El Camino: Every Breaking Bad Character That Appears

While Mike Ehrmantrout may have already bit the dust before the conclusion of Breaking Bad, this didn't stop him from appearing in El Camino. This should not be too much of a surprise, since the character had already appeared in Better Call Saul since his death at the hands of Walter White.

There was a time when Mike worked quite closely with Jesse, and while the two never became friends, they earned a certain respect from each other. Mike saw the danger in working together with Walt, and did his best to get Jesse out of the way before everything fell apart.

In the very first scene of El Camino, Jesse and Mike share a serene moment, talking about the life they live and where they would go when they got out. This planted the seed in Jesse’s mind to go to Alaska, setting up the entire movie narrative of the protagonist chasing his clean break.
