(Sorry, but Nachoswhispered mention inBreaking Baddoesnt count.
Ditto for Stacey Ehrmantrauts fleeting, uncredited glimpse inBB, which is too scant even for this list.)
If we happened to miss something or someone, well, as Saul might advise, sue us!
Does He Survive?Yeah, no.
Which makeshis debut in theSaul/BBuniversecirca 2004 all the more bittersweet.
But he did get tosport a goatee-eating grinupon arresting the attorney funneling money to Guss jailed allies.
Except then said lawyer and all the other men wereviolently murdered in prisonat Walts behest.
Does He Survive?Nope.
A thankless end for a character often taken for granted.

Indeed, Ed, you havedelivered to him before.
It is, in its own way, the fondest farewell.

(Too late.)

Krazy-8, a.k.a.
Does He Survive?Sure does.

And he probably thrives.
Signature Moment:Calling out Marie on her thievery.Near fisticuffs ensued!
Does She Survive?Like Ken, she is presumed to still be living well.

Either version is a fan favorite.
Signature Moment:Shaking down andabsolutely shutting downan apoplectic Walter White.
Does She Survive?Assuming her diet skews healthier than her customers, yes.
to patch up Mr. Fring and his crew.
Does He Survive?All evidence points to yes.
Maybe more of Guss men should have mouthed off to him after all.
Beats having your brains blown out in a strip-mall parking lot.
No TV geek has ever met a more poetic and violent end.
That man was wound tight tight tight!
Does He Survive?Emphasis on was.
And we mean a blaze: By all appearances, heliterally exploded.
Signature Moment:Harried,screaming into a pillow.
Does She Survive?Hell no.
Death by ricin, which Walt deviously subbed into her tea in lieu of Stevia.

Does He Survive?Yes, and plenty wealthier after selling Vamonos to Walt and the gang.
Signature Moment:Gettingabsolutely pummeledby Tuco after popping off to Walter White.
Does He Survive?For a few minutes after that mauling, yes.

(This was a bad idea.)
Does He Survive?As you may have guessed, no such luck.
Signature Moment:Anotherunforgettable death, shot from an unforgettable POV.

Except Gus excused himself and puked it up.

Only problem was that he wasmissing half of his face.
(Hes dead.)
Signature Moment:The only thing Mikes better at than killing and caring for is lecturing.
Ice is as cold as he.
Walt, of all people, gets the final say in how thistough-as-nails bastard bites it.
