul's prepared to help Badger flip on his boss “Heisenberg” to the DEA when Walt and Jesse intervene at gunpoint.
Fans rightly presumed that these two men were the "Lalo" and "Ignacio" spoken of by Saul in that Breaking Bad scene, but it was still a mystery as to why Saul was so terrified of Lalo.
As described previously, the king may have been afflicted with either manic episode or mixed or major depressive disorder with psychotic features. Thus, it is likely that the king suffered from bipolar I disorder.
After Walt tries one last time to intimidate Saul into doing his bidding, his cancer rears its ugly head in a series of coughs that bring him to his knees and let Saul know big bad Heisenberg is no more before he leaves for his new life in Omaha.
Saul Goodman
His bodyguard Huell was also a stand-up guy. The only problem about Saul is that he was loyal to Walt, while he had no problems with betraying Jesse.
Kim attends the sentencing in Albuquerque, where Jimmy admits he lied so she would be present in person. He confesses to enabling Walt and admits his role in Chuck's suicide. He is sentenced to 86 years in prison, where he is revered by fellow inmates who recognize him as Saul.
He is stuck, and everywhere he turns, cops are surrounding him. He finally takes to hiding in a dumpster, trying to scramble for his phone to call Ed the Disappearer. But his luck seems to have run dry, and he fumbles everything he's holding. That's when the police find and capture him.
As he finds himself on the other side of the law, he develops a new persona: the criminal lawyer Saul Goodman. Identity change is often catalyzed by trauma — in his case, coming to terms with his losses. He is the last McGill left and his unique skill sets cannot be monetized in the legitimate world.
For the majority of Breaking Bad's run, Skyler White was the subject of immense vitriol -- moreso than any other member of its morally gray cast. Fans of Breaking Bad viewed Bryan Cranston's protagonist Walter White as the everyman.
Throughout the entirety of Breaking Bad, two characters stand out as worthy of the "kingpin" title because of how intelligent and calculating they are. That would be Walter White himself and Gustavo "Gus" Fring.
Even though Walter ruined Saul's life and forced him to live a life of obscure anonymity, the desire to live with any attachment to White is all he has left of his previous identity.
The series also showed us just what happened to Saul/Jimmy after his association with Walter White (Bryan Cranston): He fled to Omaha under a new identity (Gene) and worked as a baker at a shopping-mall Cinnabon. This final episode brings all three of his personae together as Jimmy, Gene and Saul's worlds collide.
Saul explained that he was threatened into helping Walt and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) and claimed that he went into hiding out of fear of them, not the police. In the end he managed to persuade the prosecution to make a deal with him, reducing his sentence to seven years in prison.
Jesse Pinkman
After "dueling" with a criminal named Neil over a share of Todd's money, Jesse was able to pay for the service and begins a new life in Alaska. He left a letter for his former girlfriend's son, Brock, one of Breaking Bad's most victimized characters, but otherwise didn't say goodbye to anyone.
However, as explained in Walter White's Better Call Saul finale scene, the ending is about regret. This is why Jimmy also confesses to the court about his involvement in pushing his brother Chuck to the brink of suicide, even though it technically had nothing to do with Jimmy's RICO case.
