| 21 | Todd's maternal uncle and the leader of a white supremacist gang. Walter pays Jack and his crew to kill Mike's guys in jail, who were involved in Gus' operation and may talk because the D.E.A. confiscated their hazard pay. They successfully kill nine of Mike's guys and their lawyer Dan Wachsberger in three separate prisons, within a two-minute timeframe. [[spoiler:He becomes the BigBad of Season 5 and, thus, the FinalBoss of the show once he turns on Walt afterward for his money.]] |
| 22 | ---- |
| 23 | * AffablyEvil: When he's not working as a hitman, Jack is surprisingly friendly and charming with a strong [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture Doc Brown]] vibe for a neo-nazi. He also possesses a true sense of honor and conviction in his ideals of sincerity. |
| 24 | * AffectionateGestureToTheHead: He gives his nephew Todd a playful noogie while lightly teasing him about Lydia. |
| 25 | * AintTooProudToBeg: Downplayed. [[spoiler:In the finale, he feebly tries to cut Walt a deal to spare his life, but he doesn't outright beg or lose his composure, instead looking smug as he takes OneLastSmoke.]] |
| 26 | * AmbitionIsEvil: Averted, unlike other villains like Gus and Walt. Despite being a Neo-Nazi, he demonstrates to have no higher interests than having enough money to live comfortably and helping out his nephew. |
| 27 | * ArchEnemy: Becomes this to Heisenberg in the second half of Season 5. While Gustavo Fring may have been his rival in the methmaking business, Jack earns Walt's ire personally by murdering his brother-in-law in cold blood right in front of him, which indirectly but irrevocably destroys Walter's family for good. It's no wonder that Heisenberg's LastStand consists of him concocting a plan to kill him and snuff out the rest of the Aryan Brotherhood alongside him. |
| 28 | * ArcVillain: For the second half of Season 5, which centers around him [[spoiler:taking over Heisenberg's empire.]] |
| 29 | * AssholeVictim: He organized the brutal murders of 10 people in prison, killed [[spoiler:Hank and Gomez, stole almost all of Walt's money (albeit leaving him $10 million), imprisoned and tortured Jesse for half a year, and killed Andrea and threatened to kill Brock as well if Jesse stopped cooking]]. Simply put, nobody sheds a tear for Uncle Jack when [[spoiler:Walt blows his brains out.]] |
| 30 | * BadassLongcoat: One of his main wardrobe pieces is a big leather coat, and Jack isn't afraid to do his own dirty work. |
| 31 | * BaitAndSwitch: At first when he listens to Jesse's recording about how Todd killed a child it seems like he is shaken and angered by it. He is actually upset that Jesse ratted out his nephew and would have killed him on the spot if Todd hadn't talked him out of it. |
| 32 | * BeardOfEvil: He has a thin circle beard, and is a homicidal Neo-Nazi. |
| 33 | * BerserkButton: Has no love for stool pigeons. He also does not like being called a liar. [[spoiler:Trying to prove the latter leads to his whole gang getting killed.]] |
| 34 | * BigBad: The last one in the series when he [[spoiler:murders Hank and takes over the Blue Sky business]], and is the last antagonist killed onscreen who wants to continue the business. |
| 35 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Downplayed. Jack's sister was a hopeless drug addict and went through many abusive relationships with terrible men, a lot of whom Jack killed in retaliation. Eventually, he grew fed up with looking out for her and seemingly gave up on her while taking Todd out of her hands. |
| 36 | * BodyguardBetrayal: Jack turns on Walt after figuring out where Walt has hidden his money and that there is nothing Walt could do to stop his crew from taking it for themselves--he and his Aryan crew have all the guns, after all. |
| 37 | * BoringButPractical: No advanced science like making ricin or explosives, no border-crossing hitmen with axes, and no long-planned revenge with meth empire as a decoy. Jack just plans on schedule with a well-trained team and does the job. |
| 38 | * BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:How Walt kills him, long after he did the same thing to Hank.]] |
| 39 | * ChekhovsGunman: Originally, he was just name-dropped by Todd. He grew massively in importance as the show drew closer to its conclusion, [[spoiler:eventually ending up as the final BigBad.]] |
| 40 | * CoolUncle: To Todd. They get along very well considering what kind of people they are. |
| 41 | * CopKiller: [[spoiler:His gang killed Gomez and Jack personally finished Hank off.]] |
| 42 | * TheCorrupter: Michael Bowen more or less describes him as this for Todd. |
| 43 | --> "Well, you know, it’s within his universe. After studying the Aryan gangs and stuff like that, they’re such a small fraction of the population in the prison system, yet they commit like a quarter of all of the most vile, gruesome murders in the system. They have to do that because they are such a small group. They have to become so frightening that you don’t mess with them. [Jack] knows to get into a gang like that, you must spill blood. And the only way you get out is if you are killed. So that’s the reality he probably told and showed Todd." |
| 44 | * DeadpanSnarker: He has a pretty dry sense of humor. |
| 45 | -->'''Jack:''' You know, I gotta be straight with you, man. Taking out all these guys is doable. But hitting them in three separate jails all within two minutes? Whacking Bin Laden wasn't this complicated.\ |
| 46 | '''Jack:''' ''(on the topic of Walt wanting to kill Jesse quickly)'' Angry, non-rat, got it. How angry are we talking, by the way? Like Hulk angry? Like, uh...Rambo, James Bond, badass individual?\ |
| 47 | '''Jack:''' Let me worry about what I breathe, kid. Just hurry this up so I can grab a smoke.\ |
| 48 | '''Lydia:''' I am correct in assuming this should be blue?\ |
| 49 | '''Jack:''' See, I'm thinking the headline here should be "76%."\ |
| 50 | '''Kenny:''' Where do you want [me to kill [[spoiler:Walt]]]?\ |
| 51 | '''Jack:''' [[AskAStupidQuestion Oh, I dunno, anywhere not my living room?]] Take him out back. |
| 52 | * DealWithTheDevil: Walt makes one with him. The arrangement: [[spoiler:to leave town with his money and keep Jack's murder of Hank under wraps]]. |
| 53 | -->"We square? Hey, I gotta know we're square, otherwise we've gotta [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse go the other way]]." |
| 54 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: Played with. In the context of the main series, he's the [[FinalBoss final threat]] of Walter's story, but is this from Jesse's perspective, whose story properly concludes in ''Film/ElCamino''. |
| 55 | * DragonInChief: While he technically works as a hitman for Lydia, his gang is the only reason she has a meth business, and Walt [[spoiler:ultimately sees him as the larger threat and focuses his entire plan on vengeance against Jack, only eliminating Lydia as a means of tying up loose ends.]] |
| 56 | * TheDreaded: Implied. After Todd kills Drew Sharp and the heist team discusses what to do with him, Mike votes against killing Todd by citing his gang connections as being no joke. Considering that Mike shows absolutely zero fear when having to deal with other criminals in his way, the fact that Jack is capable of making him blink speaks ''volumes'' for how dangerous he is. |
| 57 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: For all of Jack's negative qualities, he does seem to genuinely love his nephew Todd as if he were his own son. This is the reason [[spoiler:why he keeps the meth business alive: despite believing that he and his gang will never need to make any more drug money, he wants to help Todd impress Lydia.]] Their actors even came up with a backstory for the two of them, in which Jack took in Todd from his sister for his own protection after she kept bringing too many abusive boyfriends home. |
| 58 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 59 | ** While he's not above killing or enslaving someone, Jack openly expresses disdain for the type of savagery criminals like Gustavo Fring or the Salamancas engage in. [[spoiler:When he's put into the same situation with Hank as Marco, he quickly shoots him down on the spot, not [[BondVillainStupidity run back to his car to find an exotic weapon to ritualistically kill him with]].]] Additionally, when Walt [[spoiler:orders a hit on Jesse]], Jack says he respects the order to make it quick and painless, saying that there are too many "savages" out there. |
| 60 | ** He takes offense to Walt calling him a liar at one point. |
| 61 | ** He absolutely ''despises'' snitches, which is why he got so mad when Jesse told Hank about Todd killing Drew Sharp... [[MoralMyopia while also completely ignoring the fact that his nephew is an unrepentant child killer]]. |
| 62 | ** He finds {{Greed}} unattractive. [[spoiler:He gives away $10 million to Walt as a consolation prize, and isn't on board with the idea of continuing to cook meth. It's his love for Todd that keeps the partnership with Lydia alive, not greed.]] |
| 63 | --->'''Todd:''' We still got 600 gallons of methylamine.\ |
| 64 | '''Jack:''' Meth? Who gives a shit about meth? We won the lottery here. We’ve got all the money in the world. You’re talking to me about selling crank? |
| 65 | ** When Kenny [[spoiler: decides to execute Walt]], Jack is appalled at the idea of it happening in his living room. |
