Gustavo "Gus" Fring, mockingly referred to as The Chicken Man by Hector, is a Chilean-American restaurant entrepreneur and major narcotics distributor who primarily worked in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Originally collaborating with the Mexican drug cartel to distribute cartel cocaine, Gus eliminated his dependence on the cartel and began distributing methamphetamine himself, and eventually became the kingpin of his solo drug empire, which was the most successful drug operation in United States history until his former employee Walter White surpassed it with his own drug empire.
Gus is the proprietor of Los Pollos Hermanos, a highly successful fried chicken restaurant chain which he co-founded with his business associate and romantic partner Maximino "Max" Arciniega, and is also the owner of the industrial laundry facility called Lavandería Brillante. Gus uses both of these stores as a front for his meth distribution operation throughout the American southwest, supported by Los Pollos' corporate owners, Madrigal Electromotive GmbH.
Background information
Very little is known about Gustavo Fring's past and much of his background remains a mystery. It is probable that his name is an alias, since neither the DEA nor his own enforcer Mike Ehrmantraut could find any record of him prior to his arrival in Mexico, in 1986. He claims to be from Chile, and is sometimes referred to by cartel members as "The Chilean", but it is unclear whether or not he was born there as no records of his life exist prior to 1986 ("Hermanos"). Gus' true identity and past life prior to moving to the United States remains a mystery, though Cartel leader Eladio Vuente once revealed that he knows about who Gus actually is ("Hermanos"). Gus spent his childhood living in extreme poverty with his siblings (including at least two brothers) ("Piñata"). When he was 7 years old, he cultivated a lucuma tree and used it to feed himself and earn a living. One day, a coati ransacked the tree. Enraged, Gus set a trap and managed to capture the coati after waiting for hours. The coati was wounded by the trap but, instead of killing it, Gustavo kept it alive to prolong its suffering, later claiming it "lived for quite some time" despite the sustained injuries ("Piñata"). At a certain point, Gus moved to the Chilean capital of Santiago. There, he met German businessman Peter Schuler and the two were able to escape from an unknown situation when backed into a wall, becoming close associates as a result ("JMM"). Lalo Salamanca also referred to a mysterious incident involving Gus which took place in Santiago ("Magic Man"). Most importantly, in Santiago Gus also met Maximino Arciniega, an extremely gifted chemist; at this point, Gus could also afford to pay for Max's university education and the two became very close to each other ("Hermanos"). At some point in his life Gus may have served in the Chilean military, eventually rising to the higher ranks, as in one instance Hector taunted him with the title "big generalissimo" ("One Minute"). Sometime during the 1980s, Gus fled Chile and in 1986 settled in Mexico with Max ("Hermanos"); he was also somehow able to almost completely erase all records of his existence in Chile, as Hank Schrader mentions that there are no records of him ever living there, implying that he may be a wanted fugitive or a war criminal ("Hermanos"). Gus explains this, though likely lying, by saying that the Chilean government under dictator Augusto Pinochet was "notoriously unreliable about keeping records"("Hermanos"). In Mexico, Gus and Max started a chain of restaurants named Los Pollos Hermanos, while also developing a high-class strain of methamphetamine. The two sought to start a partnership with Don Eladio Vuente, feeling he could provide them global access for their product. Eladio, however, was less than impressed by their pitch, feeling that the pair had insulted him by secretly dealing under his nose. Despite the two's apologies, Eladio ordered Hector Salamanca to shoot Max in the head as punishment. Gus was outraged by the loss of the man he loved and broke down in tears. Eladio spared Gus' life and told him that the only reason he was not killed alongside Max was because he "knows who he really is". Hector then tells Gus to "stick to chicken". ("Hermanos") In 1989, Gus emigrated to the United States and expanded his restaurant business. In 1994, he established a chemistry scholarship in Max's name at the University of New Mexico. At some point in his career, Gus forged a connection with a German conglomerate called Madrigal Electromotive GmbH, which backed his meth distribution network. His close friend and associate Peter Schuler, whom he previously met in Chile, was able to make this possible ("JMM"). Gus eventually became a meth distributor for the Cartel, with Juan Bolsa acting as his boss. In 1999, Don Hector started his own distribution network, becoming Gus' main competitor, even if both of them ultimately still reported to Don Eladio. During this time, the boss unfavorably compared Hector's operation to Gus's, much to Hector's dismay ("Sabrosito"). During all these years, Gus appeared acquiescent while secretly plotting to exact revenge on Hector, Eladio, and Bolsa, and also eliminating his dependence on the cartel by producing his own meth via a "superlab" hidden beneath an industrial laundry. To fend off suspicions and people digging into him, Gus conducted his business with extreme caution, never dealing with drug addicts or those he saw as irrational or having poor judgment. This was due in large part to his established role as a businessman, philanthropist, and restaurateur.
