Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) is primarily an ally to
The finale did give Jesse a happy ending of sorts when Walt, finally showing something like remorse for what he'd done to his former student, set him free. But our final image of Jesse was behind the wheel, screaming, gunning it down backroads to make his escape. It's an ending, but it's hardly closure.
Steve Gomez is another of the best characters on Breaking Bad. Unlike so many other characters, he also seemed to have a moral center that guided his actions and, in addition to being a loyal member of the DEA, he was also a surprisingly loyal friend to Hank, even when the latter didn't deserve it.
Hank Schrader:
Hank may be the only character on Breaking Bad to become more moral as the show's ebbed on.
He wasn't turning on Walt for his own benefit, he was doing it out of guilt. ... Until Jesse figured out that Walt had poisoned Brock, all he wanted to do was run away and bury himself in his guilt. They chose not to have Jesse kill Walt because it wasn't part of his nature.
Aside from seeing death around every corner, we have to remember that Jesse was abjured by his parents, and he still has PTSD from shooting Gale. The Solution: In order for Jesse to have a fighting chance, Brock needs to make it out of next week's episode alive.
Jesse was actively putting Walt and his family in danger by pouring all the gasoline in their house. And when Walt found out Jesse was working with Hank he felt betrayed and so he spit on him and told him he watched Jane die to make Jesse feel betrayed.
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.
1 Jack Welker
Jack Welker (Michael Bowen) is the leader of a neo-Nazi gang and the most evil Breaking Bad character. He is a man who is motivated by the moment. He may seem like a man motivated by money, but he is motivated by pride and pleasure.
The sides of his personality — sociopath and family man, scientist and killer, rational being and creature of impulse, entrepreneur and loser — are not necessarily as contradictory as we might have supposed. Or rather, if we insist on supposing that they are, it may be for our own sentimental reasons.
Todd Alquist Is the Sociopathic Villain of Breaking Bad's Final Season. Here's What to Remember Before El Camino. Jesse Plemmons's character looms large over the Jesse Pinkman movie. Video Player is loading.
Gustavo "Gus" Fring is a fictional character portrayed by Giancarlo Esposito in the Breaking Bad franchise, serving as the main antagonist of the crime drama series Breaking Bad and a major character in its prequel Better Call Saul.
At a young age, he was kicked out of the house and forced to live with his aunt until she died of cancer. His aunt's wife was taken away from him too after it was revealed that he was cooking meth in it.
In his last shot of the series, Jesse is seen screaming, crying and laughing all at once as he breaks out of the compound, finally in the driver's seat (Metaphor alert!). He left behind Walter White, who finally succumbed to his gunshot wounds on the meth lab floor.
It's ironic that Jesse and Walter Jr., Walt's biological son, never cross paths in the show. This actually invokes a sense of sadness in realizing that Walt seems to outwardly show more love and affection for Jesse than he does his own son. He demonstrates this after being blackmailed by Jesse's girlfriend, Jane.
Walter White in 'Breaking Bad'
There's no denying that Walter White is a calculated genius when he isn't letting his ego get in his way.
Todd Alquist is the secondary antagonist of the fifth and final season of Breaking Bad and the posthumous central antagonist of its 2019 sequel film El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie.
Marie and Saul
Breaking Bad fans might find it hard to remember that Saul and Marie, Hank's kleptomaniac wife, never actually meet each other.
Throughout the five seasons of Breaking Bad, Walt caused the death of almost 300 people, directly or indirectly. As the character descended into wickedness, Walt didn't necessarily seem to fall under the label of a psychotic murderer.
Laughing Nazi sociopaths loot Walt's money. Walt betrays Jesse, hands him over to be tortured and killed, and reveals that he knowingly let the love of Jesse's life die for good measure.
Jesse did not even rat on Walt when he got pinched for the money. If Saul would not have taken Jesse's weed then he would have never put it together that Walt and Saul had taken the ricin from him in the first place, so he would have never learned that Walt poisoned Brock, and not wanted to burn Walts house down.
Over the five seasons of Breaking Bad, as well as the sequel movie, Jesse killed five people. Of course, his actions led to a number of other deaths including the demise of Tomás Cantillo, Hank Schrader, Steven Gomez, Andrea Cantillo, and various rival drug dealers.