| 66 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Well, more like "evil cannot comprehend [[ALighterShadeOfBlack lesser evil]]", but he genuinely seems to think that [[spoiler:he can convince Walter to spare him by blackmailing him with the location of the missing money, despite their last interaction being Jack murdering Walt's brother-in-law as Walt was sobbing and begging him not to. Predictably, Walt doesn't even bother [[KilledMidSentence to let Jack finish]] the offer.]] |
| 67 | * EvilCounterpart: Weirdly enough, Uncle Jack is kinda like Hank, despite both of them being on opposite sides of the drug war: |
| 68 | ** Both men are crude and politically incorrect individuals with a borderline irrational disdain for a certain group of people (junkies in Hank's case, cops in Jack's) and who can be underestimated due to their joker demeanor, but in actuality, they're highly intelligent and cunning. Despite this, Hank mostly does most of his dirty work himself, while Jack often has his nephew and his men pull off the more complicated hits. |
| 69 | ** They also both happen to be role models to their respective nephews, [[spoiler:though [[TheSociopath Todd]] seems to get over Jack's demise much quicker than [[BreakTheCutie Walt Jr]]'s with Hank's]]. |
| 70 | ** Jack mocking Jesse's tearful confession video after his enslavement is also a dark mirror to Hank's laughing at Gale's silly music video after his death. |
| 71 | ** The both of them also became targets of a [[spoiler:third party's RoaringRampageOfRevenge after killing a close family member of said party; though Hank managed to fight back and defeat his attackers through his attention to detail, while Jack was killed by his attacker after [[FailedASpotCheck failing to notice a red flag]]]]. |
| 72 | ** They both also start off [[spoiler:on good terms with Walt, before turning against him while still respecting his achievements, and have a strong dislike for Jesse, whom they harm both directly and indirectly.]] |
| 73 | ** [[spoiler: Their deaths are even similar; both are shot in the head after a short but effective shoot-out that wiped out their backup (Jack's gang; Gomez) and injured them badly. However, Hank was mourned worldwide (especially by Walt), while nobody in-universe mourned for Jack, with Walt killing him as he tried to cut a deal with him]]. |
| 74 | ** The difference between the two, however, can be examined in how they [[spoiler: react to death around them; While usually not blinking an eye to seeing dead gangbangers, Hank has a panic attack after killing Tuco, and develops crippling PTSD after witnessing the taskforce bombing. Jack, being an unrepentant ProfessionalKiller, has no remorse over killing or enslaving people when he's told to. Despite this, the way they face their deaths contrasts this, as Hank accepts his demise and refuses to beg for his life, while Jack attempts to bargain for his.]] |
| 75 | * EvilerThanThou: [[spoiler:Jack takes over as BigBad by killing Hank against Walter's orders and stealing nearly his entire fortune.]] |
| 76 | * EvilVirtues: Well, he ''did'' let Walt walk off with $10 million. It's hard to see Walt ever doing that if their roles were swapped. He also seems to despise the very ''thought'' of anyone thinking that he's gone back on a deal. [[spoiler:The latter causes him, and the rest of the Aryans in his gang, to be mowed down with an M60 rigged to the trunk of Walt's car.]] |
| 77 | -->"Jesus, what's with all the greed? It's unattractive." |
| 78 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:[[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. After his friends and nephew are all violently killed off, Jack merely [[DeathGlare glares]] at Walter and reaches for a cigarette despite being mortally wounded. Unlike Hank, however, Jack calmly makes a futile bargain for his life rather than telling Walt where to stick it.]] |
| 79 | * FalseReassurance: [[spoiler:When Walter returns outraged that Jack was working with Jesse, seemingly as partners, Jack made it a point to show Walt that he was wrong and demonstrated Jesse as his slave.]] |
| 80 | * FatalFlaw: Jack's hatred of snitches/rats. [[spoiler: It gets him killed. When Walt came to the clubhouse, Jack and his gang were already planning to kill him. But just Walt saying that they were partnering with Jesse - a rat in Jacks's eyes, who he promised Walt he would kill later - was enough to keep Walt alive and show him that Jesse is a slave rather than a partner. This allowed Walt enough time to get his keys back and later trigger the M60 in his trunk outside.]] |
| 81 | * FinalBoss: The final major antagonist of the original series, and easily the most threatening one next to Gus. |
| 82 | * {{Foil}}: To his nephew Todd; both are unrepentant killers and psychopaths who have a "no witnesses" mentality, but Todd is a genuinely polite, soft-spoken, and naïve young boy who has a very twisted understanding of morality, while Jack is a GrumpyOldMan who swears a lot and has a tighter sense of pragmatism than his unassuming nephew. Because of this, [[spoiler: Todd continues to try and be friends with Jesse even after enslaving him and killing his girlfriend, which gets him killed, while Jack immediately cuts ties with Walt after killing his brother-in-law and stealing his money, and tries to execute him the moment he sees him again, which ''still'' gets him killed]]. |
| 83 | * TheGhost: Surprisingly makes no appearances at all in ''El Camino'' despite being referred to infrequently. |
| 84 | * GrumpyOldMan: Complains about the state of America, citing the absence of ashtrays on airplanes as an example of the country's decay. |
| 85 | * HateSink: Not quite this initially, especially with his virtues and affability, but he becomes this full-stop after [[spoiler: killing Hank and enslaving Jesse.]] |
| 86 | * HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler: He kills Hank despite Walt's pleas since letting him live guarantees that Jack and his gang would be hunted down by the feds for murdering Gomez and saving Walt from arrest.]] |
| 87 | * HellbentForLeather: He often wears a long, shifty-looking leather duster. |
| 88 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler: No other villain in the series can say they have killed Hank Schrader. He may have killed Gomez as well, although one of his men might have done that. On top of that, Walt incidentally kills himself while taking him down]]. |
| 89 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Walt kills Jack by shooting him in the head with his own pistol.]] |
| 90 | * HonorBeforeReason: [[spoiler:His absolute hate for snitches plays a part in his downfall - if he just executed Walt without absolutely needing to prove to him that he's not partnered up with Jesse, he probably wouldn't have died.]] |
| 91 | * ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: While he's technically a hitman working for Lydia, as Walt is concerned Jack has Walt's complete enmity and focuses on getting his revenge solely on Jack, while only bothering to kill Lydia to tie up loose ends. |
| 92 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:He dies in a reversal of the way he killed Hank. He shot Hank in the head mid-sentence as Walt pleaded for Hank's life and offered Jack all his money to spare him. Walt shoots Jack in the head mid-sentence as Jack tries to use Walt's money that he still has to convince him to spare him.]] |
| 93 | * KickTheDog: After [[spoiler:having Todd kill Andrea]] in front of Jesse as punishment for trying to escape the compound, Jack makes it worse by [[spoiler:[[WouldHurtAChild promising to kill Brock too]]]] if he tries again. |
| 94 | --> '''Jack:''' Hey, remember. [[spoiler:There's still the kid.]] |
| 95 | ** There's also his PassThePopcorn attitude when watching Jesse's confession, "Does this pussy cry through the entire thing?". |
| 96 | * KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:[[{{Foil}} Just like]] Hank.]] |
| 97 | * LackOfEmpathy: When watching Jesse's confession video, it initially looks like he's disturbed by the idea that Todd so effortlessly killed a child. It turns out he was actually furious that Jesse ratted his nephew out. |
| 98 | * MeaningfulName: "Jack" is slang for "hijack". [[spoiler:Which is exactly what he ultimately does to Walt.]] |
| 99 | * MeetTheNewBoss: [[spoiler:Quietly claims the blue meth lab once Gus dies and Walt announces his retirement. The only thing he lacks is the recipe for Walt's blue coloring, which Walt promises in exchange for a contract on Jesse's life.]] |
| 100 | * MenDontCry: [[spoiler:While watching Jesse's confessions videotapes he and the rest of his gang spent most of their time calling him a wimp for crying.]] |
| 101 | * MoralMyopia: Jack expresses disdain for "savages", but he's also totally cool with torturing and enslaving Jesse, murdering Andrea with Jesse ForcedToWatch, and threatening to kill Brock as well in retaliation for an escape attempt. |
| 102 | * MirrorCharacter: To Hector Salamanca. They're both ruthless crime bosses who serve as the leader for their respective gangs, and they both raised their respective nephews into {{sociopath}}ic criminals while serving as their father figure. Also, paralleling how Hector killed Gus' partner and threatened to kill Mike's granddaughter, Jack [[spoiler:killed Walt's brother-in-law and threatened to kill Jesse's ex-girlfriend's son.]] The difference is that [[spoiler:Hector gets to go out on his own terms by taking his ArchEnemy Gus with him, while Jack dies begging for his life and being shot in the head by Walter.]] |