Breaking Bad
In the years spanning late 2004 to early 2009, Gus had become completely independent from the Cartel and started his own drug empire. His superlab was assembled by Gus' chemist Gale Boetticher, who later assured Gus that Walter White's "Blue Sky" meth is extremely pure, leading to Gus choosing to hire Walt. ("Box Cutter") Gus used his several legitimate businesses, including a chain of successful fried chicken restaurants called Los Pollos Hermanos (The Chicken Brothers) and an industrial laundry facility called Lavandería Brillante (Bright Laundry), as fronts used to launder money for his vast drug operation. Gus's restaurants are located across the southwestern United States, with his flagship restaurant in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the firm's chicken farm and distribution center at the outskirts of the city. The company is a subsidiary of Madrigal Electromotive GmbH, a multinational company based in Germany which has ownership stakes in multiple subsidiaries. While his restaurant chain is a legitimate business, it serves as a front for Gus to distribute cocaine for a Mexican cartel and later develop his own methamphetamine production and distribution business. Gus operates in partnership with two Madrigal executives: Peter Schuler, a German who serves as the company president, and Lydia Rodarte-Quayle, the company's Houston-based vice president of global logistics. Around this time, Gus' drug operation was the most successful in United States history. Gus had also established a full working relationship with Mike, who has become his chief of security and head enforcer, alongside Gus' fellow enforcers Victor and Tyrus. Saul Goodman had also become aware of Gus by this point in time, though was unaware of his name and true identity, only knowing that he is a cautious businessman that deals in bulk.
After Breaking Bad
While arguing with Kim Wexler about turning themselves in, Saul reveals to Kim that Gus and Mike are dead and as such, she doesn't have to fear retribution from them, also stating that he thinks Lalo is dead as well. Kim subsequently provides both Cheryl Hamlin and the district attorney with an affidavit revealing the truth about Howard Hamlin's death, how Lalo had forced her to try to kill Gus and how Gus' men, Mike in particular, had staged Howard's murder as a suicide. ("Waterworks") Saul would later be sentenced to 86 years in federal prison for his various criminal charges, including his connections to Gus and Walt's drug empires. ("Saul Gone")
A defining characteristic of Gus is the friendly and low-key exterior he maintains: he takes an active role in managing his front businesses and personally supervises employees and serves customers at his Los Pollos Hermanos restaurants. Quiet and humble, he is incredibly cautious about with whom he does business and keeps a very healthy distance from the product he sells in order to appear almost invisible. Despite being a multi-state meth distribution mastermind, Gus carefully maintains a public profile of propriety: noticeably, he is a major booster for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and has made large donations to the agency's Albuquerque office. Gus is so successful, in large part, because of his cautious nature — he plans ahead and has the patience to let his business grow slowly. As part of his scheme to "hide in plain sight", he drives a modest dark blue 1998 Volvo V70.
