Every Breaking Bad Villain Ranked From Worst To Best

9. Don Eladio

Breaking Bad

Don Eladio was a character who didn't play a massive role in the lives of Jesse and Walter, but he gets a place above Krazy-8 thanks to the fact that he at least had a significant amount of power and was far more intimidating.

Although his character was a minor player at best, he did have some incredibly badass moments, such as the killing of one half of Los Pollos Hermanos and his influence as a crime boss.

Additionally, the character had a massive role to play in the set up of Gus Fring - who we will get to much later -, and this is nothing to be scoffed at. His antagonism towards that major villain helped fuel some of the ferocity that turned the chicken shop mogul into the cold-blooded monster he was, so in a roundabout way, he did have a heavy influence on the series.

However, in the overall canon of the show, he didn't play a big enough part to rank highly. Additionally, his demise was rather embarrassing, as Gus managed to trick him and his entire crew into drinking poisoned tequila, proving that while he was powerful, he wasn't the smartest of villains.