| 103 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler: It's his mercy in letting Walt keep 10 million of his dollars that ultimately seals his fate; had he taken all of it, Walt wouldn't have had the money to escape New Mexico, continue living for 6 months, and then eventually return and kill him]]. |
| 104 | * NiceToTheWaiter: Charming and polite to the waitress in "Confessions". |
| 105 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: He eschews Gus-style manipulations and the Salamancas' over-the-top violence in favor of shooting people up. What makes Jack so dangerous is his lack of hesitation and tendency to keep things relatively simple. |
| 106 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler: After killing Hank and going against his gang's whining, he gives Walt a barrel of ten million dollars as a sign of [[NobleDemon good faith]] and [[NothingPersonal no hard feelings.]] That money would ultimately finance his demise.]] |
| 107 | * NobleDemon: Jack may be ruthless and cruel, but he's never pointlessly evil. He understands Walt having problems putting a hit on Jesse and says he'll make it quick [[spoiler: until Todd convinces him to keep Jesse around]]. He is fine with retiring after having enough money, even leaving some to the one he stole because he isn't greedy and takes offense when people think he didn't keep his word. |
| 108 | * NothingPersonal: [[spoiler:After he murders Hank and steals Walt's money, he leaves a barrel of money for Walt and plays this trope straight.]] |
| 109 | * ObviouslyEvil: If the big swastika tattoo on his neck didn't clue you in, he is introduced as a top-of-the-line assassin that even Mike admitted to being wary of. |
| 110 | * OneLastSmoke: [[spoiler:While staring down the barrel of [[HoistByHisOwnPetard his own gun]], Jack pointedly pauses in the middle of his final words to grab a cigarette he dropped.]] |
| 111 | * OutsideGenreFoe: This is what truly makes Jack Welker so dangerous in the context of the narrative. In the world of ''Breaking Bad'', meth is king. Not for Jack though, he isn't concerned with becoming a drug lord or building a meth empire and he's not a druggie or some cartel enforcer. Jack is simply a Neo-Nazi mercenary whose first solution to every problem is to kill it; if anything, he'd be right at home as the villain of some gritty action movie. No one has any way to counter him because his firepower and resources are far outside the capabilities of the rest of the remaining characters, [[spoiler:including Hank and Gomez.]] If he encountered half the situations that Walter White did, he would've murdered them on the spot. Jack is so disconnected from the other conflicts in the show that [[spoiler: the moment Walter promises him 10 million dollars of unlaundered dirty money, he immediately gives up on the empire and just decides to cash it in.]] |
| 112 | * OpportunisticBastard: Jack might not be interested in meth, but he is interested in ''money''. He's quick to squeeze Walt for the blue meth formula [[spoiler:during negotiations for the hit on Jesse]] (claiming whatever lump sum Walt gave him would be a drop in the bucket compared to what he can make selling Blue Sky), [[spoiler:and eventually just steals $70 million of Walt's fortune after Walt, literally, gives him the exact coordinates.]] |
| 113 | * PapaWolf: A dark and villainous example. [[spoiler:Jack happily laughs at Jesse's tearful confession video until they get to the part where Jesse rats on Todd. Jack then angrily charges off to kill Jesse and forsake the millions they could earn off his higher quality meth for endangering Todd. Jack only relents on killing Jesse because Todd needs Jesse's meth to impress Lydia]]. |
| 114 | * ParentalSubstitute: [[http://www.vulture.com/2013/09/breaking-bad-uncle-jack-michael-bowen-interview.html According to Michael Bowen]], Jack serves as one of these to Todd. |
| 115 | * PetTheDog: [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes His treatment of Todd in general.]] Also, later in quite a twisted way, [[spoiler: he lets Walt have a whopping ten million despite robbing him of the rest of his money and murdering Hank. This is more than enough money to last normal people several lifetimes. Indeed, Walter would be able to secure his family financially with this money alone after distributing it to them. [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished This would also come to bite Jack in the ass]] as Walt also had enough money to finance a plot to kill him and Jack would have no leverage for Walter sparing his life.]] |
| 116 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Oddly enough this is downplayed: Jack is an open Neo-Nazi, but his political and racial views aren't really given any attention aside from some irritation at political correctness and his disdain for federal law enforcement. If it weren't for the swastikas and SS tattoos, there would be practically nothing in his behavior which reveals him as a Nazi sympathizer. TruthInTelevision, as the Aryan Brotherhood is now widely seen as more interested in money and power than promoting white nationalism. |
| 117 | * PragmaticVillainy: Jack is perfectly content exiting the meth game after getting enough money from it [[spoiler:as well as stealing from Walt]]. The only reason why he doesn't is because Todd hopes to impress Lydia by replicating Walt’s formula. |
| 118 | * {{Pride}}: Something he has in common with Walt - Jack is a proud man who holds true to his own values and doesn't like leaving a job unfinished. When [[spoiler:Walt insults him by claiming that he partnered up with Jesse, a snitch, Jack, angered by the accusation, insists on showing Jesse is alive and enslaved, which ultimately leads to his undoing]]. |
| 119 | * ProfessionalKiller: He and his gang seem to work primarily as hitmen. |
| 120 | * {{Sadist}}: Downplayed. While he's not above being cruel in line with what comes with his occupation, Jack openly disdains savage cruelty and prefers to get his jobs done quickly and simply. His worst acts, such as [[spoiler: enslaving Jesse]], were at Todd's behest and he isn't seen participating in needlessly tormenting him like his goons. |
| 121 | * ShadowArchetype: In many ways, Jack is the ultimate personification of the kind of person Walt would be if he had allowed his Heisenberg persona to take ''complete control'' of his personality -- a ruthless, merciless, {{sociopath}}ic man ready to retire with a multi-million dollar profit. |
| 122 | * SlidingScaleOfVillainThreat: An {{Inversion}}. He is definitely lower on the villain totem pole than Gus Fring or the Juarez Cartel, and at best is probably on the level of the Salamanca family who have been around since Season 1. He isn't anywhere near as ambitious as the other villains either (including Walt), being content to outright retire if he gets enough cash. Yet, he proves to be the final villain of the show, making up for his lack of scope and influence with sheer ruthlessness and the personal impact he has on the main characters. |
| 123 | * TheSociopath: A cold-blooded murderer who [[FauxAffablyEvil displays politeness]] whenever he has to and is just as {{pride}}ful as Walt. Even Michael Bowen describes him and Todd as "just a couple of sociopaths". |
| 124 | * SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:To the Hank and Jesse alliance. If he and his gang hadn't intervened, then Hank would still be alive, Walt would have been apprehended, and Jesse wouldn't have been forced into servitude.]] |
| 125 | * TheStarscream: [[spoiler: He deposes Walter and completely takes over his empire as the new leader.]] |
| 126 | * TheStrategist: [[spoiler:He was able to successfully arrange the simultaneous murders of 11 different men, each in a different jail, for a specific time. Notably, Walt only gave the order. He left the details to Jack.]] |
| 127 | * TattooedCrook: He's seen with some gang tattoos, including a giant swastika on his neck. |
| 128 | * TensionCuttingLaughter: [[spoiler:When Todd tries to convince him to keep Jesse alive, Jack gives him an intimidating DeathGlare and nobody's quite sure what he's going to do... until he breaks out in laughter upon realizing Todd has a crush on Lydia.]] |
| 129 | * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler: When he gets the call from Walt in "To'hajille", he drives to his location with 5 other crew members armed to the teeth with shotguns, assualt rifles and pistols. Given that they were unaware of Hank and Gomez's presense beforehand, it becomes apparant that [[DisproportionateRetribution all of this was meant for Jesse and Jesse alone]].]] |
| 130 | * ThoseWackyNazis: He's the leader of a white-supremacist gang with connections to the Aryan Brotherhood. |
| 131 | * VillainBall: [[spoiler:Jack gets steamrolled by it in "Felina", delaying Walt's execution when the latter accuses him of partnering with a DEA "rat".]] |
| 132 | * VillainousFriendship: With the rest of the Nazis, especially Kenny. They're genuinely good friends. Even when they all have enough money to retire and go their separate way they still hang out together and help out Todd with his romance. |
