1 Walter White
Walter is perhaps one of the best characters in any TV show, not solely Breaking Bad.
A notable exception was Walt's wife Skyler (Anna Gunn). While crushed beneath the weight of Walt's criminal activities and desperate to protect their children, Skyler was widely seen as a massive hypocrite by Breaking Bad fans, who treated the character with extreme malice.
Jack Welker (Michael Bowen) is the leader of a neo-Nazi gang and the most evil Breaking Bad character.
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.
She is highly intelligent and capable at accounting and money laundering, allowing her to deduce Walter's second life with little to no information at her disposal. Disgusted by Walter's moral decline which she has fallen victim to, Skyler is a pragmatist willing to do whatever it takes to keep her family together.
Bryan Cranston as Walter White
It's hard to deny Cranston's excellence in Breaking Bad's central role.
Walter White
Walter Hartwell White (also known by his clandestine alias Heisenberg) (played by Bryan Cranston) is an overqualified high school chemistry teacher from Albuquerque, New Mexico. After being diagnosed with lung cancer, he starts manufacturing methamphetamine to provide for his family upon his death.
Out of all the main characters, Walter Jr. is definitely the show's most innocent one (except for baby Holly). Despite this, Walter Jr. has done some questionable things, yet they're all done out of ignorance. He doesn't actually know what is going on, having no idea that his father is a hardened criminal.
Todd Alquist is the secondary antagonist of both the fifth and final season of Breaking Bad and the 2019 sequel film El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. He is a friendly and hardworking, yet ruthless and mentally-disturbed enforcer for a White Supremacist gang, run by his uncle, Jack Welker.
He's someone who constantly tries to be funny with classic Dad jokes that aren't funny, but somehow that makes him even funnier. He's very kind and loyal to his family and his work, putting his body on the line at several points.
Skyler and Jane
Interestingly enough, the two most important ladies in Walt and Jesse's life never met each other. Jane is introduced in the second season of Breaking Bad as Jesse's next-door neighbor and eventual love interest.
He is a wounded young man who was rejected by his own family and is looking for somewhere to belong. He loves children, he deeply cares for people in his life, and he is often the only voice of reason. Even though fans hate some of his personality traits, he is a redeemable character.
Like Cersei was to Tywin, Walt was the chaotic element that completely undid all of Gus' hard work, and eventually destroyed himself in the process as well. Personally, I think that Walt was the most dangerous of the two. They were both diabolical and ruthless, but Gus could control his emotions much better than Walt.
As they paired up against Jesse's will to cook meth, they formed a dysfunctional father-and-son-like relationship. While Walt's transformation from a passive doormat to a sociopathic drug lord often stole the show's spotlight, Jesse was just as much a main character as Walt was, if not even more.
He starts of as an Anti-hero, becomes more amoral as the series progresses, eventually beconing a villain protagonist by season 5. Eventually as his empire crashes he turns back into an Anti Hero.
Hector hates Jesse and Walt for their involvement in Tuco's death and attempted poisoning of him, but he hates the feds more, and so refuses to rat out Jesse. This also means that Jesse is free and outside prison for the rest of Hector's family to take cartel-style vengeance on him and Walt for Tuco.
It's hard to call anyone in the Breaking Bad universe a hero, as almost every character is a criminal, but each project proved that Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) was the real hero.
Season 5, Episode 14 (2013)
There is only one television episode with a perfect score on IMDb, and that deservingly goes to "Ozymandias." The highest-rated Breaking Bad episode and in TV history, the episode is a knockout emotional rollercoaster and a masterclass in dramatic storytelling.
During his time on the series, Jesse Pinkman was involved with two women, namely: Jane Margolis and Andrea Cantillo. Jane, a tattoo artist, was a hedonistic lover of life while Andrea was a reserved mother. There is an argument for each of them as better long-term partners for Jesse.
Season Four
The fourth season of “Breaking Bad” is perhaps the most complete season of the show as it takes viewers on an incredible journey as White attempts to dethrone Fring from his meth empire crown.
She even organized for family intervention, with Hank and Marie present. And when she had separated ftom Walt, she made sure to check up on him at his new apartment. All their troubles aside, Skyler truly loved Walt.
Walter White was a greater genius, in terms of intellect, but Fring was a far more effective drug lord. Fring set up a world-class chain of distribution, married to a German conglomerate, played the Cartel, then buried its kings, built the super lab and had the business savvy to run this thing in perpetuity.
When it comes to bare bones intelligence, Walter White is in a league of his own. Walter may be a Highschool chemist but he could easily be much more which is hinted a lot throughout the story.
