Zafiro Añejo is a fictitious brand of tequila and distilled beverage created for Breaking Bad. During a party with the Cartel, Gustavo Fring gifted a poisoned bottle of Zafiro Añejo to Don Eladio and his capos, causing them to drop dead within minutes.
The gift that Gus Fring gives to Eladio Vuente, Zafiro Añejo is a fictional brand of rare tequila. The writers of the show invented it when they were unable to secure a real product for the scene; no company wanted their product to be the one that poisoned Vuente and his men in the scene.
As a token of respect for the renewed business relationship, Gus brings Don Eladio a gift of fine tequila, which all Cartel dons drink after Gus takes the first shot.
As Eladio and his henchmen party, Gus goes to the bathroom and induces himself to vomit; the tequila was poisoned, and everyone who drank it dies.
Zafiro Añejo tequila can cost anywhere between $30 to more than $100 per bottle. The ordinary Añejo will most likely cost more than $50.
A unique blend of 100% finest and natural botanicals from Spain with the refreshing taste of juniper, white flowers and lemon. Best enjoyed on ice or mixed with lemon-lime soda.
Burnt agave with almost some chocolate notes on the nose. Very sweet on the palate, a nice zest with some pepper and chemical taste.
His criminal activity has resulted in the death of a family member. With Hank's death the Heisenberg façade is shattered for good. Walt can't deny his culpability in Hank's death, not with any credibility. He doesn't have that resolve anymore.
No. Gus was only an employee of Madrigal Electromotive GmbH. Peter Schuler (Gus' boss) is way more powerful than Gus.
In "Hermanos", Eladio says that when he ordered Max killed, he spared Gus because of his unstated but apparently powerful connection to Chile. Vince Gilligan has stated that he purposely left Gus's origins ambiguous, comparing them to the briefcase in Pulp Fiction.
Once every 20 years, you forget your place." Better Call Saul season 6, episode 9 ("Fun & Games") goes much further, revealing Eladio actually knew Gus harbored a burning, intense hatred towards him. After their meeting with the Salamancas, Eladio utters, "When I looked into your eyes...
Eladio Vuente, commonly known as Don Eladio, is the boss of the Cartel, a Mexican drug cartel that employs Juan Bolsa, Hector Salamanca, and other Salamanca family members (Tuco, Marco, Leonel, Lalo, and Joaquin).
When his boyfriend Max is murdered, Don Eladio spares Gus' life saying “we know who you are”, meaning they understand his connections back home. If they killed Gus, there were be serious repercussions.
Hatred. Gus Fring's biggest weakness was his unending hatred for Hector Salamanca, who, twenty years ago, had shot his partner in the head just to make a point. That's why he spent the next 20 years in the drug business and not just go back to cooking fried chicken and making a stable profit.
Gus Sent A Message To Walt & Jesse By Killing Victor
The real reason why Gus killed Victor in such a brutal fashion is that it sends a crystal clear message to the two men: if they put the operation at risk, then Gus wouldn't hesitate to kill either one of them as well.
After Max was killed in front of his eyes, the loss of such an emotional and possible romantic factor of his life snapped Gustavo into a ruthless crime lord.
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.
Hector Salamanca
Having served as one of Don Eladio's most feared men for decades, Hector has been as close to the top as it gets.

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.
In it, DEA agent Hank, wounded after a shootout with a murderous band of neo-Nazis, refused to beg for his life (despite his brother-in-law Walt's pleas) and told Nazi leader Jack to “go f–k yourself” before taking a fatal bullet.

The ultracompetent attorney who married Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), the man most likely to bring out the shadier side of her character, never appears in Breaking Bad, which led some viewers to assume she would die before Saul finished its run. But as Monday's series finale confirmed, Kim Wexler lives on.
Gus Fring hated Hector Salamanca, because Hector killed Max Arciniega, who was Gus's best friend and possibly lover in 1989.
