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.
Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis)
Hector is a hateful, abusive man. He is prone to evil because he enjoys the pain he causes.
Up to this point, Gus is portrayed as the smartest person on the show, matched only by Walter White in Breaking Bad. In spite of this, Lalo is able to believably outmaneuver him at nearly every turn.
Eduardo 'Lalo' Salamanca
Pretty much from the word go, Lalo cements himself as not only the smartest of the Salamanca family but as one of the best and most intelligent villains of either series also.
Because of the rivalry between Gus and Hector, Lalo becomes dedicated to disrupting Gus' legitimate restaurant business Los Pollos Hermanos and Lavandería Brillante, as well as his reputation with the cartel. Unlike his other rivals such as Walter White, Gus was highly fearful of Lalo due to his cunning and resilience.
Lalo outwitted and outsmarted Gus at every turn, but Gus prevailed with a lucky shot in the dark. Did you take comfort in the fact that Gus needed the Devil's luck to take down Lalo? Of course!

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.

He was a meth distributor formerly associated with the Salamanca family, and later Jesse Pinkman. He is the cousin of Emilio Koyama. The character was portrayed by Max Arciniega.
The cousins were both very silent individuals, avoiding any kind of unneeded conversation, and only speaking when absolutely necessary. They seemed to have both mastered a complex system of nonverbal communication. As they were shown to be able to effectively do their jobs without saying a word on multiple occasions.
In Better Call Saul season 6, episode 8, Gus kills Lalo because he knows that, if he doesn't, his rival will take him out instead.
In the end, Lalo's only weakness – pride – was what allowed Gus to get the upper hand and finally kill Lalo in Better Call Saul season 6, episode 8, "Point and Shoot." This isn't to say that Gus didn't suffer from the same weakness (he absolutely did), but Gus handled it differently, which is what made all the ...

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.
From the end of season one to the beginning of season two, Walt's greatest adversary was Tuco Salamanca, a power-crazed drug dealer who never tolerated disrespect from his own crew.
After Bolsa and Gus visit Hector and promise him vengeance for Lalo's supposed death, Gus realizes from Hector's demeanor that Lalo is still alive. Now anticipating a revenge attack by Lalo, Gus has Mike arrange for around-the-clock guards for his home and businesses.
Rather than pretend to flee as planned so that Victor can kill him quickly, Nacho uses a piece of broken glass to free himself from his zip tie, seize Juan's gun, and kill himself. The Cousins then assist Hector to fire bullets into Nacho's lifeless body.
Nacho Varga (Michael Mando)
