Determined to get it right and please his boss, Lyle kept scrubbing furiously, even as his hands became red and raw. The situation had nothing to do with the innocent Lyle or the cleanliness of the fryers and was just about Gus trying to assert a feeling of control when he felt like he had none otherwise.
Hellbent on still getting his long-awaited revenge against Hector Salamanca, Gus hired a specialized doctor to help Hector recover after his stroke. The doctor helped Hector become cognizant again and to respond to verbal cues and to communicate by merely tapping his finger. The doctor told Gus that with more treatment, Hector might be able to walk and talk again. Gus chose to discontinue the doctor's treatment so he could keep Hector trapped in a state of being cognizant without being able to ever talk or move.
Hector was a ruthless individual who callously murdered Gus's partner Max, but that doesn't negate the sheer cruelty of what Gus did to Hector, keeping him trapped in a state where Hector knew he was being tormented without being able to do anything about it. When Gus and Walter White's relationship was at a particularly fraught point in season 4 of Breaking Bad , Walt tried to stick it to him by refusing to clean the lab and having some of Gus's laundromat employees clean it instead.
Walt paid them handsomely for the work and took satisfaction in Gus having to watch his employees do Walt's work. Gus retaliated by having the employees deported.
Gus would claim that he did this because bringing them into the lab was a security risk, but it was ultimately about proving his dominance to Walt, even at the cost of deporting his own workers.
Victor was certainly no angel, but he was always loyal to Gus. After Victor was seen by civilians at the scene of Gale's tragic death , Gus slit Victor's throat with a box cutter and let him bleed to death.
Gus felt that Victor had become a liability and wanted to send a message to Walt and Jesse of what would happen to them if they crossed him again. While this scene was gruesome, the true horror was how Gus emotionlessly murdered one of the most loyal and dedicated individuals in his organization.
Gus ultimately cared most about self-preservation and power and would eliminate anyone who threatened these ideals, even his most trusted men. According to his stories, Gus hailed from Chile, where he grew up as a child in extreme poverty.
Though there was no official record of Gus living in Chile, he eventually emigrated to Mexico before being granted a visa to the United States. It was his time in Mexico, however, that truly shaped his future. In the '80s, Gus partnered with a chemist named Maximino Arciniega while living in Mexico.
The pair decided to start a chain of fast food restaurants to cover their distribution of high-quality meth cooked up by Max. It's implied that they may have been more than just business partners, and that Gus and Max were actually in a romantic relationship. Either way, the duo proposed a deal with the Mexican cartel - specifically, Don Eladio Vuente. During the meeting, they unintentionally offended the powerful man, leading to Eladio ordering his henchman, Hector Salamanca to shoot Max in the head.
He also established a chemistry scholarship at the University of New Mexico in his partner's name, and he was seen visiting a memorial dedicated to Max in Better Call Saul season 5. Gus eventually gets an opportunity with the cartel as a distributor leading up to the events of Better Call Saul. Despite the various reveals, questions still remain about the notion that Gus may have been a member of the military, and even had his own family. Even in dangerous situations, he keeps his apathetic head.
The only time Gus did lose his cool, however, was moments before his death when he discovered Hector Salamanca was a suicide bomb to kill him. Despite his flaws, he is a man of honor and will always repay his debts to someone.
However, Gustavo does have a compassionate side and genuinely cares about people. He saved Max Arcienega from the slums, financed him going to school and partnered with him together to become the co-managers of Los Pollos Hermanos and enter the methamphetamine trade together. After Max was killed before his eyes, the loss of such an emotional and possible romantic factor of his life snapped Gustavo into a ruthless crime lord. He has a vengeful side as well and lives by a "blood for blood" motto ever since Max's death rather than simply business, killing the cartel proves to be more out of a personal vendetta.
Because of this, he took delight in tormenting Hector Salamanca over both of his nephew's death and Walter was able to use Gustavo's hatred for Hector to result in his death. It was noted a massive personality change of Gus around the 4th season. Whereas earlier he has shown to be patient with Walter and Jesse after they continued to defy him; Jesse preparing to attack two of his dealers who killed his girlfriend's brother and Walter actually killing them then murdering his meth cook, Gale Boetticher, seemed to turn Gustavo more unhinged.
Whereas in Season 2, he claimed that fear was not an effective motivator amongst his employees; by Season 4, he threatened to kill Walter's entire family should he interfere.
Though he usually orders men to fulfill his jobs, a testament to his descent into a deranged criminal was when he killed Victor, his own man in front of Walter and Jesse with a box cutter as he defied him and didn't seem fazed over killing Victor, calmly telling them to get back to work and left his body as a grim reminder.
It was this deteriorating state of mind that was the cause of Walter's constant planning to kill him. Villains Wiki. Villains Wiki Explore. Top Content. Lady Death Chaos! Jester of Chaos BeholderofStuff Valkerone.