| 133 | * VillainsNeverLie: Is incensed when Walt accuses him of lying about partnering with Jesse. |
| 134 | * VillainsOutShopping: Compared to his nephew, Jack is more laid back and can often be seen lounging around. For a whole weekend, he even left Jesse solely to Todd as he and the rest of his gang went to the Elephant Butte. |
| 135 | * VillainsWantMercy: [[spoiler:He tries to bargain for his life when Walt is about to shoot him. It doesn't work but at least Jack does not beg or lose his composure during the attempt.]] |
| 136 | * VilerNewVillain: Although not as intimidating or resourceful as Gus, he proves himself far more ruthless and despicable due to his casual willingness to kill children, lack of sympathetic reasons for his crimes, having no code of honour, [[spoiler:torturing and enslaving Jesse]], on top of being a Nazi. |
| 137 | * WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:Threatens to kill Brock if Jesse doesn't cook for them.]] |

| 151 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: In the original show, Todd's default personality is very awkward and shy, even though it hides a dangerous murderer. In the Colombian remake ''Metastasis'', he's far more confident and charming in conversation, even exchanging jokes with Andrea in order to get her out of her apartment. |
| 152 | * AffablyEvil: Todd is truly a polite, soft-spoken, slightly shy, and all-around hardworking guy. He never raises his voice or gets angry, he doesn't take things personally and does his best to get along well with everyone. He also has no qualms about doing things like killing innocent women and children. It gets even creepier when he turns Jesse into his meth slave. Although he threatens him with the lives of his loved ones, Todd still maintains a jovial demeanor around him, and even brings Pinkman ice cream as a reward for his services. Jesse Plemons describes Todd as feeling as if Pinkman is a pet. He's never rude to anyone, often trying ([[TheSociopath yet failing]]) to empathize with people, and seems to be convinced that he's [[FriendlyEnemy close friends with Jesse.]] Even after Walt shoots up his uncle's hideout, Todd is still polite enough to refer to him as "Mr. White." |
| 153 | * AffluentAscetic: It's not just a matter of laundering it either, Todd doesn't do much with the money gained from his work and while his apartment is fully well furnished and decorated, it's nothing particularly extravagant. |
| 154 | * ArchEnemy: To Jesse Pinkman. Jesse's ongoing downward spiral is exacerbated by Todd's remorselessness. It gets especially worse after Todd tortures him when he's kidnapped by Jack's gang for a ''year'' so he can continue making meth for them. And to further punish him, Jack has Todd kill Andrea right in front of Jesse's eyes. By the final episode Jesse relishes getting the chance to strangle him personally. |
| 155 | * AscendedExtra: In his first episode, he appears briefly and has a couple of lines. In his second episode, he helps the team out in a big way and commits an action that will no doubt have big ramifications in the next episode. Two episodes after that, he's Walt's new lab partner. |
| 156 | * AssholeVictim: Given his lack of remorse over the many horrible things he's done, it's hard to feel bad for him when Jesse strangles him to death. |
| 157 | * AxCrazy: Todd is a chilling example as he is not even particularly sadistic, but he is a stone-cold criminal prone to killing people, often for petty reasons. And worst of all? [[ObliviouslyEvil He genuinely doesn’t even seem to think it’s that big of a deal]]. Like when he kills a little boy for witnessing their train heist without thinking twice, and when he kills Andrea right after apologizing to her for having to do so. All of this without feeling any remorse or guilt and always staying calm and easy-going. |
| 158 | * BaitTheDog: We know he's a criminal from the start, but he comes off as a rather friendly guy, up until he shot a kid. Even after having murdered Drew Sharp, Todd lulls the audience into a false sense of security in "Granite State" by bringing an imprisoned Jesse some ice cream, then shortly afterward murdering Andrea. |
| 159 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: *boom* Surprise chest shot! This is from the amiable guy who rarely raises his voice... Arguably, he ''could'' count as a form of SoftspokenSadist, as it just goes downhill from there. Except, he never really seems to be in it ForTheEvulz (it's NothingPersonal) and... seldom drops being polite and non-shouty even while he's busy squicking the audience out. |
| 160 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Todd's moral compass is calibrated differently, to put it lightly. Todd is always a big people pleaser, childlike, and seems nice to everyone. Nonetheless, he shows zero remorse over killing a child, torturing and enslaving Jesse, and killing his girlfriend, yet he still thinks Jesse is his friend. This could be interpreted that Todd never fully understands how awful his actions truly are nor how they would cause people to hate him. |
| 161 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: Todd never has much of a reaction to the murders he commits or that happen around him. At the beginning of "Confessions", he cheerfully tells Jack and Kenny about how the train heist unfolded, but considers his killing of Drew unimportant and so doesn't mention it. |
| 162 | * CaptainOblivious: He doesn't realize that Jesse, the man he enslaved, treated like an animal, and whose girlfriend he killed, hates and despises him with every fiber of his being, and Jesse doesn't even try very hard to make a secret of this fact, constantly shooting absolutely withering {{Death Glare}}s in Todd's general direction, which he also completely fails to notice. In fact, it seems like it never even occurs to Todd that Jesse has plenty of very good and understandable reasons for hating him and wanting him dead; never once does he think of Jesse as anything other than a friend. |
| 163 | * ChandlersLaw: In "Dead Freight". |
| 164 | * ChekhovsGun: His uncle's prison connections, which he mentions in "Buyout", become awful handy for Walt two episodes later. |
| 165 | * CoDragons: With Kenny to Jack. |
| 166 | * CreepyMonotone: Todd usually speaks in a shy, reserved tone. |
| 167 | * CreepySouvenir: Kept the tarantula that was caught by Drew Sharp. In ''El Camino'', Jesse stumbles onto a terrarium in Todd's new bedroom with the same spider. Also, the various animated webtoons used to promote ''Better Call Saul'' identify Todd by having him bring it with him wherever he goes; ''WebAnimation/MadrigalElectromotiveSecurityTraining: Hiring Practices'' points it out in bold as the most obvious red flag as to Todd's untrustworthiness. |
| 168 | * CuteAndPsycho: He's a remorseless psychopathic killer, but his childlike qualities give Todd a cute factor. |
| 169 | * DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the AffablyEvil trope. Usually, AffablyEvil is used to make a villain more likable and to prove that he's not that bad. Todd is constantly polite and friendly to everyone when he's not casually murdering people, but this does ''not'' make him likable. He actually shows how an AffablyEvil person would come off in real life: extremely creepy, since it's disturbing to see a genuinely meek and polite guy like Todd being able to kill innocent people and even children without remorse. That's why he's considered one of the most hateable characters on the series (by contrast, manipulative FauxAffablyEvil Gustavo Fring is the most popular villain with his moments of being AffablyEvil). |
| 170 | * DiesWideOpen: As a result of being in the midst of fighting for his life when his neck broke. |
| 171 | * DissonantSerenity: He remains calm and personable at all times, whether he's having a friendly conversation with you, or putting a bullet in your skull. |
| 172 | * TheDragon: Is more or less Jack's second-in-command, but has also had brief stints working as a cook for Walt in place of Jesse and later acting as the Neo-Nazis' liaison to Lydia after "Ozymandias". |
| 173 | * EmbarrassingRingtone: Todd's cellphone has a clip of [[Creator/TheMarxBrothers Groucho Marx]] singing "Lydia the Tattooed Lady" from ''At the Circus'' as his ringtone. |
| 174 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Todd is introduced in "Hazard Pay" as a mild-mannered hire of Mike's who's a bit eager to please his new employers. Then out of nowhere, his unhesitant murder of a young boy at the end of "Dead Freight" exhibits him as a stone-cold killer who will prove to be a problem. |
| 175 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 176 | ** This may just be due to his admiration of Walter, but he talks Lydia out of killing Skyler. |
| 177 | ** He visibly disapproves of Kenny and Neil's pointless abuse of Jesse in captivity. |
| 178 | ** He seemed to like his cleaning lady and is genuinely upset that he had to kill her. Of course, he still doesn't see anything wrong with it, but he's genuinely offended when Jesse asks if she was stealing his money, saying that she was an honest and hard-working lady. |
| 179 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Doesn't seem to understand why Walter White would kill off the Aryan Brotherhood, or why Jesse would be upset about the things he has done. |
