Gus Fring

Gustavo Fring was born on April 26, 1958. Very little is known about Gus' past and much of his background remains a mystery. His true identity prior to moving to the United States remains a mystery, though Eladio Vuente, the leader of the Cartel once revealed that he knows about who Gus actually is. Gus claims to be from Chile, but it is unclear whether or not he was born there as no records of his life exist prior to 1989. Gus claims to have spent his childhood living in extreme poverty with his siblings. When he was 7 years old, he cultivated a lucuma tree and used it to feed himself and earn a living. One day, a coati ransacked the tree. Enraged, Gus managed to capture the coat and left it to die. Gus may have served in the military at some point in his life as in one instance, Hector referred to him as "generalissimo". Sometime during the 1980s, Gus fled Chile and moved to Mexico during the Pinochet regime. At one point in Santiago, he met Peter Schuler and the two were able to escape from an unknown situation when backed into a wall, becoming close associates as a result Gustavo was also somehow able to almost completely erase all records of his existence in Chile as Hank Schrader mentions that there are no records of him ever living there, implying that he may be a wanted fugitive or a war criminal. Gus explains this (though likely lying) by saying that Pinochet's government was "notoriously unreliable about keeping records" In the late 1980s, Gus met and fell in love with a gifted chemist named Maximino Arciniega, whom Gustavo put through school, and the two started a chain of restaurants in Mexico. On the side, they developed a high-class strain of meth and wanted to start a partnership with Don Eladio Vuente, feeling he could provide the pair global access to their product. Eladio, however, was less than impressed by their pitch, feeling that the pair had insulted him by secretly dealing under his nose and despite the two's apologies, Eladio ordered Hector Salamanca to shoot Max in the head as punishment. Gus was outraged by the loss of the man he loved and broke down in tears. Eladio spared Gus' life and told him that the only reason he was not killed alongside Max was that he "knows" who he really is. Hector then tells Gus to "stick to chicken". Sometime later, Gus emigrated to the United States and expanded his restaurant business. In 1994, he established a chemistry scholarship in Max's name at the University of New Mexico. At some point in his career, Gus forged a connection with a German conglomerate called Madrigal Electromotive GmbH, which backed his meth distribution network. His close friend and associate Peter Schuler, whom he previously met in Chile, was able to make this possible. Gus eventually became a meth distributor for the Cartel, with Juan Bolsa acting as his boss. In 1999, Don Hector started his own distribution network, becoming Gus' main competitor. During this time, Don Eladio ridiculed and mocked Hector, much to Hector's dismay. Gus appeared acquiescent but secretly plotted to exact revenge on Hector and eliminate his dependence on the cartel by producing his own meth via a "superlab" hidden beneath an industrial laundry. To fend off suspicions and people digging into him, Gus conducted his business with extreme caution, never dealing with drug addicts or those he saw as irrational or having poor judgment. This was due in large part to his established role as a businessman, philanthropist, and restaurateur.

Gus explains this (though likely lying) by saying that Pinochet's government was "notoriously unreliable about keeping records" In the late 1980s, Gus met and fell in love with a gifted chemist named Maximino Arciniega, whom Gustavo put through school, and the two started a chain of restaurants in Mexico. On the side, they developed a high-class strain of meth and wanted to start a partnership with Don Eladio Vuente, feeling he could provide the pair global access to their product. Eladio, however, was less than impressed by their pitch, feeling that the pair had insulted him by secretly dealing under his nose and despite the two's apologies, Eladio ordered Hector Salamanca to shoot Max in the head as punishment.

Gus claims to be from Chile, but it is unclear whether or not he was born there as no records of his life exist prior to 1989. Gus claims to have spent his childhood living in extreme poverty with his siblings. When he was 7 years old, he cultivated a lucuma tree and used it to feed himself and earn a living. One day, a coati ransacked the tree. Enraged, Gus managed to capture the coat and left it to die. Gus may have served in the military at some point in his life as in one instance, Hector referred to him as "generalissimo".
