El Camino: Every Breaking Bad Character That Appears
4. Ed
Ed played a key part in the story toward the conclusion of Breaking Bad. After things went south in Heisenberg's operation, he arranged for both Walt's new life in New Hampshire, and Saul's new life in Omaha.
These skills were also vital in El Camino, as Jesse's entire plan was to get to Ed and start a new life for himself in Alaska. However, as a specialist in his very specific, and very illegal field, he had very strict rules. Since Jesse broke these rules in their previous run-in, he had to go even further to get his fresh start.
On top of the money Pinkman owed Ed for wasting his time before, Jesse had to scrape the money together to pay for his new Alaskan identity. After some hard bargaining and a call to the police, Ed agreed to help Jesse, granting him his wish and ending the Pinkman story in the happiest way possible, with a fresh start.