| 180 | * EvilCounterpart: To Jesse; see {{Foil}} for more details. IGN went as far as to say "if Jesse is Walter White's son, then Todd is the direct offspring of Heisenberg". [[http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/breaking-bad-tohajiilee-102110 AV Club]] describes him thusly: "Todd is [[TheApprentice Jesse]] [[PsychopathicManchild with no loyalty]], [[NumberTwo Gale]] [[LackOfEmpathy with no aesthetics]], [[EvenEvilHasStandards Mike]] [[TheUnfettered with no code]]. He’s a tool who’s perfectly content with having no other identity than how others might want to use him." |
| 181 | * FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: He is handsome and soft-spoken -- and can kill an innocent child in a flicker of an eye. |
| 182 | * FatalFlaw: Todd's LackOfEmpathy is his. As such he never understands why people would hate him for remorselessly murdering innocent people and is always laidback whenever he tells them about it. This is what led Jesse to eventually kill him. |
| 183 | * {{Foil}}: To Jesse in many ways. |
| 184 | ** Both have a lot of respect for Walt and call him Mr. White, but Todd, unlike Jesse, has no problems being Walt's subordinate. |
| 185 | ** Todd shooting the child witness is also a stark contrast to Jesse's love of kids. |
| 186 | ** Contrast Jesse's initial appearance as a mere thug who later turns out to be much kinder than expected with Todd being introduced as a seemingly unassuming nice guy who later wouldn't hesitate to murder children and blow it off as "shit happens." |
| 187 | ** Jesse has little idea about criminal experiences but has a high amount of emotional intelligence; Todd is a sociopath who shows no remorse for his darkest actions but proves to be surprisingly cunning and clever when it comes to crime. |
| 188 | ** Todd also appears to be a good deal less competent at meth-cooking than Jesse, with the quality of meth being churned out sharply dropping as soon as Heisenberg retires, and Todd is left to cook alone, in contrast to Jesse who eventually becomes every bit as good at cooking as his mentor. |
| 189 | ** His relationship with his Uncle Jack is a dark mirror of Jesse and Walter's. Due to Todd being a sociopath and his Uncle Jack being a hardened criminal, their relationship does not collapse from the moral issues as Walter and Jesse do. Unlike Jesse who wanted to leave the meth business and generally proves not to care about money, Todd convinces his Uncle Jack to continue cooking even after they take most of Walter's millions. |
| 190 | * FreudianExcuse: Not that it justifies his actions or anything, but Todd's mother was a drug addict who had a revolving door of abusive boyfriends that her brother Jack was tired of murdering constantly, so he took him under his wing. Given [[ProfessionalKiller who]] [[CopKiller Jack]] [[ANaziByAnyOtherName is]] and [[WouldHitAGirl how]] [[WouldHurtAChild murderous]] Todd's upbringing was, it's not difficult to imagine that he followed the same steps of his uncle. |
| 191 | * FriendlyEnemy: Despite having killed a child right in front of Jesse, enslaves him later on, tortured him into compliance, and eventually killed his LoveInterest, Todd still thinks that Jesse is his friend, is always nice to him, and treats him far better than any of Jack's goons. Though this is clearly one-sided on Todd's part as Jesse utterly hates Todd and kills him once he has the opportunity. |
| 192 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Subverted, actually: Todd was never a 'nobody' despite working as a pest control worker. He was always a ruthless killer with a Nazi power base backing him. |
| 193 | * TheHeavy: For Season 5. Todd is the instigator for much of the conflict in that whole season, which includes his murder of Drew Sharp causing Jesse to leave Walter White, and he later convinces his uncle Jack to use Jesse as a slave to make meth, setting up the final act in the series. |
| 194 | * HeroWorshipper: Seems to have a bit going on for Walt. Even in "Felina", Todd apologizes to Walt before stating that Jack and his white supremacist gang have no use for him anymore and that he shouldn't have arrived at Jack and his gang's compound. |
| 195 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: In a way. He ends up strangled to death by the very chains he forced Jesse to wear for 6 months. Also, he was the one who convinced Jack to keep Jesse around to keep making meth, ([[{{Greed}} "No matter how much money ya got, how could you turn your back on more?"]]) which eventually led to his demise. |
| 196 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: How he rationalizes killing Drew Sharp. |
| 197 | * IHaveYourWife: Todd's ground rule with Jesse is that if he tries anything during his imprisonment they are gonna find and kill Brock, Todd even says it'll be out of his hands. |
| 198 | * IgnoredEnamoredUnderling: He willingly serves as Lydia's cook despite having more than enough money to spend in his lifetime because he has a crush on her. Lydia isn't interested enough to notice. |
| 199 | * ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: Jack's the leader of the Neo-Nazis, but Jesse's true emnity is with Todd, who personally enslaved him and murdered Andrea. |
| 200 | * JustFollowingOrders: The main basis of his rationalization for killing Drew Sharp; the train heist ''did'' have a "no witnesses" rule. |
| 201 | * KarmicDeath: He ends up being strangled by Jesse, the man whom he enslaved and whose former girlfriend he murdered in front of him, with the very chains he used to enslave him. There's also the fact that Todd, a very [[NothingPersonal impersonal]] criminal, ends up getting killed by someone who [[ItsPersonal has every reason to loathe him]] due to his actions. |
| 202 | ** In the sequel movie ''Film/ElCamino'', a flashback to Season 5 reveals that Todd killed his innocent housekeeper after she found his hidden drug money by strangling her with his belt. Thus, Jesse's strangulation of Todd is doubly karmic. |
| 203 | * KilledMidSentence: "Mr. White..." |
| 204 | * KnightOfCerebus: After he shoots a child in the chest to LeaveNoWitnesses in "Dead Freight", he single-handedly extinguishes any lighthearted feeling the show still had left. |
| 205 | * LackOfEmpathy: He has what can only be described as a sociopathic disregard for how any of his actions might affect other people; he just does them because he sees them as necessary or because they are a means to an end, and to him, that is all that really matters. It is implied that the main reason he tortures and enslaves Jesse, as well as kills Andrea, is because of a crush he has on Lydia rather than the money. It could be a case of LoveMakesYouEvil, but it is very likely that Todd simply sees no reason not to do these things. The only one he shows any real emotion to is his Uncle Jack, whom he sees as a father figure, and even then he barely reacts when Heisenberg murders the guy right in front of him. |
| 206 | ** In "Buyout", he dismisses killing a 14-year-old as "shit happens". |
| 207 | ** Later, before disposing of Mike's body: |
| 208 | --->'''Walt:''' I don't wanna talk about this.\ |
| 209 | '''Todd:''' ''(rather nonchalantly)'' Okay.\ |
| 210 | '''Walt:''' ''(trying to assure Todd)'' It had to be done.\ |
| 211 | '''Todd:''' Okay. |
| 212 | * LeaveNoWitnesses: His reasoning for shooting a young boy in the chest without hesitation. Also, when the housekeeper he hires found out about his money stash. |
| 213 | * LiteralMinded: The explanation he gives for why he killed Drew is that Walt told him that there could be no witnesses; Drew was a witness, so he had to die, it was as simple as that. Of course, while Walt doesn't particularly care, he probably didn't mean for Todd to execute anyone who happened to see it, especially a child who had no idea what he witnessed. |
| 214 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: Granted, Todd had already murdered a child before and had white supremacist connections, but after becoming attracted to Lydia, he's become even more ruthless. Even though he's basically a millionaire at this point, he still tortures Jesse, enslaves him, and then kills Andrea when Pinkman tries to escape, simply because Todd wants his meth to be of sufficient enough quality for him to get closer to Lydia. |
| 215 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 216 | ** His name is homophonous with the German word for "death"; given his role in the story, this is entirely appropriate. |
| 217 | ** His surname is Swedish, and means "alder branch". Alder can also mean "blood", as its sap is red and resembles blood. So it can also be interpreted as "bloodshed". |
| 218 | * MellowFellow: An easygoing guy who never raises his voice or gets angry. Despite that, you can tell there's something disturbing about him, mainly his LackOfEmpathy. |
| 219 | * MoralSociopathy: Todd does have "morals" in that he believes in hard work, pleasing people, and being friendly to everyone. He's also completely remorseless in his actions, which include murdering innocent people including children, and torturing Jesse into submission yet still tries to be friendly with him. |
