Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher, is diagnosed with lung cancer and turns to manufacturing methamphetamine to cover his medical costs and provide for his family after his death. He teams up with his former student Jesse Pinkman to cook and sell meth. They make a lot of money but face threats from drug kingpins and law enforcement, especially Walter's brother-in-law Hank, a DEA agent investigating the drug trade.
2. The Hero
Walter White (aka Heisenberg) is the
hero of Breaking Bad. He is an over
qualified high school chemistry
teacher that is diagnosed with
inoperable lung cancer and doesn’t
have the money to get the treatment
he needs, and in the worst case
scenario his family wont have the
money for college and healthcare etc.
So Walter turns to manufacturing
and selling methamphetamine to
cover all the costs.
3. The Helper
When Walter is in need of money he
joins a ride along with his brother-in-
law and finds the lab of Jesse
Pinkman, seeing how easily he made
money. Jesse is an ex-student of
Walter’s. Armed with Walter’s near
perfectly pure meth and Jesse’s
selling knowledge and connections
they make a good team, ultimately
making a lot of money together.
4. The Villain
Hank Schrader
Hank is Walter’s brother-in-law and
also a DEA agent. Hank is leading the
investigation of the
methamphetamine cook
“Heisenberg” unaware that the drug
kingpin is also his brother-in-law.
Other Drug Kingpins are also Villains, anybody else
that is producing meth is competition, of which
will always be a threat to Walter and Jesse. People
like Tuco Salamanca, he is a drug crazed dealer
with an anger problem, and had beaten to death
people in front of Walter and Jesse, so they feared
for their lives and had to get away from this
psychopath as soon as possible
5. The False Hero
Gustavo Fring is the false hero
because he first provides Walter
and Jesse with a multi million dollar
lab to cook high quality meth in
high quantities, offering three
million dollars for three months of
Walter’s time. With Gus also
protecting him against the cartel.
However, as the three months
draws to a close Gus promises to
the cartel that they will be free to
kill Walter as soon as he finishes his
cooking. Gus also ordered his
dealers to kill Thomas, the eleven-
year-old brother of Jesse’s girlfriend
Andrea.
6. The Donor
Saul Goodman
Saul is the donor because he helps
Walter and Jesse score big with
the Meth they are selling. Saul
puts them in contact with Gustavo
Fring who, although turns out to
be bad, helps Walter with large
amounts of money. Saul also helps
with advice on them money
laundering through the car wash.
Ultimately Walter and Jesse would
not be able to have cooked to
such a high success and made the
money seem legal without Saul.
7. The Dispatcher
The dispatcher in this
series is the cancer itself,
the cancer is what sets
Walter on this journey of
making money. If Walter
had never been
diagnosed with cancer
he would have never
needed the money for
his treatment, thus
would have never started
cooking Meth.
8. The Princess
Walter’s son (Walter Jr.)
and his daughter
(Holly) are the
princess’. These two
are the part of the
main reason Walter is
cooking Meth, they are
the motivation to keep
going and not to give
up, the ultimate prize.
