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.
Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton)
Lalo Salamanca is the evilest man in Better Call Saul, and may even be eviler than Jack Welker of Breaking Bad. Lalo Salamanca is simply a psychopath. His way of thinking is different than most people's.
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.

Hector Salamanca was born in Mexico in 1939 and was one of the founding members of the Cartel and was referred to, even in his infirmity, as "Don Hector" by contemporary cartel leaders like Juan Bolsa.
His full name is 'Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez', but he is more commonly known as 'The Rat', or just 'Tuco'. Tuco is the character that brought popularity to the phrase "There are two kind of people in the world...", using it more frequently than Blondie.
Hector is the last member of the Salamanca family who died. He is also the only one who died via suicide while the rest of the members were killed.
Hector is a former drug agent who worked for Don Eladio. His family members are very involved in the drug business. After an unexplained incident, he's left paralyzed in most of his body and can't speak or move on his own. His only means of communication is the bell on his wheelchair.
Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis) is ranked fifth because of his condition in the Breaking Bad series. He is confined to a wheelchair, and must ring a bell to speak. He could be meaner and more evil if he were physically able.
Joaquin Salamanca is a minor antagonist in Season 4 of Breaking Bad. He is a bodyguard for Don Eladio and enforcer for the Cartel, as well as the grandson and last living heir of Don Hector Salamanca. He was portrayed by Gabriel Nunez.
Calculating and intelligent, Nacho was formerly an employee at his father's shop A-Z Fine Upholstery before becoming affiliated with the Cartel. He became one of Tuco Salamanca's most trusted enforcers and later became the lieutenant of both Hector and Lalo Salamanca.
Tuco eventually traveled to Albuquerque, New Mexico and worked alongside his uncle at his drug distribution business. He employed No-Doze, his brother-in-law Gonzo and Nacho Varga as his closet associates and lieutenants, and also employed a number of street-level dealers, including Domingo "Krazy-8" Molina.
This episode refers to Tuco Salamanca (Raymond Cruz): his grandmother calls him "Mijo," which means "my son."
Lalo died smiling as a nod to the maniacal personality he carried throughout life, but also to stress the satisfaction he derived from having been right about Gus. The familiar, creepy smirk was one final act of rebellion. Even in his most painful moment, he refused to let Gus see a glimmer of defeat on his face.
Better Call Saul season 6's "Carrot & Stick" speaks to Gus Fring's awesome instincts, not only knowing a visit to Hector Salamanca was the best method of confirming whether the Lalo assassination stuck, but also getting exactly the cues he wanted from their conversation.
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.
Lalo Salamanca is the only Near Pure Evil from the Breaking Bad franchise who originated from the prequel Better Call Saul instead of the original show.
Walter is a much more morally depraved individual than Saul is, and consequently he was much more deserving of what he got.