| 220 | * MirrorCharacter: To Tuco Salamanca. Both are [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] career criminals who were mentored by their uncles and ended up crossing paths with Walt - Tuco at the beginning of his career and Todd at the height of Heisenberg's power. Tuco was [[AxCrazy violently unstable]] and always on the verge of killing Walt and Jesse over some imagined slight; Todd is [[AffablyEvil mild-mannered]] and loyal to Walt to the point that he convinces Jack to leave $11 million for him after Hank's death. Tuco died at the hands of Hank, a man he barely knew but tried to kill anyway; Todd dies at the hands of Jesse, a man he deeply harmed yet [[CaptainOblivious had no idea hated him]]. |
| 221 | * NeckSnap: Gets his neck broken after Jesse strangles him [[WithMyHandsTied with his handcuffs]]. |
| 222 | * NervesOfSteel: When Jesse threatens to kill Todd in the desert after seizing his pistol, Todd talks Jesse out of it with only the slightest nervousness. [[PetTheDog He makes no attempt to ever exact retribution against him for this afterward either.]] |
| 223 | * NothingPersonal: His outlook on the criminal life. To him, stuff like committing murder is about as much a chore or minor inconvenience as going shopping for milk is to the average person, and it neither causes him any dissatisfaction nor any enjoyment. The way he sees it, "shit just happens", and the horrible things he personally does, especially to Jesse, aren't even out of anger or malice, but simply because it was convenient for him to do those things. He even says this to Andrea right before he shoots her in the back of the head. |
| 224 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: In his first appearance, he looks like just another regular criminal who does dirty jobs for some money. This is quickly thrown out of the window when he coldly shoots a child for coming across the train heist in "Dead Freight", just to make sure he doesn't leave any witnesses alive (who probably didn't even have a single idea what he's seeing). It only gets worse from then on. |
| 225 | * NotSoStoic: During Felina, the look on his face was one of surprise and shock after Walt uses his M60 contraption to kill Jack and the Aryan Brotherhood. He also shows the closest thing to actual terror when Jesse is actively choking him to death in revenge. |
| 226 | * ObliviouslyEvil: Todd literally has no idea how atrocious his actions truly are nor why people would be upset with them, allowing Todd to continue committing with utter obliviousness. |
| 227 | * OhCrap: His reaction to the M60 Shootout. |
| 228 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He feels strongly enough about letting Skyler live that he refuses to kill her even when Lydia asks him directly to kill her, even though he loves her enough that he was willing to enslave a man he genuinely considers a friend. |
| 229 | * PetTheDog: |
| 230 | ** In the most twisted, sickest way possible. Even after enslaving Jesse and forcing him to be his meth cook under the threat of murdering everyone he cares about, he's friendly and courteous to him, even bringing him ice cream. Todd is so twisted he doesn't seem to think there's anything ''wrong'' with locking Jesse up and forcing him to toil in the gang's drug laboratory against his will, or why that should stop them from being friends. There's also no indication that he ever went out of his way to torment Jesse (unlike Neil and Kenny) or that he ever enforced any kind of retribution against him for threatening him in the desert. |
| 231 | ** As ''horrifically'' fucked up as it is, when he notices that Jesse is not doing well in the desert, he tries to encourage him to feel better. Of course, his principle failing is that he doesn't realize that he's caused all of Jesse's problems. |
| 232 | ** His respect for Walt is completely sincere. He talks Jack out of killing him and convinces him to leave 10 million dollars for Mr. White. |
| 233 | ** Even though his go-to response to any potential witness is murder, Todd merely intimidates Skyler, partly out of respect for Walt and partly because she clearly has no interest in ever telling anyone anything about them. Lydia asking him to kill her is the one time he ever refuses her requests. |
| 234 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Seemingly averted; despite being a more-or-less part of a Neo-Nazi gang, he doesn't even wear any white supremacist symbols, unlike his accomplices. He doesn't even make any racist remarks about killing Andrea (who happens to be Hispanic), only doing so because his uncle wanted to punish Jesse's disobedience. He is genuinely offended when Jesse suggests his Hispanic housekeeper tried stealing his money, saying that she was a hardworking and honest lady. He just killed her because felt he had to after she found where his money was. |
| 235 | * PsychopathicManchild: Todd is a shy, reserved guy and his crush on Lydia seems like a child getting his first crush on his elementary school teacher. At the same time, he's a ruthless killer. His bedroom in ''Film/ElCamino'' further proves this point, full of toys appropriate for much younger children. The rest of his apartment also has some questionable choices in furniture and colors. There's also a bit when he passes a truck and gestures for the guy to honk his horn like a child would. |
| 236 | * PsychoticSmirk: While listening to Jesse recount his murder of Drew Sharp. |
| 237 | * PunchClockVillain: While he's an amoral psycho who will execute women and children without blinking, he simply views everything he does as part of the job. There's [[NothingPersonal no malice behind his villainy]], he never commits pointless crimes just for the sake of it, is very soft-spoken, [[AffablyEvil genuinely polite]], eager to please, and conscientious. |
| 238 | * ReplacementGoldfish: He becomes one for Walt after Jesse bails out of the meth business. It even seems that he tries to mirror some of his characterization, but it falls flat. |
| 239 | * SayingTooMuch: [[InsistentTerminology Constantly refers to Walter as Mr. White, even to people who'd otherwise know him only as Heisenberg.]] |
| 240 | * TheSociopath: PlayedWith. While Todd has been called such and has no problems murdering innocent people and commits other acts of sociopathy, he's just too emotionally crippled to ever realize how atrocious his actions truly are. ''Film/ElCamino'' has properly the best example of this: in the aftermath of Todd killing Andrea, Jesse, having been ForcedToWatch the murder, is having a mental breakdown, but while Todd realizes that Jesse is upset and clearly doesn't like that he is upset, he also fails to understand ''why'' Jesse is upset, and so very ineptly attempts to comfort him by mumbling some vaguely inspirational advice to him, completely oblivious to the fact that it was his murder of Andrea that devastated Jesse all the while. This could be a result of having been raised by criminals all his life and thus Todd couldn't have developed a proper moral compass. As a result, Todd literally can't understand the amorality of his actions where a true sociopath can but doesn't care. |
| 241 | * SoftSpokenSadist: He never raises his voice and always speaks in a meek manner with a childlike innocence to his tone, even when committing some of the most brutal atrocities in the show. Although the "sadist" part is [[AvertedTrope averted]] as he does what he does out of a misplaced sense of necessity, not for kicks. |
| 242 | * StalkerWithACrush: Very, very strong whiffs of this towards a rather unreciprocating Lydia. And, considering who he is? Just as well he never got a chance to ratchet it up. |
| 243 | * TheStoic: Todd usually remains very calm and laid back, no matter what the circumstances. |
| 244 | * TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: The straightest example in the show. Todd looks and acts like an unremarkable, even boring guy... right up until he shoots a child witness in cold blood. "Shit happens." |
| 245 | * TokenGoodTeammate: Downplayed as he is by no means a good person as shown by his killing of Drew Sharp, but he seems to be this to the rest of the Neo-Nazis and Lydia as he doesn’t seem to be a racist, treats Jesse at least with some kindness as his prisoner, and disapproves of the pointless abuse of Jesse by Neil and Kenny. He also talks Jack out of killing Walt and Lydia out of killing Skyler. |
| 246 | * TooDumbToLive: |
| 247 | ** Despite all the torture Jack's gang puts Jesse through, Todd legitimately sees him as something of a friend and cannot comprehend why Jesse would hate him. Because of this, he frequently lets Jesse do mostly as he pleases under a degree of his supervision. |
| 248 | ** Throughout a whole day of corpse disposal, Todd lets Jesse walk around freely and assist him as if he were a buddy. He even leaves his ''pistol'' within Jesse's reach, something that nearly killed him that day, although Todd is able to talk him down with a ComicallySmallBribe of pizza and beer. It is only because Jesse, at that moment, is so utterly broken and desperate for something decent to eat and drink that it ends up working. |
| 249 | ** Much later, the thought Jesse would seize the opportunity to murder him during Walt's massacre doesn't remotely cross Todd's mind. This finally does him in. |
| 250 | * TheUnfettered: Nothing fetters him. He wants to make meth and woo Lydia and nothing else matters. |
| 251 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Todd killing Drew completely spirals everything for the entire cast for the rest of the show; among other things, it directly leads to Mike's death, Jesse and Walt's relationship fracturing, the showdown with the DEA in the desert, and eventually the complete annihilation of Todd's entire gang. |
