History Characters / BetterCallSaulOtherCharacters

* ParentsAsPeople: Charles was undeniably a good man who loved his sons and tried to instill good morals in them but his actions unintentionally left both with seriously warped views of the world and themselves. Jimmy ended up believing that hard work and honesty would never help him get ahead and in a world of scammers and con artists, the only way to survive is to be better at it and Chuck did believe in the value of hard work and integrity but felt emotionally deprived and with a serious case of jealousy at how his parents seemed to prefer Jimmy and his belief in his own integrity left him a raging narcissist who couldn't fathom being in the wrong about anything and made him blind to his own worst impulses. He also trusted Chuck to act as something akin to an additional parent to Jimmy and always help him out which contributed to Chuck's view that Jimmy would never change and that Chuck had a right to determine wheter or not Jimmy worked as a lawyer or not. And while Chuck speaks fondly of his work ethic, it's heavily implied that he got a similar lesson from Jimmy, that their dad was too trusting for his own good and that formed his own insistence on never believing Jimmy could change.

* ContinuitySnarl: Chuck says that he is named after him, which should mean that his name is Charles [=McGill=], Sr. However, it says on Chuck's tombstone that his father is Willard [=McGill=], which either means that [=McGill=] senior is actually named Willard Charles [=McGill=] or the writers make a mistake.

* FamilyBusiness: The brothers [=McGill=] grew up in (and helped out with) a small town general and hardware store run by their dad. Classic.

* DeathByDespair: Seeing his store have to close and losing his dream crushed him so badly he died just a few months later which Chuck believes was due to the failure.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: He's infamous for this amongst grifters (and locals), unfortunately. A semi-thought-out sob story would get them either a major discount, a freebie... or outright cash.

* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Both his sons grew up to be quite different from him, inheriting some traits but fatally missing others. Jimmy inherited his charm and skill with people but lacks his honesty, work ethic and integrity while Chuck inherited his self-discipline but fatally missed out on his humility, sincerity and idealism.

* ParentsAsPeople: He was undeniably a good man who loved his sons and tried to instill good morals in them but his actions unintentionally left both with seriously warped views of the world and themselves.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: His consistent gullibility has a big impact on Jimmy's warped sense of ethics and morals, causing him to be influenced more by the grifters than his own father.

* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Both his sons grew up to be quite different from him, Jimmy not inheriting his hard work and integrity and being set on going through life conning people and cutting corners and Chuck fatally lacking his dad's humility and sincere nature and eventually becoming the envious, raging narcissist we see in the show.

!!!Organizations
[[folder:Santa Rosa Insurance]]
The insurance firm that provides malpractice insurance to lawyers working for [=HHM=], as well as Jimmy.

* XanatosGambit: Chuck accuses them of trying to pull one of these by dramatically raising [=HHM's=] rates. Either [=HHM=] pays much more, or they fire Santa Rosa and become another insurance firm's problem.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Jean Villepique
An agent working for Santa Rosa.
----
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Acts sympathetic towards Jimmy, but when he breaks down crying in front of her and starts talking about Chuck's condition and his breakdown, she writes down a note to ''[[KickTheDog raise Chuck's insurance rates.]]'' Jimmy planned on this of course, but really, how heartless can you be and there's a hint that maybe even ''he'' was momentarily surprised by how willing she was to do this?
* SmallRoleBigImpact: She takes note of Chuck's recent mishaps according to Jimmy's CrocodileTears, leading to his insurance spikes and thus everything else they entail.
* UnwittingPawn: Of Jimmy's. He manipulates her into believing that Chuck is falling apart as a lawyer, even though some of the things Jimmy attributes to Chuck were in fact Jimmy's doing.

[[folder:Grief Counseling Group]]
!!Anita
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/012002.jpg]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/TamaraTunie
A woman in the grief counseling group that Stacey attends. She forms a friendship with Mike.

* BrokenBird: Downplayed compared to Stacey, but the death of her husband is still hurting her. It doesn't help that unlike Stacey, who ended up having some closure when Mike gives the AwfulTruth, Anita's husband simply disappeared.
* CallForward: Her husband went missing after a hike in the woods and left his family wondering about where he went. It not only reflects the GoodSamaritan Mike got indirectly killed but also echoes Mike's eventual fate in ''Series/BreakingBad''.
* PutOnABus: Or rather she stayed on the bus. After recurring for a few episodes, her appearances halt altogether after Mike tells the grief counseling group what he really thinks of them, thus ending their ShipTease.
* RecurringCharacter: Whenever the grief counseling is of concern for Mike, she's there.
* ShipTease: She's clearly interested in Mike, and although he's seemingly interested back, he's a little more tentative.
!!Henry [=DeVore=]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yhmeayz.png]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/MarcEvanJackson
A member of the grief counseling group. He lies about having a dead wife to get a hard-on from the reactions of others.

