Although Walt and Jesse escape, as a result of this encounter Hector learns Walt's name and what Jesse looks like; Tuco had read their names out loud to him off their driver's licenses, and showed Hector a picture of Walt's family ("Grilled").
When Tuco kidnapped Walt and Jesse and brought them to Hector's house in Grilled, he took Walt's wallet and read his real name aloud off his driver's license.
As Vince Gilligan said in an interview (via Vulture), the name Walter White is intentionally dry. It appealed to the showrunner because it had an alliterative sound to it. Its strange blandness seems to capture the essence of Walter White's characterization before he adopts his Heisenberg alter ego.
Hector raised Tuco and his other nephews, Marco and Leonel (also known as the Cousins), to be high-ranking members in the cartel. Due to Hector's rivalry with Gus, all of his nephews were murdered. Hector decided he had enough so he orchestrated Gus' murder with Walt by attaching a bomb to his wheelchair.
Even if Walt strapped the bomb around hector unwillingly, hector knowingly rang his bell, knowing he'd blow up. Say it was to kill Gus, I still don't find that a reason to even kill hector himself.
Sexuality. Much of Gus's motives are driven by revenge for the death of his partner Maximino "Max" Arciniega by the Mexican cartel. Gus and Max's relationship was long implied to be more than business before their confirmation as lovers by showrunner Peter Gould in 2022.
Hector hates Jesse and Walt for their involvement in Tuco's death and attempted poisoning of him, but he hates the feds more, and so refuses to rat out Jesse. This also means that Jesse is free and outside prison for the rest of Hector's family to take cartel-style vengeance on him and Walt for Tuco.
After an unexplained incident, he's left paralyzed in most of his body and can't speak or move on his own. His only means of communication is the bell on his wheelchair. Walt was desperate to get rid of Gus after he threatened to kill his entire family and heard that Gus and Hector were enemies.
Gus Fring's verbal beat-down also confirms (if it wasn't already clear) that the real reason he didn't let Hector die from a heart attack in Better Call Saul season 3 was because he wanted the Salamanca patriarch to watch everything and everyone he loved die before kicking the bucket himself.
The blast wave severely injured his right side - but it didn't hit his vital organs, which could explain why the Gus Fring death in Breaking Bad wasn't immediate.
Walter White chose the alias "Heisenberg" based on the German physicist Werner Heisenberg, using it to separate himself from his actions and suppress guilt, reflecting the famous uncertainty principle associated with Heisenberg's work.
Walter Hartwell White Sr., also known by his alias Heisenberg, is the fictional antihero protagonist of the American crime drama television series Breaking Bad, portrayed by Bryan Cranston.
The Salamanca twins don't speak due to Breaking Bad positioning them as a terrifying force of nature, but this, unfortunately, does not work. Throughout season 3, the audience is slowly given information about how the brothers are getting to New Mexico, and how they find out about Walter White and Hank Schrader.
He is also the business rival and arch-nemesis of Gus Fring, whose drive for revenge was created by Hector when he murdered his boyfriend, Max Arciniega, in front of him under Don Eladio's orders.
The self-described 'journeyman actor' had parts in more than 60 films across five-decade career. Mark Margolis, the American actor best known for his role as former drug kingpin Hector Salamanca in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, has died. He was 83.
Gus may have mentioned having a family to earn Walter's respect and cooperation, as part of his manipulative nature. While Gus's kids were never shown in Breaking Bad, the actor who played him revealed they were originally intended to be part of the series.
After attempting to establish a partnership with the Cartel, Max was murdered by Hector Salamanca on the orders of Don Eladio as punishment for Gustavo's disrespectful actions of manipulating Eladio into a meeting by selling drugs to his men without consent.
Manuel accepts Hector's initial payment after Nacho convinces him that doing so is for his own safety. Nacho realizes Hector suffers from angina and decides to try to kill him by replacing his nitroglycerin with ibuprofen in the hopes of inducing a fatal heart attack.
Not only is Nacho's dad a civilian, but he also stood staunchly against his son's involvement with the cartel. The more Nacho's dad pushed back against being dominated, the closer Hector inched to killing him. Nacho was left with no choice but to take his boss down.
Later on, Walt himself admitted to Jesse that he poisoned Brock with a Lily of the Valley plant just to keep Jesse on his side in order for them to orchestrate the death of Gus Fring, but by that point, their relationship was already in shambles.
Breaking Bad: How Walt Actually Poisoned Brock - IMDb. Walt's poisoning of Brock is considered his most heinous act, as it exemplifies his descent into pure villainy and his willingness to harm a child. Walt planted the poison in Brock's juice box at school, ensuring that only Brock would come into contact with it.
As punishment, they drove with Jesse to Andrea's house where Todd walked in and shot her. Jesse cried in anguish as remorseless Jack told him they'd kill Brock too if he tried to escape again.
Walt visits Hector and offers him a truce via an opportunity to kill Gus as revenge for wiping out the Salamanca family. Hector asks to speak with the DEA but rather than disclosing anything, simply insults them (by spelling out S-U-C-K-M-Y and F-U-C on a letter board).