| 252 | * VerbalTic: Consistently uses "good" as an adverb, whereas a more educated character would say "well," e.g. "We work together good." |
| 253 | * VillainousLegacy: Not only is Jesse still undergoing trauma from Todd's enslavement of him in ''Film/ElCamino'', but it's revealed in a flashback that Todd hid his share of Walt's money in an apartment that he bought. In the present, Jesse seeks the money in order to go into hiding and finally put his past as a criminal behind him, only to get into conflict with Neil and Casey, two crooks who were former associates of Todd and are also after his money. |
| 254 | * WalkingSpoiler: Todd's character plays such a huge role in the final season's developments that practically all of his tropes were once spoiler-tagged. |
| 255 | * WellDoneSonGuy: In a twisted way, Todd seems to only want approval. He wants to perfect the cook to make Walt proud and Lydia happy, and he wants the Aryan Brotherhood to be successful to impress Uncle Jack. He does not otherwise seem interested in money or power. |
| 256 | * WouldHitAGirl: Has no problem killing Andrea. Or Sonia. |
| 257 | * WouldHurtAChild: Would kill one, actually. |

| 266 | |
| 267 | A lieutenant in a White Supremacist Gang, answering to Jack. He helps Jack to arrange the murder of ten prison inmates on contract for Walt. |
| 268 | ---- |
| 269 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Him being a white supremacist pretty much makes him this by default when he's killed by an M60 Walt rigged in the back of his car.]] |
| 270 | * {{BFG}}: Uses an AA-12 shotgun. |
| 271 | * BlackComedy: [[spoiler:After he's killed, the chair that he's lying on continues to make him vibrate.]] |
| 272 | * CoDragons: With Todd to Jack. |
| 273 | * CoolUncle: To Todd. They may not be related but Kenny shows Todd the same support Jack does while having a playful relationship with him. |
| 274 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:He has more character than Frankie or Lester and is Jack's [[TheDragon dragon]] but he's gunned down by Walt's M60 trap with no fanfare.]] |
| 275 | * DumbMuscle: Says a lot of stupid shit and doesn't seem to be too particularly bright, even irritating Jack once. At one point he even bets a decent sum of money against Neil, a professional welder, over his legitimacy and obviously loses. |
| 276 | * {{Greed}}: He's the most overtly thrilled when he finds Walt's secret stash, and gets mad when Jack tells him to leave a barrel of 10 million dollars behind, even though they had seven others. |
| 277 | * HateSink: One of the most despicable of Jack's crew, Kenny lacks both [[NobleDemon his boss's twisted code of honor]] and Todd's [[NothingPersonal sense of utter detachment from his crimes]]. He's little more than a sadistic thug, exemplified by him pointlessly tormenting Jesse in captivity. |
| 278 | * ImperialStormTrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: [[spoiler:Seen in the shootout in "To'hajiilee", where he fires the first round of shots while using his gun's sights and still isn't shown hitting anything, with Hank surviving the (initial) shootout]]. |
| 279 | * MoreDakka: [[spoiler:When he and Jack kill Declan and his crew. And again later in the shootout at To'hajiilee, where he and his men manage to almost hit Walter several times despite his cop car being more than a few feet away from their targets.]] |
| 280 | * ObviouslyEvil: If the Nazi tattoos didn't clue you in, he's a lot more vulgar and rude than Jack. |
| 281 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Not only a white supremacist but also passionately opposed to the use of bike helmets. He sees them as PoliticalOvercorrectness, as opposed to basic safety and common sense. He is also the only one to reaffirm their stance as white supremacy when someone suggest recruiting other assassins inside as it means mixing blood with Mexican gangs. |
| 282 | * PornStache: His facial hair is... uh, let's say "specific". |
| 283 | * {{Sadist}}: Unlike Todd and even ''Jack'', he enjoys tormenting [[spoiler:Jesse while enslaving him, even forcing him to run around with a chain hooked to his back just to test its durability (and because he placed a bet with Neil)]]. |
| 284 | * TattooedCrook: Shares Jack's neck swastika. |
| 285 | * ThoseWackyNazis: Like the rest of Jack's crew. |
| 286 | * UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:Kenny dies in a still-working massage chair, which keeps lifting his body up and down.]] |
| 287 | * VillainousFriendship: With Jack; they seem to be genuine pals. They even go to the bathroom together and grump about the state of the world like a pair of high school girls. |
| 288 | * WouldHurtAChild: Implies he would enjoy beating up every kid he finds wearing a bicycle helmet, [[InsaneTrollLogic for their own good]]. |

| 317 | !!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/ScottMacArthur |
| 318 | !!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/ElCamino'' |
| 319 | |
| 320 | A corrupt welder who formerly worked with Jack's gang in the past and is now looking for Walt's missing money. He butts heads with Jesse more than once in ''El Camino''. |
| 321 | ---- |
| 322 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: When Jesse has no reservations about killing you, you know you deserve it.]] |
| 323 | * AxCrazy: [[spoiler: His response to Jesse asking for a measly sum of cash is to challenge him to a ''duel to the death'' and seems to be very bloodthirsty by the way he stares him down.]] Given his reasonably pragmatic personality presented before, this psychosis may be a result of being high on cocaine and alcohol at the time. |
| 324 | * BeardnessProtectionProgram: Inverted. In Jesse's flashback, he has a prominent beard and long hair. In the present, he's clean-shaven, with a shorter, more professional haircut. [[spoiler: Which makes him far more believable when he poses as a cop.]] |
| 325 | * BigBad: The closest thing that ''Film/ElCamino'' has to one. He is the main obstacle standing in the way of Jesse's freedom. |
| 326 | * TheBully: [[spoiler: It's revealed that he joined Kenny in physically abusing Jesse when he was in captivity.]] |
| 327 | ** This is also clear in his interactions with other characters too. Neil repeatedly cows a belligerent Casey into silence during his confrontation with Jesse, once just by slowly and deliberately invading his space. |
| 328 | * CardCarryingVillain: Neil never denies that he's anything but a deplorable criminal. In fact, he revels in it, and gleefully admits his role [[spoiler: in imprisoning Jesse.]] |
| 329 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Definitely the least impressive BigBad in the ''Breaking Bad'' franchise. He's not a drug lord, a federal agent, a gang leader, or even a hitman, he's simply an opportunistic petty crook who attempts to rob Jesse of his money. |
| 330 | * DeathGlare: Shoots a horrifying one at Casey when he [[BigBadWannabe threatens him]] and repeatedly interferes with his and Jesse's challenge. |
| 331 | * DuelToTheDeath: [[spoiler:He challenges Jesse to a Western-style pistol duel, and loses.]] |
| 332 | * DragonAscendant: With the death of his employer, Jack Welker, Neil takes Jack's place as the main antagonist. |
| 333 | * EvilCounterpart: Neil is the kind of person Jesse could have become if he had no remorse and chose to stay on his path as a petty criminal, driven by greed and ego. [[spoiler: He is killed by Jesse while in the middle of doing the same kinds of things Jesse would have done at the start of Breaking Bad: getting high, blowing his money on HookersAndBlow for him and his crew, and acting as if he were an old school outlaw]]. Also, they both have the same idea of [[spoiler: breaking into Todd's apartment to steal his money around the same time]] and they first meet, both are bearded with shaggy hair, but are each clean-cut when they cross paths again. |
| 334 | * {{Foil}}: To his associate Todd Alquist. Like Todd, Neil appears to be a normal, hardworking, all-American guy, but is actually a very ruthless and experienced criminal, who has no problem committing murder and played a part in Jesse's imprisonment. However, Todd is AffablyEvil and completely [[ObliviouslyEvil oblivious]] to how atrocious his acts are while Neil is a rude {{Jerkass}} whose perfectly aware of how bad he is, but doesn't care. |
| 335 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Possibly one for Jesse, though a less flashy example than usual. [[spoiler: It's revealed that he is essentially the real architect of Jesse's imprisonment. While Todd had the bright idea of chaining Jesse up in his meth lab, it was Neil who designed the chain and made it all but impossible to break free from. This might suggest that Kandy's Welding Company was also responsible for the construction of the cage Jesse was held in.]] |
| 336 | * {{Greed}}: Barely two days after news of Jack's gang getting taken out starts to spread, Neil goes searching for Todd's hidden stash of money. He ends up getting himself killed because his avarice is so deep that he's unwilling to part with even a single percent of the money he stole; had he just bought Jesse off with $1,800 of the hundreds of thousands of dollars he had stashed, he would have gotten away scot-free. |