[[folder:Ughetta]]
!!Ughetta
[[quoteright:222:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/xvdy0up.png]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Michael Chieffo
A commissioner in charge of determining whether or not the new Mesa Verde branch in Scottsdale can open.

* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Played with. He does block Mesa Verde from opening its new branch because of a paperwork error, and Chuck acts like this is no big deal and can easily be overlooked, but Ughetta makes it clear that the paperwork error resulted in his staff researching the wrong location and thus rendered them unable to provide his commission with the information they need to determine whether the branch should be allowed to open. Kim is able to have an earlier date than what he proposed to Chuck by negotiating and looking for free spots.
* OldFriend: He's glad to see Chuck back to work during the meeting for Mesa Verde's branch opening, warmly welcoming him before they get to business.

* ViltrolicBestBuds: A small scene in season 6 shows Jimmy and Joey haggling over a price that ends with a pinky swear/handshake and Jimmy reminding him not to tell anyone else he pays Joey more, suggesting they have a slightly friendlier rapport one-on-one.

* VitrolicBestBuds: A small scene in season 6 shows Jimmy and Joey haggling over a price that ends with a pinky swear/handshake and Jimmy reminding him not to tell anyone else he pays Joey more, suggesting they have a slightly friendlier rapport one-on-one.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/BetsyBrandt
->''"No matter what they do with you now, no matter where they put you or for how long, it will never be enough.''"
The widow of a certain Hank Schrader who wishes to see Saul Goodman pay for his crimes.
----
* BerserkButton: Just the mere thought of Walter White sends her into a seething rage, which makes sense given his indirect role in her husband Hank's death. Notably, she refuses to even mention him by name.
* TheBusCameBack: Returns from ''Breaking Bad'' for the finale of ''Better Call Saul'', as a witness.
* CrusadingWidow: Denied the opportunity for revenge against Walt for Hank's death with Walt also dead, Marie's fervently determined to see ''anybody'' remotely linked with him (like Saul) punished in Walt's stead.
* DeathGlare: She fixes a withering scowl at Saul whenever she looks at him during court proceedings.
* RevengeByProxy: She is understandably ''very'' invested in seeing Saul convicted and rotting away in prison for the rest of his life because of Hank's murder. After all, she can't get revenge on Walter White because he's [[Recap/BreakingBadS5E16Felina dead]] (as are Jack, Todd, and the rest of the Neo-Nazis). Likewise, Jesse Pinkman is [[Film/ElCamino presumed to have fled to Mexico]] and is beyond the government's reach. That leaves Saul as Walter's last major associate still standing. So in her mind, Saul is the one left holding (and deserving) the blame for the murders of her husband and Gomez.
* SpeakIllOfTheDead: She refers to the deceased Walt solely as "the two-faced, poisonous bastard."
* TookALevelInJerkass: While she was already on the road to this by the end of ''Breaking Bad'', her fury over Walter dying before he could receive his legal comeuppance and grief over Hank's death has made her a lot more curt and unpleasant. This not only extends towards Saul (for whom her unfriendliness is very justified), but towards the prosecution when she feels they aren't moving the direction she wants them to.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Sandrine Holt

* MoralityPet: Keeping her and Kaylee safe is the only thing that Mike has left to live for.Subverted in that Mike could have lived his life as a grumpy booth man but Stacee's situation forces Mike to make more money for her and Kaylee's sake, money he can only get through illegal means.

* ObnoxiousInLaws: Averted, she really likes Mike and he looks after her like she was his own child.

->''"<Oh, my god! But they're so angry!>"''

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: She may have a distant and icy relationship with her husband, [[spoiler: but it's clear that she loved him deeply and is emotionally crushed by his death.]]

* TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler: She's shown in 2010 to have at least one photo of her late husband around the house they once shared.]]

* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: One of three prospective clients Jimmy gets after his billboard stunt and the only one of the three sane enough that Jimmy can actually help her.

* [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Only Known By His Nickname]]: His name isn't given on the show, and the casting information just refers to him as 'Friendly-Faced Man.'

* InnocentBystander: A completely normal clerk who, as Mike puts it, isn't in "the game" and whose death is completely unnecessary on Lalo's part.
