Breaking Bad: Each Main Character Ranked From Worst To Best

7. Todd Alquist

Breaking Bad was home to numerous deplorable wretches, but few quite as effective as the emotionless sadist Todd Alquist. Aided by a towering performance from Jesse Plemons, Todd turned up in the show's fifth season and shocked the world when it came to light that under his calm and collected demeanor, he was nothing but a monster.

With zero remorse and unflinching loyalty, Todd ended up becoming Walt's right-hand after the death of Mike and shocked everyone when he not only killed a child, but spent the majority of season five cruelly torturing Jesse Pinkman. He even killed Andrea, Jesse's ex, in an act as emotionally devastating as it was psychopathic.

Todd may not have been as business-minded as Gus or Lydia, or as jammy as Walt, but he used his hidden evil and unwavering loyalty to keep himself out of trouble and in his employers' good graces at every turn. He would rank a lot higher, but he wasn't around as long as the others on this list.

I get to write about what I love, so that's pretty cool. Every great film should seem new every time you see it. Be excellent to each other.