| 337 | * HateSink: His approach to his job gives an appearance of an honest blue-collar worker. However, beneath that "honest" look lies an opportunistic, sadistic scumbag that delighted in physically and psychologically humiliating Jesse when the Neo-Nazis had him kidnapped and enslaved. And as if that wasn't enough, he certainly lacks any redeemable or entertaining trait that most of the previous villains in the franchise were best known for. |
| 338 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: The flashback reveals that Neil is a man who enjoys taking crazy bets. [[spoiler: This bites him in the ass in the end when he challenges Jesse to a duel, believing he can outmatch Jesse's .22 pistol with his .45, not realizing [[CrazyPrepared Jesse had a second gun trained on him the whole time.]]]] |
| 339 | * HonorAmongThieves: [[spoiler:Claims he will not kill Jesse if he shows him where Todd's money is hidden. He even lets Jesse take a good portion of the money he found at Todd's apartment. He does play with the idea of just shooting Jesse, but backs down out of pragmatism when Jesse points out the building is full of witnesses he would also have to kill if a gunshot suddenly filled the hallways.]] |
| 340 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He only lets Jesse take a third of Todd's money, and tells him 'not to get greedy.' When he encounters Jesse again later, instead of giving Jesse a paltry eighteen-hundred dollars to have him out of his life forever, he challenges him to a duel over Jesse's share. So Neil [[spoiler: literally gambled away his life]] out of nothing other than ego and sheer avarice. |
| 341 | * IdiotBall: He's a small-time criminal, but is normally clever and pragmatic in his criminal activities. However, when Jesse comes asking for a tiny additional cut from the money they split, ($1800 out of hundreds of thousands, an amount that even Neil himself admitted was ridiculously small) rather than buy Jesse off he gives in to greed and challenges Jesse to a QuickDraw [[DuelToTheDeath duel]] for all of the remaining cash instead. It goes poorly for Neil. |
| 342 | * ImpersonatingAnOfficer: [[spoiler:He and Casey pretend to be police detectives when they break into Todd's apartment looking for Walt's money. Their ruse fools Jesse until he realizes that they don't have handcuffs.]] |
| 343 | * ItsPersonal: Averted. He doesn't even question Jesse's escape from the Nazi compound, nor does the thought of Jack's gang being massacred cross his mind in any way other [[OpportunisticBastard than how he can get rich.]] |
| 344 | * {{Jerkass}}: Aside from being a welder and cleverish, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot to him. He's just a wrongun, that's it. |
| 345 | * LackOfEmpathy: Was not the least bit bothered by [[spoiler: Jack's gang literally enslaving Jesse. In fact, he's the one who helped engineer his imprisonment. Neil even plays a passive role in Jesse's torture at the gang's hands.]] |
| 346 | * MultipleGunshotDeath: [[spoiler:Jesse puts five pistol bullets into his body during their final duel.]] |
| 347 | * NervesOfSteel: This guy's not easily rattled. He unexpectedly finds himself in an armed standoff with Jesse twice and shows no fear during either one. |
| 348 | * OpportunisticBastard: His plan stops and ends at finding Todd's money stash now that he is dead. |
| 349 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Averted, he is loosely associated with Jack's Aryan Brotherhood but doesn't seem to be part of them. He doesn't even have tattoos to show any Neo-Nazi affiliations. |
| 350 | * PostFinalBoss: The final villain of the entire ''Franchise/BreakingBad'' storyline and, more specifically, to [[Film/ElCamino Jesse's freedom]], with Walter White's storyline concluded. |
| 351 | * PragmaticVillainy: [[spoiler:Doesn't shoot Jesse in Todd's apartment as it'd cause more problems than it'd solve; it's better to let him take a third of Todd's hidden money than to cause a disturbance in a crime scene surrounded by apartments whose residents are already on edge. As Jesse points out, shooting him would mean he'd have to kill any witnesses and/or cops who'd come to investigate the gunshot.]] |
| 352 | * QuickDraw: While his idea for a duel with Jesse is idiotic, he does actually have some talent as a quick draw, as he [[spoiler:draws and almost manages to get a shot off before Jesse can fire, despite Jesse secretly having a [[HiddenWeapons hidden gun]] that is pointed at Neil and ready to fire right from the start]]. It's likely that he'd practiced a quick draw and that was why he proposed the idea in the first place. |
| 353 | * {{Sadist}}: Shows some signs. He seemed thoroughly entertained by Jesse's forced attempts to break his chain while imprisoned. And he clearly enjoys it when Jesse realizes who he is in the present. |
| 354 | -->'''Neil:''' [[SmugSmiler I was wondering when you'd remember me.]] |
| 355 | * SmugSnake: Bordering on SmallNameBigEgo. This guy projects a very superior attitude toward just about everyone. A bit ironic, considering he is actually one of the least impressive antagonists in the context of the series. |
| 356 | * TheSociopath: Shows signs of being a low-functioning example. He has the overconfidence, lack of empathy and cruelty, but none of the intelligence that made the likes of characters such as Gus and the Twins so dangerous. |
| 357 | * TalkingYourWayOut: When he gets into an armed standoff with Jesse in Todd's apartment, he talks Jesse into giving up with a bluff. |
| 358 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: [[spoiler: Since his original impression of Jesse was of a man broken and enslaved by neo-Nazis, Neil does not take him seriously as a threat. Even after Jesse has clearly proved himself more capable than he believed, he still looks down on him. This does not go well for him.]] |
| 359 | * VillainRespect: He admits Jesse has balls after his stunt in Todd's apartment. Towards the climax, he also offers to stake his very life in a one-on-one duel with Jesse rather than overwhelming him with his friends. |

| 370 | * BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:How Jesse offs him.]] |
| 371 | * TheDragon: To Neil. |
| 372 | * DragonTheirFeet: [[spoiler: After Neil dies, Casey tries to kill Jesse himself only to be killed himself shortly afterward.]] |
| 373 | * FinalBoss: For Jesse. [[spoiler: After his boss gets capped, Casey is the only thug who dares to stand between him and his freedom. [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy He's a bit less impressive than other examples of this trope, though.]]]] |
| 374 | * ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: [[spoiler:His gunfight with Jesse is a mess as neither can hit the other, but Jesse ends up on top and unscathed. Somewhat justified, because he and his friends were just partying with heavy alcohol and cocaine use on top of panicking even more than Jesse. Either that or Casey is just a poor shooter who has no gun training at all.]] |
| 375 | * ImpersonatingAnOfficer: [[spoiler:He and Neil pretend to be police detectives when they break into Todd's apartment looking for Walt's money. Their ruse fools Jesse until he realizes that they don't have handcuffs.]] |
| 376 | * {{Jerkass}}: He's a pathetic, violent criminal with anger issues (his drug and alcohol use might be a factor), which only gets worse after Jesse successfully took him hostage at gunpoint and forcing Neil to negotiate for Casey's release. Casey spends the remainder of the movie humiliated and outraged about his hostage taking, [[{{Manchild}} even making an unnecessary tantrum]] about hearing Neil let Jesse take home one-third of Todd's loot. |
| 377 | * MotorMouth: Casey has trouble keeping his damn mouth shut. Neil exploits this to distract an obnoxious resident while he searches for Todd's money. During Jesse's final confrontation with them, Neil tells Casey to shut up over ''three times'' to no avail before issuing a serious DeathGlare to get him to stop talking. |
| 378 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Much like Neil this is apparently averted, as no evidence is given to indicate that Casey holds any Neo-Nazi beliefs. |
| 379 | * PsychopathicManchild: He acts like a spoiled child and Neil frequently has to step in to stop his tantrums. He gets taken hostage by Jesse, and spends most of the movie angry and humiliated over this before exploding over hearing Neil let Jesse take about a third or more of the money stuffed in the fridge. |
| 380 | * RedOniBlueOni: The talkative, expressive, neurotic red to Neil's icy, sly, coolheaded blue. |
| 381 | * SmartBall: While a pretty dumb and ineffective criminal overall, he does have one moment of true cleverness in the film: when Jesse has him at gunpoint and tells him to call for his "[[ImpersonatingAnOfficer partner]]", Casey has the presence of mind to call for Neil by calling him "Lieutenant", which [[CovertDistressCode tips Neil off that something is wrong without giving it away to Jesse]]. |
| 382 | * VillainousBreakdown: A dumb petty crook who is [[spoiler: high on cocaine, half-drunk and scared after just seeing his far more competent accomplice get gunned down. It's no wonder he drops the ball after frantically grabbing his gun and trying to shoot a moving target.]] |