However, Gus is ruthless and machiavellian in managing his vast drug empire, keeping the entire operation under his icy control. Gus admires professionalism and caution in his colleagues, and is generally calm and calculated. He employs a number of enforcers and has personally killed rivals and associates, making him a dangerous, cold-blooded murderer. In interviews, Giancarlo Esposito said he made the choice to make Gus "graceful". He described him as "someone who is poised to take over the cartel, someone who is poised to manipulate other people into doing what he needs them to do". Gustavo doesn't trust anyone who isn't as cautious as he is, as they are too unpredictable, and he prides himself on being several steps ahead at all times. With that, Gus is controlled, cold, powerful, and menacing. Even someone like Walter White, at its moment, was terrified about what Gus could do to both himself and his family due to having proven it before by killing Victor, one of his closest and most reliable employees, right in front of his eyes without any hesitation.
There is a fair amount of information that is unknown about Gus's past. Gus left Chile in 1986, the same year in which the Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front attempted to assassinate Augusto Pinochet. Although there are no existing Chilean records of Gus, there are two instances which demonstrate his possible involvement in the Pinochet government: Hector Salamanca refers to Gus as "Grand Generalissimo" in a flashback, and Don Eladio tells Gus that he is "not in Chile anymore", but spares his life because he knows who Gus really is. A possible interpretation of Don Eladio's line is that they spare Gus because killing him could put them at risk of being subject to retaliation that their association with the cartel cannot protect them from. Gus appears to be quite proud of his Chilean roots, even preparing paila marina, a traditional Chilean seafood dish, for both Walt and Jesse. He tells Walt "it's just like my mother used to make it".
Gus has shown to have an obsession in having everything perfectly clean and controlled by himself and does not tolerate when something is not going as he planned it to be. Right after learning about Gale's murder, he went to the superlab, where at that moment Walter and Jesse were restrained as hostages. Before killing Victor, Gus is seen putting on a hazmat suit to avoid getting blood onto his clothes, and after he murdered Victor, Gus took a shower, cleaned his glasses and dressed again. After tricking Don Eladio and the rest of the cartel into drinking poisoned Zafiro Añejo by drinking a shot himself, Gus excuses himself to the toilet and takes the time to neatly fold his jacket, take off his glasses, and place a hand towel on the floor to keep his pants clean before vomitting the tequila. This is further seen in Better Call Saul, when Gus was being threatened and scared by the posible return of Lalo Salamanca, and in order to keep himself in calm, Gus cleans up his own house and the kitchen of Los Pollos Hermanos, attempting to leave them perfectly clean. Also, before going to his laundry and facing Lalo, Gus takes off the tie he was wearing to ensure it won't get dirty.
Gus is also a man of honor as he reimburses any damages done to the property of his employees such as their cars when performing duties he requires them to. After Hector Salamanca went to Los Pollos Hermanos and threatened the employees, Gus sincerely apologized to all of them, offering them full pay for their shift, having them to take the rest of the day off, and gave an additional 24 hours of overtime pay. He is even seen with Jesse due to the suffering he was going through because of Brock's condition, offering to Jesse use his influence to give the child the best medical treatment and letting him to return to the lab the next week. While having no problem killing someone, Gus seems to not enjoy doing it and only enjoys killing people that did something to him, like Eladio Vuente or Juan Bolsa. Even in dangerous situations, he keeps his apathetic head. However, he lost his cool several times, such as when he discovered that Hector was going to suicide bomb him and when he fought Lalo in the superlab, repeatedly pulling the trigger on his gun even after running out of bullets and looking terrified.
However, Gus has been shown to genuinely care about people, noticeably Max Arciniega (the other "hermano" of the Los Pollos Hermanos brand name), who Gus took off the streets of Santiago, put through school, cared for and was interested in developing his potential. The humanity of Gus' personality played an integral role in his development, especially the very deep business and romantic relationship that Gus had with Max. The brutal loss of Max at Hector and Eladio's hands is partially what turned Gus into a ruthless villain, who is not above anything when it comes to avenging Max's death, including the murder of children (like Tomás Cantillo) and the gradual killing of Hector's entire family. However, his dedication to avenging Max's death would ultimately be Gustavo's one and ultimate weakness which would lead to his own violent demise and the destruction of his drug empire.

1 de feb. de 2024 · Breaking Bad's Gus Fring death scene is possible — but not realistic to every degree.
